You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.
Sexual addiction/compulsivity is not always a standalone issue. In fact, most of the time it’s not. A significant percentage of sex addicts also deal with cross and/or co-occurring addictions. Individuals who are cross-addicted switch from one addiction to another, whereas people with co-occurring addictions deal with multiple addictions simultaneously. Typically, cross and co-addicted people move seamlessly from one substance to another, from one behavior to another, and even from substances to behaviors and behaviors to substances.
