I'm here to tell you, functional addiction is only temporary. You can only do something that difficult for so long until you start to slip or your tolerance gets to a ridiculous point before your a non-functional addict. I've been a functional addict for almost 13 yrs and now a lot of it is catching ...

Thank you for the insight. I'm really trying to figure this out. It would be great to have no sex drive. I should have none, there's nothing left to take.
