    Tried to kick my addiction to masturbation since I started, about 15 years ago. I've never made significant progress in all that time. Not too long since starting to masturbate I was introduced to porn, which didn't help things. I've always felt ashamed about it. My record in all that time is about 10 days. I'm currently at about 24 hours, which is pretty good for me.

    As a Christian man, this weighs heavy on my heart. I don't want to stay in this cycle of porn, masturbate, orgasm, shame. I know I can do better and God wants me to. I'm not excusing what I've done, but I've used it to escape from painful things in my past. Masturbation helps me escape from that temporarily, then deepens my shame.

    Recently I've found that music helps me, in addition to making sure I get adequate rest. These seem to be big factors for me personally and I look forward to making more progress ahead for a new start in life.

    Good luck with your journey.

    If it is an escape that you need then consider another hobby that can be used to take your mind away from it. Not only will having regular time dedicated to another goal ideally it should be one that you can pick up at a moments notice should your resolve begin to waiver.
