    Cam Girl Addiction: From Financially Savvy to Buried in Debt

    This is a beautiful result and, just as important, an excellent process. If you can keep this up, you'll be in great shape.

    Cam Girl Addiction: From Financially Savvy to Buried in Debt

    This sounds like good inspiration for a mantra. Something you can tell yourself when you're feeling an urge. "Cam girls are here to take my money, period." I've been using a mantra to get over my porn addiction, and it works. Gets myself out of the urge.

    Can you put a porn blocker on your computer or router?

    Great job, FittyBands. Have you been able to determine what makes a good day or a bad day? What are the stress factors that make you want to go spend money there?

    Are you familiar with the concept of "playing the tape"? It means that when you feel the urge to do something like that, try to imagine what you'll feel like afterwards. Probably not too good. Then on the other hand, try to imagine what it will feel like later if you *don't* succumb to the urge...

    I feel you. I know that urge very well. If you're able to, I might try journaling in those moments. Just write down what you're feeling. Try putting it into words. I have a Recovery Journal that I write in multiple times a day. It helps to distract me.

    Good job on avoiding that rabbit hole. Are you able to utilize any of the distractions we discussed? Prayer, push-ups, going outside, music?

    These all sound like good distractions, especially the praying and push-ups. Is it possible to do something outside when the urge comes? For me, getting far away from the computer and phone for a few minutes helps a lot.

    Thank you for sharing your story, FittyBands. What you wrote is an honest accounting of what has gone wrong in your life, and it's the first step to stopping it. I am new to this journey myself, but the one thing I have learned so far is that honesty - with yourself and with those you have hurt...

    First Time Here, Long Time Coming

    Day 10. Tough one today, not because I slipped or relapsed (I didn't), but because of something that happened with my wife. I have to understand the ripple effects of my years of lying to her about my porn use. She doesn't trust me or give me the benefit of the doubt right now, and I don't blame...
