Good morning/At Whit's End

Welcome! See the link at the end of this comment.

 

Welcome Matt. I am glad you signed up. I have been battling porn addiction for about six months without much substantial success. My (now ex) girlfriend suggested I might have problem and brought the issue to my attention. We were waiting for marriage to have sex, and she had a zero-tolerance policy about porn. I've been using porn since about age 10 and lost my virginity at 13; I criticized her sharply and thought she was out of her mind, and insisted that I needed and deserved some sort of release. A few weeks later, I realized I'd given up a healthy, happy relationship with the woman of my dreams in favor of countless lonely hours in front of my laptop in a darkened room. Insanity. I suffer from other addictions, and recognized my addictive tendencies and behaviors manifesting in my porn use (and even in my sexual relations throughout my life). I started reading about these issues and even attended a couple support groups and retreats, but its been difficult to find a group that resonates and produces long-term results.

I'm so grateful for this website and network. I found Nofap quite by accident, while looking up porn on the verge of a relapse after a week or so clean. I chose instead to read up about the effects of porn and started reading success stories. The next day I signed up.

God bless you for going nearly a year on your own! I could not do that. But this site has provided some very useful and powerful tools to resist PMO. Drop me a line any time, this works much better when we're helping one another, and I know our prayers will not go unheard! Peace be with you, brother, you're in the right place.

 

Great！！

 

Drop me a line anytime, I'll be checking in here regularly weekend as I head for my first 7 days porn free in years. You'll be helping me bro!

 

Hi again, I'm still trying to figure out this site works a nd build a support group. There seem to be hundreds if not thousands of people on this site so maybe we can stay in touch n help each other at least temporarily. I know is important I have a group/sponsor/accountability partner. Animo

 

Just read your post and I agree we need to help each other otherwise it's curtains. Stay strong.

 

Every decision, no matter how small, no matter whether anybody else ever knows that you chose to look away from that ad instead of looking at it, it all makes a difference and it's all investing in your family.
