    Hi All,

    My name is Chris and im a 31. I've been masturbating every day since I was about 11. Over the years its become engrained in my life and I feel that it has taken over me. I even sneak off and masturbate during the day, pretending to be in the toilet. I have a gf who is amazing and after some reading i can see that our relationship problems are me. I definitely think i have an addiction to porn, i also end up in chat rooms swapping porn links with others. I feel like i have layers of guilt for doing that but also that i have this evil addiction that is affecting myself but also the person i love the most in the world.

    My goals are to stop masturbating all together and get away from porn, reboot my mind into somewhere better. I don't want to be ruled by this any more.

    CW,

    Here are some reommendations that have helped me and others. IF you do these things and get fully educated, it goes a log way to fighting the urges and building a great streak.

    1. Share your story - you've nailed this one already!
    2. Set up a porn blocker on your computer and all other devices.
    3. Get yourself an accountability partner on this site, and locally if you have a close friend you can safely confide in.
    4. Visit www.yourbrainonporn.com to understand the science of the addiction so you can battle it with wisdom.
    5. Watch The Ted talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSF82AwSDiU
    6. Read posts here daily and update your journal daily - you'll understand others' experiences and how they may relate to you and be immersed in ongoing communication that we'll be daily assets for you while also helping others.
    7. Set realistic goals and add a counter to help you and everyone see your progress - small steps seem very achievable and build confidence - large ones may make you feel like it is useless. I suggest picking one day past your longest streak to date, or less if the longest "seems" unachievable at present.
    8. Ask questions along the way - we're here to help each other. Nobody will judge you here - we're here for ourselves and one another.

    Welcome to the team! Let's fight the battle against PMO and make some progress together!
