    I’ve been regularly viewing porn for many years without it causing problems. A few years ago I moved somewhere where I am much more isolated. Around a year ago my dog passed away leaving me feeling very alone. I have found I have been viewing porn much more often and for longer amounts of time each session. I mostly use sites that allow interaction of some kind and I think a lot of this change of habits has come from loneliness. It has been taking up more of my time and money than I would like. I went to stay with family a few weeks ago and usually the extra activity and lack of privacy would have kept me away from any porn but this time I found myself looking for excuses to be alone. That’s when I started thinking this might be a bigger problem. I have done short challenges in the past but never took it very seriously. Now I want to really commit to changing my patterns.

    Well done for reaching out to this site to help you find resolution.

    I'm so sorry for the loss of your four legged furry friend. I feel you. I've a cat, so i appreciate the value our furry friends have to offer us. Truly. I lost my little friend for 6 months last year and it devatsated me. How lucky we are to have found each other after all that time.

    But may i congratulate you on your level of self-awareness. It's such a gem in these struggling times. I'm also sorry that things have escalated to the point that you do feel like withdrawing after finally being around the people who might actually be one of the greatest sources of support and possibly change, that you actaully have.

    It reminds me of the broken ties with my own family (not that you have broken ties with yours), and how I do wishe for past days. Maybe it's not too late for you? Can you not see a way to turn things around?
