HI, I am i new to this site. After several years and several failed relationships i found myself entering " sex addiction "into wikipedia and in turn found my self on this site. Aftyer going over the self diagnosis section i found myself answeringyes to almost all of it. I have to admit i am sceptical about wether this would help or not or wether its is just grief that droive me here. Since breaking from my most recent girlfriend i have found myself displaying many traits of an "addict" obsession, mastubation, depression.  i dont know if i am addicted to sex, relationships, or just her. I used to have quite a drug problem and i know that i replaced the drugs with love. I stayed off them for her and became addicted to her instead. now shes gone i have found my self on the verge of relapse. ive managed not to touch class a's and have stopped drinking, buit without these distractions i cant sleep so im now addicted to sleeping pills. i find my self thinking about her and who she is with now constantly, its like a noise that i cant get rid of out of my head. I am currently outside of the u.k , i quit my job and upped out of the u.k all because of her. i wanted to go somewhere new where i could meet new partners. but in doing so have isolated myself and when i go out soicialising most people are getting drunk and i find myself only wanting to talk to people that i have a sexual intrest in. I know this is wrong and rerally want to do somtrhing about it. i dont feel like a propper person because i am driven totally by my base impluses. I loved my ex but since she has been gone i have found myself missing the sex more than anything and fantasising about it relentlessly. we had a very physical relationship and it ended largely because we were abbout to spend 5 months apart. i knew she was leaving and had already in my head started to plan how i would get my fix whilst she was gone. Im so ashamed of the way i think and really want to change it. any help would be greatly apprieciated.
