Thanks for sharing @Jlied
You said it, a gateway. Gateway to hell.
But I like this "I feel like porn recovery is like the Dunning-Kruger Effect in that the more you learn about yourself and recovery or triggers the more you realize just how little you actually understood."
I realised if I drink I am compulsive for the next few days and that doesn't work when you're fighting a compulsion.
I prefer my sober life. A walk on the beach with friends means more to me than talking shite in a pub and sipping pints while everyone else gets wasted.
They'll be in the same bar in six, seven years time celebrating a cascade of 50th birthday parties, I will be a multiple ironman, and that is a fact.
