Having not done it for a week it would feel so much better thereby making me wait a week and then feel the heightened feelings. So I made it my bottom line to not do it compulsively. That means that once a day max.
I find that addictions are like the whack the mole game at chuck e cheese's. You whack one addiction down and then another pops up. For me I almost feeling that I need to just accept the least damaging addiction and fight the others. Who knows.
Love and hugs,

Tara 992,
You are so close to disccovering the wonderful you, but you need help in discovering who that person really is. Accepting masturbation as a lesser of two evils never got me anywhere. It only drove me deeper into it until I did not even love myself anymore. Love begins at home. It is not an easy addiction to overcome, but when you do overcome it you will realize how FREE you have become.
