I want to change my life

Hi everyone. I'm 34. I have a wonderful wife and 3 year old daughter. And I'm addicted to porn - big time. I have finally come to admit it, and I'm tired of being bound by it. I'm hoping you can help me, and some how, that I can help you.

I'm turned on my computer tonight with the full intention of fapping. I'm stumbled on this site months ago and decided to check it out again before I caved. Now it is clear to me more than ever: my life will be better without PMO. I've been doing it since I can remember, even before high speed internet. I never feel good about it, yet I want to do it more. It is controlling me, and enough is enough.

I know that abstaining from PMO will:

1. Make me a better husband.
2. Make me a better dad.
3. Make me a better employee.
4. Make me a better Christian.

I'm not sure where to start, but I think this is only the beginning. I hope that we can inspire each other along the way. This is my Day 1.
 
Welcome and its great you found your way here. Take it from me (46 yr old with 30+ years of PMO), stopping once and for all now will save you years of wasted time and missed moments of your life with your wife and daughter. My advice is keep journaling as you go through this process, come to this site often and dont isolate, and have backup plans of things you can do when feel the urge. In the heat of the moment so to speak, its hard to think of things so having them ready (like that list your wrote above in your wallet to look at) or other activities you can do. you can do this! Let me know if need any support. :)

Thank you for the support and excellent advice. I am trying to get better about journaling in general, but this is a great reason to be consistent. I definitely will use this site as a frequent assist. I can't wait to see how I progress in a day, a month, a year, and a decade! I'd love to connect with you in those tough times - thank you for the offer.
 
my pleasure! im only 2 weeks in, but im taking it each day at time and not thinking any further than that. Its good to get excited about changing your life in such a huge way. Congrats!
