Look at my counter... I recall the last day that I used porn... I remember thinking (two days before my 4th child was born) that I will never look at porn again..
Sad to say, that since the time I quit using porn. I have simply replaced one addiction for another.
Not long after quitting porn, I found the casual encounters section of craigslist and began acting out with people instead of porn.
As a result of my addiction to sex/porn my life became completely consumed by acting out sexually behind my wife/family's back. She didn't know at the time (although I'm sure she felt it) and as a result, my marriage has ended. She asked me to leave the house January 4th and I haven't been back since. The divorce is in the final stages and I'm in an established routine with our four children in my new rented home.
So yes, I have quit porn for a LOOOONG time (and will never go back), but I'm now fighting the battle of sex addiction and I'm facing it head on. My point in all this is We are addicts.. and addiction is a brain disease that will continue to fight you as your thought processes and patterns are infected by the disease.
One day at a time is all we can control...
Time to put the pieces of my life back together..
