    When I was about ten or eleven years old, I went to a sleepover at a friends house. He was a close friend of mine. That night, he showed me some porn. They were static images of nude women. At first, I was embarrassed. I had heard what porn was, but I had never seen it before that night. It was a confusing experience. We both laughed about it, and we never looked at porn together again.

    For a long time, I wished there had been someone else there. I wished that there had been someone there who would have told me about what porn can do to your life. I wished that there was someone to tell me not to look at it again, and to demonstrate to me that it's not worth it. I wished someone had warned me that I would become a slave to porn if I kept looking at it.

    I used to have those wishes, until I reached 40 days without porn. Now that I've made it this far, I realized that I don't have to wish for that anymore. My wish has already come true. I AM the person there telling me what porn can do to my life. I AM the person telling me not to look at it again. I HAVE demonstrated to myself that porn is not worth my time. I HAVE realized that I was a slave to porn and that now, I am free.

    I am free from porn. It is one of the best feelings ever. I can't wait to enjoy a lifetime of freedom from porn. I know I still have many days of recovery ahead of me, and that there will be more challenges down the line. However, I have had a taste of what freedom from porn really feels like and I don't want to go back. I believe now more than ever that I will make it to 90 days and beyond. Porn will not be a part of my life anymore.

    I appreciate all the responses! Remember: quitting porn is not a sacrifice, it's a gift. When you quit porn, you give yourself a second chance to live a healthy life. You give yourself the gift of freedom.
