Hi All,

I am a 43 year old Christian married man and I have a sex addiction. I have been addicted to alcohol and drugs, and have been alcohol/drug free for almost 5 years, but my sexual addiction has been getting more out of control. I have been spending hundreds of dollars in online chat rooms and it is easy to spend over $160 in a day.

I chose the name Pax, because it is one of the root meanings of Peace, and that is what I seek. I know this is a journey, and this is one of the beginnings. I have put myself on some online prayer lists, and it has helped a bit. I am still visiting occasionally, but not buying, just chatting and looking.

I have abuse issues: sexual, emotional, physical from childhood, and have been in and out of Therapy for most of my twenties and thirties. Presently, I am not in any therapy. I am not going to church, and have very little contact with others. I am lonely and isolated. My wife is younger, 25, and we do not have an intimate (emotionally supportive) relationship.

Sorry, this sounds so sad, but I guess it is my reality right now. I have had periods of very little sexual addiction or lust, and I know it is possible to be free from lust.

Thanks in Advance for your help,
Pax
