    I'm a 38yo male that has struggled with consistently viewing porn for as long as I can remember. It has caused me many issues in my life including the breakdown of my marriage and other things of which I'm not yet comfortable to talk about, but maybe that will come one day.

    One of my biggest issues is boredom and loneliness and the way it seems like my brains first answer is "I could watch porn?" I've tried multiple times to give up, sometimes lasting weeks at a time, but since the pandemic hit I don't think I've gone more than 10 days at a time so that's my first target. I only found this site today so hopefully, I can find some support here that helps me keep saying no and finding a way to end my use of Porn.

    I am sorry to hear of the negative impact that porn viewing has had on your life. Try and have self-compassion, which is often more challenging than it should be. It may be helpful to look at the consequences / decisions you have made as an organic and natural consequence of long term porn use. Natural doesn't necessarily mean good. Just understandable, or organic, in terms of cause and effect. I think having a non-judgemental outlook is key. Don't beat yourself up - that can only waste valuable time that could be better spent on introspection and the cultivation of new habits. Anyways, welcome, and best of luck on your journey. You may find daily posting or journaling to be of benefit.
