I'm finally taking this struggle serious...

Hello gents,

My name is Frank and I'm here in hopes of taking this fight seriously. I first got into porn at 12 years old and it took a hold of me. I'm very shy and not outgoing and this has allowed myself to dig myself deeper into a hole. Growing up with an abusive father who took advantage of my mother who eventually left him, being sexually molested as a teenager, serving 4 years in the Corps, a divorce after 9 years of marriage due to to my selfishness, and hitting rock bottom after it all. I find myself in a place that grows darker due to my unwillingness to break through. I recently started going to the VA for psychiatric help. I started to have withdrawal and anger issues. Mainly with my father, my guilt of a failed marriage, and failures. I don't feel the sessions are helping and he shrugged it off when I mentioned this struggle. I fell hard into alcohol and drugs after my separation and since I've been sober this has been an escape. I'm here to hopefully end this one and for all. I've held it off before but always fall back, I want to take this on. I want to be free....

 

Thank you guys for having a community where anyone can come seeking freedom. Thanks for the warm welcome!

 

Thanks man, for the encouraging words. There's a lot of people who agree with you, but the darkness inside keeps convincing me otherwise. I want to be the best version of me for my kids. I want to be everything my father fell short of being. Good luck with your journey man, I've gone a good while also. Don't recall how long but it was a good chunk. I want to finally face this thing head on. Good thing is we're giving hell a run for its money....
