    Hi All,
    I've been a sex addict for probably 13 years now. It started when my parents were divorced when I was 12. I lived with my dad and brother and had hours of alone time as my dad was constantly at work. During this time I developed porn addiction, and masturbation addiction and used them to cope with my parents divorce, school stress, and a host of other anxieties. I'm ready to reboot, get over these problems and defeat these habits. Thanks for welcoming me into your community.

    It's great that you are here. Good job!

    I can relate to your post . My parents went through separation and divorce throughout my teen years. Home life was not comforting but pornography became the escape route. It was way too easy to escape pain and despair in family life by finding images that gave me a dopamine kick.
    Thank God you are catching this now. You will save yourself decades of pain by standing strong. It is very possible to kick this addiction but you have to be disciplined in your approach. Highly determined. I am hitting 100 days no PMO today and I have seen changes in my brain, in my wants and needs - that I would have not thought possible 100 days ago. But I had to maintain focus. One of the things that helps is making a list of what you have lost in the past 13 years, the way that your life has become unmanageable. We often compartmentalize our losses, but when you put it down as one statement, it becomes reality. This helps to realize that you can't afford to go down this road anymore. This is a great first step.

    Again - WELCOME!!

    PEACE
