Seeking a solution to restore marriage damaged because of addiction

Hello.

I am a porn addict. Though I have admitted this to myself before, this is the first time I have shared it with anyone.

I have been watching and using porn as my escape from reality and social situations since I hit puberty. I did not even consider it an addiction until I had tried numerous times (on my own) to stop and ended up reverting to old habits.

I did not know the harmful effects of constant porn watching and masturbating to it until I learned about it causing erectile dysfunction which I am now experiencing in my relationship I believe due to this addiction.

I am a few years into my marriage and I cannot count the number of times I have used porn to orgasm as opposed to having sexual relations with my partner. I learned about NoFap through a Goolge search for forums that deal with addictions and porn addiction specifically.

With the support on this site I hope to finally overcome this struggle and save my marriage as my wife would like to get pregnant and with my porn induced erectile dysfunction that is impossible. I crave your support and help as I try to reboot. I have also looked into actual meet groups as I am serious about kicking this addiction. I will be relocation to Toronto, Ontario shortly so any advice about where to go is welcome.

 

Thank you. I am making a real effort this time to be a better, healthier me. Plus in a few months I will be packing up my life to relocate to a new area. Looking for a fresh start and clean slate to accompany that move; letting go of old baggage and habits.
