Hey all. My name is Erik, and I finally realized I had a problem. I mean, since I'm here, you also know with what. Thing is, I didn't realize until today that it even WAS a problem. I'll put my discussion of what pushed me here under a spoiler tag, because I really don't want anyone to find a word or anything triggering, we're all here for the same reason. If you feel even the slightest chance of having a problem with reading this post, do NOT open the spoiler! Delete this if it is deemed to inappropriate. I just want to open up for real, sharing the gritty details. Spoiler: WARNING. POSSIBLE TRIGGERS A few days ago while browsing my usual neighborhoods, I came across a gif referencing the term 'goon'. I was confused, but the gif was hot. Lo and behold, I got mired in the most depraved shit I've ever experienced, and it felt GOOD. I LIKED it. Funny thing is, what got me off the most was the humiliation of my porn addiction. Good thing is, it made me realize I actually HAD an addiction. I was supposed to prep for a DnD session with my mates today, but wasted half the time with my newfound addiction. And when I finally sat down, I realize how apathetic and unmotivated I was. There was just no motivation. I then watched a truly wholesome movie, The Lego Movie 2, and realized again... I was thinking about porn while watching it. I mean it was a great movie, but I just couldn't focus. The final straw was just now, half an hour ago, as I was masturbating, one gif referenced this very site, making a snide remark of intentionally making people from here relapse. Well, half an hour later, I'd wiped 9000+ porn pics off my hard drive and scrubbed their traces as best I could, and sent a thank you message to the poster of that gif before cleaning my history. And now I'm here. Hope you'll have me. Now, in conclusion, it's not like I don't have any friends. I may not have many, but enough. I just planned a get-together with one of my best friends who I haven't seen in a while, and I set up a deviant art account to start sharing my art, hopefully getting more motivated to do so when I no longer make inappropriate stuff. I want to start getting in shape and I have a neck injury that I have been neglecting to properly care for. Not expecting it all to go along immediately, but they're goals. If there is anyone out there that read my spoiler and feels similar, I'd love to hear from you and share some of your experiences with the program and how it's worked. Good luck yall, stay strong and fight on.
