Trauma Turned Addiction
I've been sexually abused most of my life starting at the age of 7. I thought I was over it all but I've realized I've never actually dealt with it and it's the reason for my addiction to sex or emotional connection or both.
i risk my 6 year long relationship with the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. I've tried to hard to remain "sober" but I just keep finding new partners. The thing is, I don't care for the other people. I only care about my partner. I just want to stop. It's tearing me apart but it feels like no matter what I do, I can't stop.

Knowing that it is a problem is a good first step. Realizing how it can hurt your life or the people in it sounds like you really do want to change the behavior. It seems like counselling would be a big help to you.

Its the thing I want most in the world. I've contacted an addiction counselor today and got an appointment for Wednesday
