Last straw

[Nexus974]

2 weeks ago something in me just snapped. I can't explain it any better than that. Something inside me just said 'no more'. I deleted my Twitter porn account, erased all my nude images, and removed all the porn site bookmarks from my computer, smartphones, and tablet. I found this site a week or so later. So how about the rest of you. What was the straw that broke the camel's back? What happened to make you finally confront your addiction?

It is an interesting question, because I have found for myself that there are different levels of being willing to "confront the addiction." For me that willingness has varied a lot over time as I've gone in and out of denial and also various kinds of rationalization.

But why am I here, today, confronting my addiction? If I had to pick one thing, it would be the desire to contribute to the world in some way. Porn really gets in the way of that.

My next to the last straw was being unable to perform sexually with a young woman this past spring. Three nights in a row. I finally admitted I had PIED.

My last straw was the realization that hoping, wishing, and pretending wasn't going to fix my life.

I have to do the work. I have to make it happen. I have to be strong enough to resist the little voice that says, "Just a peek...just this once."

I am strong enough.
