ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on some of the key ways in which we can break our sex addiction cycle. The addiction cycle is particularly problematic for those who are addicted to internet pornography, because the time factors are so quick that there is almost no time for reflection, and the transition from normal discomfort to sexual oblivion is virtually instantaneous. If we are addicted to internet pornography, it is important to have a blocker on our system. The chapter presents an example of a patient who successfully broke his cycle of internet pornography addiction, and also a couple of examples of men who have been in treatment at clinic and who managed to put in place successful exit strategies and break their cycles of sexual addiction. Recovery groups often provide a good way of managing unbearable feeling states. In every group, there are two or three men who act out sexually on loneliness.
