90 Days / Married 57 / Sexting Addict

Mr Nicole

Checking in as I’m now at 90 days clean. Married guy, 57, very much in love in my second marriage. Found myself slowly getting addicted to sexting - it started as a way to keep my brain focused on positive sexual experiences I had as a way to improve my sexual confidence and devolved into a dopamine trigger addiction that negatively affected my sex life.
Being married and rarely alone , quitting this habit was fairly easy as my alone time is minimal. I stopped texting, stopped writing amatuer erotica, stopped masturbation and had been away from porn for a decade. For me, this very sober path allowed me to keep all of my sexual expression within my relationship. The results have been impressive:
Free from guilt
Free and open in relationship with a secret I was hiding.
Open and able to engage in sexual positions I was inhibited to try.
Sex is now truly something shared with my wife.
A more light hearted view of my own sexuality- I can laugh off sexual imperfections.
ED has faded from the relationship- if it arises we simply laugh it off and recover.
I’m more accepting of my sexual imperfections which allows me to be more open.
Overall : happier, a better partner in the relationship and sexual relationship, and more able to now work on sexual techniques I had been afraid to try. I encourage everyone to aim for so sobriety here, and I look forward to the future rewards with continued abstinence.
Onward.
 
Congratulations! You’ve been here for almost a decade. It’s great to see you make the progress to change your life.
