Does it ever stop? It stops when you chose to stop it. You used the word addiction. Its a scary word, but Dr. Drew Pinsky says that addiction is the leading mental health problem facing America today, we always tend to associate the word with drug use, but if you really study addiction almost every person alive is addicted to something.
One night I was chatting online and a person was asking me the normal first time conversation battery of questions. eg. "what kind do you wear" "asl?" "wet or mess?" ect. and finaly they asked "How often do you use?" What struck me was the word USE. You normaly get asked, "How often do you WEAR?" but this person said "use". "Use" is a word that addicts use. And I came to realize this is an addiction, it alters my everyday normal thoughts, it changes my way of thinking, it changes my behavior, it takes up money. I hope some other people reading this can relate to what I'm saying, and even feel convicted. Seriously just do some research on sexual addiction, if you dare. Some people claim "its not a sexual thing" or "its a comfort thing", well thats fine but it doesn't make you any less addicted. I challenge every person to try to go a week without thinking about anything ab/dl related, nay a day! Maybe just make a mental not of how many times a day you think about it even. My personal results were alarming.
I finaly joined a sexual addiction recovery group and found others like myself. I have never been happier, and I have found TRUE ballance in my life. I no longer feel the need to scour the net looking for girls into ab/dl, I no longer feel the need always have diapers, I wear much less often if ever, I realize that my desires can be acted out in a healthy way with a partner who truely loves me, not some other ab/dl just looking for a self satisfying experience.
The shame is gone, the guilt is gone, the pain is gone. I am happy.
PS. I am open to criticism, comments, advice, giving advice. I know that not everyone will agree, and not everyone will be able to relate, this is just my 2 cents, I found what worked for me.
