Hello, Chantal! I'm sorry you haven't received a response yet - Buddies don't get to pass up on your thread just because it's located in the WWSD forum. In fact, we should ALL be making sure that our fellow staff members receive responses!

Hang in there. Addictions aren't beat overnight. It's a continuous effort/struggle to overcome an addiction. Recognize that the urge to give in is probably being triggered by all the stress you're experiencing right now - so if you can do anything about that, the urge may be easier to manage.

I'm glad you'll be starting therapy again in several weeks. In the meantime, can you find a SLAA (Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous) group in your area? Having other people who can relate and help support you during this difficult time could go a long way.
