This came in the form of needing professional success and sexual approval from women and resulted in him cheating on every partner he\u2019s ever had, bar his current girlfriend. \u201cIt\u2019s such a powerful drug, and I got hooked on it for 20 more years,\u201d he said, while adding that since 2016, he has been in recovery for sex addiction."}
