One of the free programs I know of that might help you is [SLAA] (http://www.slaafws.org/) - Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous - in my experience it's mostly sex addicts who go not love addicts - including people with prostitute addictions. There is also SAA- Sex Addicts Anonymous, heard that it's good too or in combination. They're both based on the 12 steps and traditions of AA but with some differences and obviously no one is expected to give up sex for life. If you go, try to keep an open mind, check out different meetings not just one and "take what you like and leave the rest" - you don't have to like or agree with all of it to get a lot out of it over time plus you'll get to be with people who won't judge you and who will likely even understand or relate. Sex addicts I've encountered in my years have highly recommended the books of Patrick Carnes though I haven't read any myself. A book I have read that I thought was great, short and to the point is Escape From Intimacy. Good luck with your journey to sane living.
Suggested: Two books by Pia Mellody and one by Anne Wilson Schaef:
