four years sober dont mean the hunger goes away. just means u learn to manage it different. used to feed every craving instant. heroin. sex. whatever filled the hole. now i think bout things more careful.
saw this worker last week. sarah. polish girl works out east london. she knows my history. doesnt judge. thats important. some workers get weird when u tell em ur past. not her. she listens.
we talked more than fucked first session. thats healing too. recovery aint just stopping drugs. its rebuilding connections. human touch. intimacy without shame. sarah gets that. professional but not cold.
my old addiction brain wants everything raw and instant. recovery teaches patience. slow down. check yr motivations. why am i here. what am i really seeking. connection more than just physical release.
some recovery folks say any sex work contact is relapse. bullshit. for me this is harm reduction. controlled environment. safer than my old chaotic life. safer for me. safer for worker.
desire dont disappear just cos u get clean. u just learn to handle it different. smarter. more human.
