By the way, I did do a search before I started this thread to make sure it hadn't been done before but I didn't really find anything.

I've read lots about this as an addiction, and that surely might be the case but I find it hard to convince myself that a natural urge can be an addiction. I've looked a bit at the SAA but I'm not religious and I have absolutely no interest in giving anything up to a "higher power". I'm just looking for some advice on this.

The girl in the relationship that ended was a stunner. Not from this country and hotter than any escort I've ever visited. I hit it out of the park lucky with her and I can't imagine myself ever finding anyone like her again. That's what's put me in the situation I'm in. My standards have been blown out the window for the last few years.
