Hey everyone, I'm new to this website. I had a good support community for a long time, but it fell apart and I need help. I've been addicted to porn since before I can remember, and to masturbation since I was about 13. I lied to my wonderful wife before we got married, got caught, got sober, relapsed, lied a bunch more, finally fessed up, got sober, relapsed. I've been working on getting sober again for a while, but I think I'm white-knuckling at best. I hate living this way, I hate hurting the woman I love, and I know enough about addiction to know I can't do it alone. So I'm here because I need friends. I look forward to meeting you guys. D
Welcome to NoFap, i suggest to join on a challenge of the site, IN THE LORD OF THE RINGS CHALLENGE it is a good one to start , we support each other as a fellowship.
Welcome, thanks for sharing your story.. So.. Your wife actually knows about your addiction.. that's good..I think next step is get professional help! That gonna save your marriage and life.. You need to look for a psychologist who treats addictions and PMO and start therapy ASAP The only way therapy could work is if you're sincere. Don't hide anything from your wife and psycho. After 18 years trying to stay sober and relapsing and hidding this addiction from my beloved ones taking therapy was the only way I made this almost 300 days streak! There's a long way ahead but also a lot of hope! One day at a time!
Thanks, MexFighter. I saw a therapist for about a year and a half, learned some interesting things, but I recently moved to a different state and haven't been able to find the right person yet. I'm still looking.
