How To Overcome Sex Addiction

Part Three

1
Get rid of your trigger items. If you are surrounded by
items that remind you of sex, it will be harder to quit.
Dispose of or recycle pornographic magazines, pictures,
videos, and anything else that puts you at risk of
backsliding. Delete porn from your computer, and clear
your history of sites you formerly visited. Consider
installing software that blocks pornography sites.
2
Stay away from people and places that trigger addictive
behavior. Avoid the places where you have sought
harmful sexual encounters in the past. Stay away from red
light districts and do not visit sex shops. If your friends want
to go out in these areas, ask them to go somewhere else
with you.
Certain situations might trigger addictive behavior. For
example, maybe you have one-night stands when you
travel for work. Figure out a way to prevent yourself
from doing this. Travel with a colleague or try to stay
with a platonic friend instead of alone at a hotel.
3
Remove contact information of sexual partners. Delete
numbers and names of former sexual partners from your
phone, computer, and any other devices. Having a list of
people willing to have sex could be tempting when you
crave sex. Notify regular partners that you will no longer be
seeking relations with them. Be sensitive to their feelings
but do not waver in your commitment to stop.
You of course can retain the information of your
committed partner or spouse.
