Hey All,
I'm starting my journal here today. I had been on Porn Addiction Info on their forums but they are shutting down as of tomorrow 6/23. I have been in reboot mode since October but had a few set backs, one as recently as June 8 but have been PM free since then and feel great about it.
My story, much like others, goes back a bit but my real issue occurred about 10 years ago with the arrival of my first born. Not sure why but the stress of fatherhood started me down the daily PM path. It started out innocent enough but soon became a real problem. I would go a few days without but would always find my way back. It finally escalated back in October 2016 when it lead me to Craigslist and an encounter that went horribly wrong. Needless to say I opened up about everything to my SO a few days later and have been rebooting since. I attend SA calls on a regular basis and also see a therapist about every two weeks.
I'm here because I found keeping a journal to be therapeutic and really liked posting on PAI's boards. I'm looking forward to sharing stories and chiming in on others posts and generally looking for simple straightforward advice on how to stay free of the garbage that got me here in the first place. Thanks for reading.
