Hey all, I'm brand new here, as of about 5 minutes ago. I'm a 28 year old male, and after 16 years of addiction to PMO, I picked up the fight against PMO and told my fiancé back in July 2019. I've gotten some accountability partners at my church, and set up the Covenant Eyes accountability software on all of my devices. I've been fighting now for about 8 months, and the longest I've lasted is about 4 weeks. I recently relapsed after 10 days clean. Just starting to feel a bit hopeless. Its day 0 for me. I want to beat this. My fiancé deserves the best of me, and I can't bring this addiction into my marriage. PMO has wrecked or perverted my mind, my relationship, and almost every aspect of my life. By the grace of God I am moving forward with my loving fiancé by my side, and a great group of Godly men at my church to lean on. I'm so thankful to have found this site and this community, though too. I feel like every bit of accountability and encouragement I can find will help me in this fight. I hope I can be of help here as well for anyone else struggling. Cheers, y'all. Be blessed.
Welcome to the community glad you are here, anything we can assist you with let us know, best of luck on your journey
Hi same here too ,you can do it bro , the highest I've gone is 4 months , I relapsed since February's,now I'm starting another journey , today , you will surely overcome I tell you
I am also new in this field. I was 13 when I started watching porn. From last year I understand and started doing various things which can help me but it didn't work for me. The longest streak is 47 days which i made 2 months back. It happens because after some research I came to know that how p*rn is made and due to people like us who don't get satisfied from normal p*rn, there are terms like EXTREME and VIOLENT which normal p*rnstars can't do, so for it sex trafficking is done. I came to know about problem like Erectile Dysfunction and Premature Ejaculation. Things like these things made me so determinant that I don't watch p*rn whatever the circumstances are there but I got trapped by Free p*rnhub premium membership. You are not alone, I know I am just 18 but if you want any help you can ask me.
Hi! Yeah it's a strong addiction, mainly because there's always access to the drug. I went over a year clean but got in a downward spiral. Hopefully this website will help. Welcome!
@Victorious Soldier That's such an awesome achievement man, congratulations. And thank you for the encouragement. Glad to be walking down this journey with you. Remember: you've gone 4 months before, you CAN do it again! -- @iamaddictedguy Brother, I can't tell you how wise of a decision you are making. This addiction has ravaged you for 5 years, but believe me, you are so much better off tackling it now than when I decided to after 16 years. Your longest streak obliterates mine - congratulations! And thank God for your heart; the fact that you feel conviction about the production process is massive. Good on you man. -- @Jiminy Cricket Dude. A YEAR?! Holy crap. Thats real #NoFapGoals right there man. You're so right though, porn is a highly addictive drug, like cocaine and heroine combined, and there's unlimited, free access to it. The odds are against us, but the decisions we've made to break free of the addiction will have ripple effects throughout the rest of our lives. We've got this!
It surely will , don't be downtrodden because you on a downward spiral , if you could do a year , bro you are going to be free on this.next journey
