It is same for every addiction.The goal is to replace an addiction with a good habit.It's not easy but if you really want to stop being dependent on chat rooms then that's what you have to do.An addiction is there to fill a certain need(being lonely,sad,bored etc.) .If you just quit it and don't replace it with something positive it will eventually return and you will be stuck in a loop of relapses. If you want to quit start now and look for a habit that you wan't to build and just focus on those two things. Good luck.
I had that mentality sometimes to meet up with women, men, and trans. For me it was the pursue and the thrill of the chase and how far I could push it and take it. *TRIGGER WARNING* For me when I was using kik, I would look for local singles and guys, and almost every time it would come about to meet up with some guy one of us would back out the day of or an hour before etc. only one time I met up with a woman, and it was all based on lies from me. I told her I was single, that I worked at night, called in from work to meet up with her that day and met half (2 hour trip) to hook up at a hotel. Truth. Also the fact that you can be whoever you want anonymously. For years I posed as a woman and even made the rank of moderator in one chat room as a woman. same here, as a woman and as a man. I stayed logged in at work and my job suffered. I met people that I emailed with and would write elaborate emails to stay in contact and it was all lies. I had no other life for almost a year except the one I had from a chat site as a woman.
I consider sexting just like porn. The only exception would be in a genuine relationship where we're talking about stuff we might actually do.
I’d considered trying it a couple times, but avoided it by remembering I’d be talking to a guy. A greasy, sweaty one at that The allure, for me, is dissolved when I think about how the sausage is made.
