I get it, @Donewiththis. There is so much of this struggle that is hard for anyone not going through it personally to understand, and for partners especially so because they have a whole other level of it that's easily seen as a personal affront to them or that they're recognizing their fears...

Stay strong @SimonM. None of the eye candy is worth the achievement of beating this. You can do it. You're doing amazing.

Thanks for sharing that with me, @Gracie. That is exactly what I've been doing, maybe not those exact words, but our latest discussion this is what I stressed. Whatever it will take, I will do. I've lost the luxury of using words to convince her because these are words she's heard before and...

Congrats on completing 3 weeks @SimonM. I've read through your whole journal now and there are a lots of similarities to my own situation and I'm sure many, many others on here. I'm looking forward to continuing to follow your journey, especially since you've got so much experience and on this...

Thank you @SimonM for the encouragement. It really is all about honesty. You'll see that even more in my post below if you choose to keep reading. I can't lose my vigilance, I won't lose my vigilance. We can all do this together! Day 6 (yesterday) I haven't been posting here daily, but I'm...

Day 4 (yesterday) I didn't get to post this yesterday as I was again buy with the family dropping my daughter off at camp for the next 2 weeks. After we dropped her off, my wife and I were able to go with friends of ours (and parents of my daughter's friend who is going to the same camp) to go...

Day 3 I was very busy with the family yesterday and wasn't able to post here, but I'm happy to say that so far, things have been a bit easier than I was expecting. I've really focused on trying to avoid specific triggers that are the usual times and places that I'd find myself looking at porn...

Wow. I just found all this yesterday and have just started my journey but just wanted to say reading through this journal has been so inspirational and motivating. This is the first time I've attempted this with this much hope and feeling like I can really do it this time. Congrats on all the...

Same story as you, man. Just starting today for the first time. It's scary but glad to have found this place where there's other people that are going through the same. Stay strong. I'm a couple weeks behind you and you're providing inspiration right now. We can do it!

I am 38 and have been using porn since puberty. I'm married (for nearly 10 years) and have children and overall have a pretty lucky and happy life. I think I've known on some level that something wasn't right for me behaviorally from a sexual nature since I got together with my wife. However...
