Your first experiences with resignation may not be overtly sexual. Instead, they come in the form of a third drink, binge watching your favorite shows, and gradually falling behind at work.

Within a study of 932 people struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, 42 percent reported chemical dependency, and 38 percent reported an eating disorder.[2]
