Do you suffer from an addiction?
For a lot of people it's helpful to write down and share their story. This open forum is a great place for:
- Getting things off your chest.
- Reading the stories of peers.
- Connecting with peers and responding to stories.
Read the stories of other people with an addiction and share your story.

I have a sex addiction (Story 1)
I have a sex addiction, quite severe, I need more and more extreme pictures to feel aroused.
Now I met a girl that I really like, but I notice that, because I am used to and need such extreme images, I find it hard to get aroused when I make love to her.
Does anybody have that too?
I used to be the same but found that the more I focused on how she makes me feel when we are not intimate and the quality time we spend together the more I feel we connect more when we are intimate.
Hope this helps
I have a game addiction (Story 2)
I am addicted to games. I am gaming everyday and I cannot (and actually also want not) do without anymore.
I often skip meals and I do not sleep so much. When soembody says something about it I get annoyed....
