Antnick Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 I have, what I think, is almost an addiction that is getting rather out of control - visiting escorts and viewing escort websites - (No pornography as trhat doesn't interest me). I work on my own (self employed sole trader) so internet access is easy and always available - a complete distraction. I can be on the internet for extended periods of time in total secrecy. Having viewed sites, once or twice a fortnight I feel the need to visit chosen escorts - costing me a packet and impinging on my work. I want and need to stop this internet and escort habit - Any advice ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hi Antnick I you can't stop, then that is a sure sign you have an addiction, and the only way to stop is to get specialist treatment. Having been on Paula's recovery courses, I would highly recommend them, but you could also try a local 12 step programme. I think there are 3 main ones - SA, SAA and SLAA - google them and see how they differ and whether any have meetings near you. I would commend Paula's book on sex addiction too - it will help you understand a little more what you are dealing with. Please come back and tell us how it is going.

Antnick Posted February 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Thanks for advice. - I think I might have solved my 'problem' - Firstly it is the first time I had actually written down and admitted my situation. Upon reflection of this I realise the cause of my escort visits is the damned internet when I am working on my own. I have rearranged things so computer (and internet) are out of reach and sight. The inability to browse for look for escorts means the compulsion to visit has gone - No see, no go! Hopefully this simple solution and discipline will sort this bad habit once and for all. No recovery progam needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutonofap Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hi Antnick! If your problem is the internet access I recommend you to install a software like Coldturkey so you will be able to block internet access while you get access to your computer or block the entire computer access to determinated hours / days, or block determinated sites (urls), also a Google search term, for me this software works like a charm and it only costs $20 USD for a lifetime membership. Coldturkey It's very important to get various forms of block access to our main triggers, so in case you have a problem or a very high urgencie to restart an addicted behavior you will not be able to get access to that sites Give it a try and let us know how you are going on...
