Yes.
One of the most insidious mental states to be in is the “recovering addict”— once you put that label on yourself and start counting the days of sobriety there is so much negative tension on the possibility of relapse it’s almost always going to happen.
Comes back worse.
Only real way is to be a completely different person.
You’re not recovering from anything: you used to be a person that drank a lot, now you’re not.
Not a big deal, even if you have a bit of wine one evening there’s no “streak” you’re ending. You don’t count the days anymore.
You’re not worried people around you are drinking. No stress. Won’t have one because it’s not really your thing.
Only get there when you’re utterly sick of it. Has to shape you into a completely different person.
Addictive drive must be put into something else.
Trump is now doing a decade worth of revoked visas per year. It's not good enough, and we need to revoke 3-6 million visas per year, but you need to realize how far we've come under President Trump. Trump has at least stabilized the American Empire that was in rapid decline.
Men should never allow themselves to even get into a position in which they have to ask for sex from their wife.
Once you experience rabid female attraction that ought to be the only thing you accept going forward.
It is better to go without sex for years than to ever accept pity pipe.
If you suggest it and she’s uncertain or begrudgingly agrees, just refuse.
It will not be worth it.
Have some dignity.
Attraction can never be negotiated by talking to “communicate” - it is entirely based on your identity.
Your wife lost attraction to you bc of how she currently perceives you, and she is entirely correct.
