“I always say that it starts out as a choice and turns into an addiction. When I looked at the bank accounts, one of the things that was helpful was really seeing very clearly the addict pattern of the binge purge cycle. I really cannot put words to the feeling that you have when you look into your bank accounts and see how much money was spent on sexual gratification with other women. Within those two years, it was $100,000.”
