Hello everyone,
I am a young man of 30. I am from medical background. I have been doing good in my education and career and still struggling ahead. However, I have a dark story to share. It was 9 years back when I stumbled upon pornographic contents at my friend's house, and gradually I started watching porns followed by orgasm. In the middle, I realized that it was evolving into an addiction and harming me in one way or the other. But, I had already fallen into its trap. I tried and failed again and again. One of the major causes of relapse was presence of significant stress and workload (study pressure) during this time.

After many failures and sufferings, I was finally able to make 2 months dedicated for healing my brain and body from this pathological entity. I had tried abstinence several times ranging from a week to 2 months in the past but again relapsed multiple times into my old pattern. This time also at the end of 2 months, I was kind of engaged in mini-exposure (edging and imaginations); but I have realized that it is a main driving force towards relapse. So, I have stopped it completely. Now, I am in my 3rd month of recovery, and I am doing well. Today is my first day of 3rd month. Still I have many challenges. Study stress and work pressure are still there but I am constantly learning to adjust to them in an appropriate way.

This addiction is a very powerful negative energy. But, I believe our determination and positivity should overpower it. We cannot let it win. Life is beautiful. Our body and mind are very precious. Lets not mess up with them. Sexuality is a pure and pristine trait bestowed by God to living beings. I think it should be explored and used in the most appropriate, natural way. Watching and masturbating to videos and images is way too shameful, unnatural, paranormal, and worthless. Its just a chemical pleasure for a moment that have lasting consequences and demerits. It should be discouraged and eliminated from our society.

Lets work and pray together to gain victory over this enemy, to enlighten this darkness. Lets become aware and sensitized. MAY GOD BLESS US ALL!
 
Man, thank you for sharing. Our stories are very similar and I too have been trying to quit for a long time. Our age is the same, and our stressors are similar. I'm curious, since you still deal with stress from work (I know that never goes away), what changes in your life have you made to have such success over the last two months being clean? I'd love to hear what has worked for you, anything you can share, I'm all ears.

Congratulations!
