    Well, that's been a bit of a break...

    Just a quick note to say "Hello again!" It's not been a great few years; it's far too easy to drift back into old, poor habits, which I have done. Now I'm going to start again. Today is day 1... Let's see how far I get this time.

    Well, here goes - year 2 of this recovery

    Hi everyone, I posted about my background and my life in the run up to finding this forum and you guys, the community that make it so important. I've fallen off the absolute no PMO wagon. But I'm far less dependent on porn than in the past and this is the start of my re commitment to my...

    Guy looking for some advice from the female perspective

    Hi ladies. This is a really difficult topic for me, which is why this seems to be the perfect place to discuss it. I had a tremendous 3 1/2 year relationship with an amazing woman which ended in a pretty harsh fashion on her part some 5 or 6 years ago. We've kept in touch and still see each...

    Fascinating insight into the teen brain

    I just saw this - I've not had time to read it all, but I felt it tied in with so many aspects of the topics we find ourselves discussing here. http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/iceland-teen-substance-abuse/8208214

    What IS normal?

    I posted a similar question a while ago, to a resounding silence! Maybe I didn't explain myself well enough, so I'm having another go. After 69 days of no P,M or O, I'm feeling less bound by my dependence on porn. With no partner, I don't know if my DE issues are improving - watch this space...

    Long term user - long term recovery?

    Sorry - another fact finding mission! Where else could I find so many others with experience of recovery from our common issues? I used porn of all types from around the age of 14 - so my habit and mental conditioning are based on 38 years of excessive masturbation. It's slightly...

    What is normal?

    Hi everyone. I've been on a hard reboot programme for around 50 days, which has caused a few issues - mainly insomnia and irritability. Living alone, I have had plenty of time to think through my relationships with both porn and the real world. I've also had plenty of time to toughen my...

    Millenials and social pressures

    Hi guys and girls. I wasn't sure where to post this link. I received it via Facebook and found it fascinating. It also touches on the whole dopamine dependency that we learn about here. I hope no one minds me putting it here - it relates closely to your generation...

    What is an addiction?

    I've been porn free now for 20 days - certainly the longest time in my adult life - quite possibly the longest time since I first saw porn - nearly 40 years ago. With the benefit of non exposure, I have started to look at my relationship with pornography and why it's different for me than for...

    First big steps, but well needed

    Ok - trying to keep a journal of my progress to a p-free life. I was really unaware of having a problem with porn, either on line or in print and video form until I heard an article on PIED on the radio, when a light came on and I realised they were talking about me. I rang the radio station...

    Hello!

    Hi everyone. I'm a new arrival on the forum, having never heard of it until I heard a radio article on BBC Radio5 Live a fortnight ago about PRED (if that's the right acronym - don't forget this is a whole new world for me!) I'm not sure about which end of my journey to this point is the best...
