9 years, 21 years old,
it has been about 9 years for myself as for the amount of time i have used internet porn. I know its not as long as some others, but i also feel it's been easy for me so far. It has been a record setting 5 days since i have used and i'm still going strong! I have tried many times to stop using but for some reason i always went back because i just flat out enjoyed it. It's like i no longer had a burden on my heart. After an argument with my fiance my heart changed. I had been feeling like i was not good enough for her because of how the girls reacted in all the videos. It got pretty bad with having low self esteem, minor depression, and anxiety. I needed change and i believe my loving God stepped in for me this time to fight the battle with me.
So far i have had fantasies and have thought about the simple fact of masturbation without porn, but it was just easier for me to say no to it in general. After only 5 days i believe the only symptom i'm having is very minute headaches. Things helping me succeed are Bible verses, YouTube videos, and ESPECIALLY educating myself about porn addiction to why its not good for anyone!
Unlike the other times i have tried quitting this time i truly feel like the time is at hand for me. I feel like this is truly the moment for stopping. The previous times just didn't feel right in my heart, but now i can start becoming closer with my savior and focus on the road ahead. thanks for reading and good luck to all out there!
