Greetings all, I am new to this group and I just want to share my story here, I have not found anyone I can feel comfortable talking to about this:

My name is Jorge, I am 22, and I am a college student pursuing a Bachelor's of Science, and I have struggled with masturbation, pornography, and with watching and lusting over women over the internet since I was 12. I really want to end this and I am suffering a lot right now. This masturbation addiction has taken over me, and I sometimes succumb to my addiction for hours, and days at a time. I want this to end. Previously, I have been able to break free from this addiction by restricting my technology use during Lent, by attending powerful youth retreats and catholic-psychology groups. However, despite all this I still manage a way to fall again. I don't want to fall anymore. Masturbation breaks me away from my family, God, friends, strangers, schoolwork, and my own values. I want to end this now, and I pray to the Lord to please forgive me for lusting and watching other people degrade themselves over the internet. I also pray to help me be strong again. I have pulled away from the Lord so many times due to this addiction and I don't want to do that anymore. Thank you for reading.
