How Can I Help My Friend With a Sex Addiction?

Question by [email protected]: How can I help my friend with a sex addiction?
I have this friend who constantly obsesses over sex, nudity, pornography, etc. Pretty much anything to do with sex. He realizes he has a problem, which is good, but doesn’t really know how to solve it. He has gotten himself into trouble before by asking complete strangers to shower with him at a campsite. Also he has peeked inside a girls change room before. He is an adult now, and I’m afraid that if he doesn’t get this addiction under control, he could eventually get himself into legal trouble. What do I do?

Answer by ThirtyEightSnub
Education Requirements for a job as a substance abuse counselor depend on the hiring agency. Some counselors have a high school diploma and
certification while others have a bachelor’s degree or
master’s degree. Since some of the best substance
abuse counselors are those who have overcome addiction themselves, this is one of the few jobs
where a degree from the school of hard knocks can
outweigh university schooling. Counselors with more
education will be trusted with less immediate
supervision and licensed counselors can provide
one-on-one counseling.

How Have You (Or Someone You Know) Used Check Cashing or Similar Services to Sustain an Addictive Drug Habit?

Question by Cameron: How have you (or someone you know) used check cashing or similar services to sustain an addictive drug habit?
I’ve heard that people get hooked into Check Cashing/Loan Forwarding and this, co-mingled with serious drug addiction, enables an individual to feed their problems through monetary debt. Have you suffered from this vicious cycle? What happened, how did you get out of it? Or are you still in debt?
