    I'm 34, Married 14 years next month, 2 Amazing boys 10 & 12. I understand this org is not based on any religion, preference, etc. However, my identity is in Christ so wanted to share that as well. I am a Christian and my wife and I have served in various parts of ministry since we were teens. Worship, Youth, Small Group, Etc. Of course, with that comes shame that I put on myself for struggling with porn. I believe I am forgiven by grace, but I have a hard time with my shame. I have thought countless times, I finally beat this thing! I'd go months and months on a purge then have binge. Yesterday and today was that binge and I am not looking to make that into a whole weekend bender.

    I am not sure what I am going to do next, but at least wanted to start by sharing somewhere that I had relapsed.

    Here are of the things I have read, tried, done, etc.

    Books:

    Every Man’s Battle
    Every Man God’s Man
    Surfing for God
    Lust free in 31 days
    Not even a hint
    How to slay the dragon of lust
    Finally Free
    Worthy of Her Trust
    Breaking the Cycle
    Clean


    Program, Videos, Other:

    Fortify
    Pure Desire Podcast
    Countless youtube videos
    Setting Captives Free Program and Podcast
    Breaking Free Virtual Summit



    So as you can see, I’ve been battling for a long time and trying a lot of things. Any encouragement is greatly appreciate.

    Also, help me around this site. What should I do here next? Are there any free accountability groups?

    Also, if you are living in freedom, what has worked for you?

    Thanks!

    Welcome to nofap!

    My suggestions:
    * Wear briefs (not boxerbriefs) instead of boxers. This keeps everything secure, and not flopping around where you can be tempted/distracted.
    * Keep a schedule for your day and don't have unstructured time where you can be distracted/tempted. Make sure you're reading, or going for a walk, or talking to a friend, or getting some work done, and not just lazing around.
