It's pretty much self explanatory. I pay a lot of money to watch cam girls. I recognize my need to stop, but yet most of the time I can't need advice on what to do.

You can call your credit card company to block any future payment to those sites.

Also, check in your area to see if there are any Sex Addicts Anonymous groups. You can check on there website. It's a 12-step group that helps many like you who are addicted to interenet porn. It was a livesaver for me. Good luck to you.

I got that way also, spent a fortune. I actually developed a relationship or two and go deeper into trouble. Until I woke up and realised that they are just using me, as I am using them. I managed to kick it by facing the reality of what a waste of money it was and that there really was NO relationship, no empathy, no reality to it. So I crawled back to free porn. Still an addiction I have to fight, but at least I don't pay and also I am not investing my emotions wastefully.

It really depends on how serious you are about wanting to end your addiction.
I have learned a lot on other, problem specific forums. no-porn.com is one I would recommend, if, you are really serious about recovery. best, |

Reading through these other posts gives me some hope. I have been using webcam sex chat for nearly a decade. It started out of boredom, really. I was bouncing between girlfriends in college and wasn't looking to do anything destructive. I saw prices of $1.99 or $2.99 a minute and thought "Oh, this cheap and I won't go broke doing it". I was dead wrong. Over the last 9-10 years, I have probably spent close to $25,000 on webcam sex chats.
Initially, I was looking to get off. Whenever I was bored, home alone, frustrated with college or work, I'd just hop online for a while and feel better. But over the years, I started logging on without any intention of masturbating. I think I just wanted to find a good looking girl and be in control. I met my wife 6 years ago. The usage slowed down for a while, but when she got a teaching job out of town for 2 years, I was on more than I ever had before. I was blowing through credit cards. I had 2 checking accounts open that I rotated payments with. I started acting disinterested in going out so I could be home alone and go on and chat again. Once we were married, my wife found credit card payments that she wasn't aware of. Eventually, I had to come clean about what I was doing. She was very upset, but supportive. I insisted that I would stop and that I had no issues closing the accounts. And the accounts were closed ... for roughly 2-3 months. Once I got a new job and started making a real living, I felt comfortable going back on. I even went as far as opening my own private checking account (not linked with our joint checking) and a separate credit card to pay for webcam sex chats. I was going above and beyond for an addiction and it was killing our marriage. My wife and I started to struggle with intimacy. We started to argue more. I avoided leaving the house on weekends because I felt more pleasure going online rather than spending time with her or friends. Recently, my wife once again saw a statement in my office for payments on the same sites. We came to an agreement that I would go to a counselor to discuss and attempt to halt my addiction. I have been seeing a counselor for nearly 2 months and I am beginning to feel more in control of my life. Not to mention the intimacy with my wife has skyrocketed. To anyone dealing with this addiction, or to anyone who thinks it's okay to go onto these sites regularly, remember, this isn't just about you. If you have the time, money and effort to go on these sites, it likely means you're ignoring someone or something else in your life. I strongly suggest seeing a counselor, pastor, therapist, or whomever is willing to listen and help. These sites are damaging. The girls are there to USE you and take your money. They have no interest in you other than your money. Take control and beat the addiction. I will continue to see a counselor and will continue being as honest as possible with my wife. I hope my (abbreviated) story of dealing with this addiction helps you realize that addictions can be beat. You need to surround yourself with good people and always have someone you can talk to. |
