Tim discusses his history of addictions moving from food to drugs to sex, hitting a low point that nearly cost him his relationship, and how Colin Quinn's advice helped him get sober and save his marriage.
- Tim says sex addiction was the worst of his cycle through food, drugs, and compulsive behavior.
- After getting sober from drugs, sex became an immediate compulsion—hunting it down constantly, checking hotel Yellow Pages for massage parlors.
- His wife gave him an ultimatum when the relationship nearly fell apart from his behavior.
- Colin Quinn's advice to try changing for a year saved his relationship and his life—the only good counsel among friends telling him to quit.
- Tim compares sex and food addiction: sex you can theoretically eliminate, but food is the worst because you can't get rid of it entirely and still survive.
- He jokes that he never got jerked off to El Pollo Loco at 11 p.m., but eating there is a separate problem.
