I am new to this board. I just saw this thread and wanted to post my sobriety and recovery dates. I have been sexually sober since 13 Sep 05 and my recovery date is 5 Aug 05. Sober for me is no sex outside of marriage, no porn OF ANY KIND (movies, internet, mags, strip clubs, massage parlors, soft core, maxim, any of that), and no masturbation. My consequences for violating my major boundaries are immediate accountability to my wife and sponsor and separation and or divorce. I also have minor boundaries as well with consequences.
I become sober thru an awesome mens group, they work with Dr. Doug Weiss, 12 step, 5 commandments, accountability, meetings, recovery material and sponsor. And God is a HUGE part of it as well....
Sex addiction for me is still and everyday battle. Just like recoverying alcoholics say, they are one drink away from being an alcoholic.
I don't know how many folks know that the endorphins released from masturbating are 4X stronger than heroin. And folks wonder why it is so hard to stop.
I also wear a rubber band on my wrist and snap it when I violate any of my minor boundaries (mainly the objectifying of women or fantasizing)
Good luck and god bless,
Greg
