Advice please! (Detox/not alcohol or substance)

Maybe not, but there is a podcast :innocent:

He may be. It sucks a lot. There’s a list of common withdrawal symptoms for sex addicts here:

Everyone’s withdrawal is different but a common factor is this: do whatever needs to be done to stay sober and clean. For me that included regular meetings and lots and lots of phone calls and texts with people in the fellowship (meeting attendees). It does not include anything that feeds the addiction. He needs to be vigilant about that. In my case I have the apps on my phone controlled and my wife has the password to release the controls. I can use the phone like normal for all the legitimate websites I need.

That :arrow_up: is the only way I have my wife actively involved in any part of my recovery. For us we decided that her emotional journey was hers and mine was mine, and that we both needed to do our own recovery and emotional work so that both of us could be present in our marriage. For us it works.

It is a lot of work, but it is the same as any true recovery: it is always one day at a time, one step at a time.
