Testimonies of Internet Sex Addiction
|
 |
"Looking back, I am amazed by the immense amount of time and energy I put into my cybersex activity. It created emotional distance, frustration, and impatience in my relationships with my wife and children and took up work time and office resources. Eventually I was caught and nearly fired; I may yet be terminated for this. Staying up long past midnight nearly every night, usually getting only three to six hours of sleep, caused sleep deprivation, depression, and physical health consequences. My sex life with my wife became practically nonexistent, and I watched her blame herself for this. Money we didn’t have was spent on pay-per-view porn sites and digital video camera computer equipment to access and engage in live online sex acts. I even bought gifts for some online sex partners whom I had never even met. My teenage son found my porn stash one day on the computer and began "collecting" it for himself.... If I lose my job over this addiction, the impact will be major -- possible loss of our home, ruined finances, emotional turmoil in the family and possible divorce. Yet I still think about getting back online all the time."
