A recovering porn addict, I am currently 200 days (7 months) clean. I've really begun to feel the difference in my life. I'm much more confident and focused at my job, my fiancee says that I have become a more compassionate and attentive partner. Our sex life has also improved in both frequency and satisfaction. But even with all this positive news, thoughts and urges to get back into my old habits creep back into my mind from time to time. The little voice in my head telling me how much I miss porn. But I try to remind myself of what I've accomplished, what my addiction did to me and those I love, and to remember the future I'm fighting for. I know these thoughts may never fully go away, but I refuse to let them beat me.
I have made so many embarrassing mistakes, and yet here I am beating back something that's held me back from being the man I know I can be. If I can overcome, anyone can.
