1. Make a monthly budget of how much you are willing and can afford to spend and stick to it.
3. Set strong ground rules for what kind of activities and risks you are and are not willing to take and STICK TO THEM. Most providers will do anything if the price is right, especially if they really need the money. If you can't put on the breaks, they won't but you will be the one that pays if there is a crash!
2. DO NOT STOP DATING CIVILIANS OR HAVING SEX WITH NON-PROVIDERS! If you keep dating you will keep taking care of yourself and won't come to depend on this hobby as your only worse of sex and female company.
3. Check in on yourself on a weekly basis. How do you feel after a session? Are you still having fun with hobbying? Have you started to obssess? What else makes you happy and how often do you do those things compared to hobbying? How is your outlook on life in general?
4. Take a month break from hobbying whenever you feel things are going too far (you spent too much money or think about it to much) or at very least take a month break every two months to focus on the other things in your life, the civilians you are dating, your hobbies etc.
5. Once a year, decide on something big that you want to save up for. A vacation (hobbying vacations are awesome!), home theater, motor cycle etc. and budget for it by reducing your monthly hobbying.
6. Submit reviews on this site! We're all in this together!
Have fun, stay safe and get out if you need to!
