Good question. I have two goals towards recovery. First, I want to be moving in the right direction and things have gotten better for me over the last two years on nofap. I have twice moved past 30 days of sobriety. This is progress. But secondly, I want to continue on to the point that I will...

Yes, I was on the edge of falling into that trap myself. At least for me, when I start looking at cleavages or whatever it starts the dopemine going and I'm on my way to trouble. Best advise is to catch yourself early on and redirect before it gets to be too much.

Greetings Phil...I relate to you totally about leading the double life. Trying to look good on the outside but with the dirty secret on the inside. The more I've reached out to this forum and other places to get help and support, the more painful the relapses have been. But I take it as a sign...

Thanks for your comment. If you're new to this community, please look around. There's a lot of potential for support here, encouragement, and people that will challenge us to get off our butts and do something to get better. I too am a person of faith and my prayers and study are very important...

I agree. My mind tries to block out the reality of the pain, shame, and remorse I will feel afterwards. That's my addicted brain.

I'm up for this and committed to it! I've yet to make it through one of these but I hope to follow my plan this time. I need to make the right choice when the strong urge comes. I'm always aware of the opportunity to choose to get away from the place where I can use porn but often the thought is...

Yes, I agree. Just been 13 days for me but I feel much more alert and "with it." Able to do my job better and feel more confident interacting with people. To be honest, part of it has been that I am feeling guilty about having this secret of my porn addiction and not sharing it with anyone. I...

I'm in starting today for the month. I will start a daily journal, something new for me and add to it daily at the time the urge hits the most. Yes, hard mode. I have no expectations that its easy at all. I need all your help and encouragement and I need to stick with the program starting today.

I have relapsed after three days. I usually am too embarrassed to say it so then I really go off the deep end. I'm in this for the month so regardless I will continue on. Thanks for the inspiring comments!

I'm in for the month...starting a day late. Don't know what to expect. Haven't gone past 18 days this year BUT I will stay close to this group and do all I know with God's help. This is SO important that I succeed!

I'm with you on this...only 2 days and 18 is the farthest I've ever come but this is it. The consequences are too great for me to fall again. One day at a time!

I've been addicted to masturbation since I was a teenager and the whole thing just intensified about ten years ago when I discovered internet porn. I've tried web blocking software but there is always a way around it. I haven't told anyone about my issue for years and feel that personal...
