New beginning?

Well, it is over a year sinceI last wrote.

I have, at least for the moment, managed to kick the escort habit - it is several months since I misbehaved.

It is a beginning - but only that. As with any addiction, it only takes a moment's weakness to fall off the wagon and, once one has broken that vow, it is all too easy to let it spiral away. Sexual addiction is difficult, perhaps more difficult than other addictions - sexual motifs surround us. Temptation is constant and one cannot abstain totally if one is in a relationship - or at least it would not be fair to one's partner to do so.

So, much as 20 years on, someone will refer to themselves as a "recovering alcholic", I am a recovering sex addict. I'll never be cured but I might just not fuck up my life.
