I’m addicted to Porn, Masturbation and Phone Sexting

Welcome @Anonymous2022, it’s nice to meet you :innocent: You are not alone - many people struggle with this exact addiction.

The ways of describing this addiction vary, but in my case, I say that I’m addicted to lust. I’m addicted to the thrill, the tease, the forbidden. I’m addicted to sexual behaviour and thinking which is about me gratifying my own fantasies.

I’ve never had a sexual experience without my spouse that I was grateful for or happy about.)

I found it very helpful to join a recovery program focused on recovery from lust and sex addiction. There are many such programs. In my case I attend Sexaholics Anonymous (www.SA.org); there are other programs too:
