I know what you mean . . . even if you do have a close friend, it's hard to come up to a friend and say, "hey, can you help me overcome my sex addiction problem"?
Other than my family, I'm socially a bit of a loner. When I was at the height of a masturbation/pornography issue, my bishop advised me to talk to my elders' quorum president--a great guy who proved to be of enormous assistance. Maybe you should ask your bishop if he could recommend someone in the ward for you to approach for help--a member of your Relief Society presidency, perhaps?
By the way, I think it's
awesome that you took the initiative and approached a priesthood leader about this. I don't want to sound Pollyanna-ish, but I strongly suspect you're in better shape than you think you are.
