Quitting Sex Addiction.

Understanding compulsive sexual behaviour as a dopamine-driven cycle. How tolerance builds through escalation. Why willpower fails — the behaviour is wired into reward circuitry.

Hiding is not a side effect — it's part of the addiction. The separate phone, the browser history, the hidden transactions, the alibis. Dismantling the secrecy infrastructure is a first concrete step.

Unlike smoking, there is no over-the-counter fix. The evidence-based treatment is therapy with a trained professional. CSAT, CBT, ACT, 12-step programs, and honest guidance on when DIY is enough and when to escalate.

Whether, when, and how to tell a partner. Not prescriptive — options and consequences, not a script. Professional guidance strongly recommended. The decision is yours, made with support, not a field manual's instruction.

What changes at 90 days. The dopamine baseline reset. The identity shift. What doesn't fix itself. Maintenance, vigilance, and relapse as data. Crisis resources.
