Good Luck IFUCare.. I am beginning the trip down the same road you are on, will I stay on it? Probably not, my lack of will power and my addictions to all "immoral" things is just to strong, really the only thing holding me back from banging every SP in the lower mainland is a finacial problem not a mental or moral problem. However the emptyness and lonelyness you feel after a session is a very common occorance for me as well, it is the same as the rush I feel before I go in the casino, thinking about winning my millions and which Sp I will be spending it on, and the down I feel when I leave 400-500 hundred less in an hour.. All addictions have rushs and downers.. be it drugs, booze, sex, gambling, smoking, McDonald's, coffee.. whatever, The trick is to balance it all out with some great "real" relationships - be it with a SO, friends, parents whatever, after all I think that we are all just looking for the connection with someone or something that makes us feel 10 feet tall and bulletproof 24/7. The reality is... I am not sure cause I am still lookin.. nuff of my ramblin... Be true to yourself, don't surpress urges (unless you are a pedophile or psycho killer),everything in moderation and Keep on Keepin on my brotha!
