I can't do this alone. I need help.

Hello,

This is my first time actively participating on one of these forums. I am a long time lurker and was someone curtain that I could fix all my problems on my own without any help. Years of frustration and stalling later I know I need help.

I've been watching porn since I was 14, which developed into hours long edging sessions to material that still haunts me. Watching Gary Wilson's Your Brain on Porn video was the wake up call I need to finally face this addiction that I had accepted as a normal part of my life. I'm currently in my 6th year of try to free myself from porn.

I've learned so much over the years through this process I'm excited to talk to others and learn from their hard earned experiences. Also I'm happy to talk with anyone and share advice or material.

My longest time without porn was about a month but I can definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel. Please help me free myself from these chains.

Welcome to the forum Mookkie,

Your history does not differ much from all the histories you can read here, but you already know this. First of all, you're not alone, we are together in this.

As the fight intenses to beat the addiction, the addiction will fight back. Be prepared for that, i mean, take it 150% seriously.

I advice to start a journal in which you personally can reflect and keep track of everything around your addiction. Write down and ask questions and i'm sure there will be someone who can respond to you. It helped me tremendously to exchange thoughts or advices and sometimes just a nice answer.

All the best for you

Imsor

I know the feeling you desrcibe of trying to just cure myself without outside help, but I've noticed the tremendous power of journaling and support from others. I'd advice you to check material on journaling techniques so that you can find an effective way to write journal entries. Remindkng yourself of why you're doing this is also important.

I am with you in spirit my friend. Stay strong!

Man you are not the only one having this experience, I began to watch porn on my 15, I have been struggled to quit porn but never succeed, my record was 60 days and I did that with pure wilpower, it's important to get help from others, and find yourself something you really into in your real life. I just asked my dad to support me on this spot and we used Covenatn Eye, keep strong man, like imsorrynotsorry said, the addiction will fight back, keep strong!

Welcome to the Forum Mookkie. I am also a beginner on the path to porn sobriety and a long time lurker on many self help forums. I finally decided to take the next step and get involved today. All I feel qualified to say at this point, being so new, is that you should take it one day at a time and don't be hard on yourself for relapsing. I believe it will happen many times before we succeed. Congratulate and be proud of yourself for the little progress you make in this beginning stage. And NEVER GIVE UP!!!

Hi, this is my first time here and I imediatelly clicked on this topic once I saw it beacause it's the best one I could relate to. That's why I came here, I can't do it alone, been trying for two years and I am close to do it but I need help. I need to talk to people who can relate to my problem and help me. I hope we can talk about our journeys and help each other.
