Fresh start

Hey everyone,

I’m going to write more about my recent experiences in the days ahead.

I had an amazing encounter with God at church on Wednesday 1/21/26 and I believe He really changed something inside me.

I’ve had a porn problem since I was 15 years old, so it’s been about 22 years of this.

Through the years I have thought so many times that when something new would happen in my life I would get the strength to overcome this habit. I thought marriage would help, but it didn’t. Instead of helping me - I ended up hurting my wife, and kids in the process, though they didn’t even know about it. I’ve kept this secret all these years with the exception of telling two different ministers several years ago. I had told my wife years ago about it as well, but at that time I thought I was free because I hadn’t looked at porn for some months, but later when I relapsed I never told her about it and kept it secret until this week.

After my experience with God this week, I told my wife about everything. I gave all the details (as much as she wanted). I was so afraid all these years that if I told her she would leave me. She didn’t leave - she wants to help me. I have hope for the first time in years.

More to come.

It’s been some weeks now since my last time looking at porn but I am going to use 1/21 as my start date.

So here is to day 3

Day 61

Still going strong, having weird dreams but I think that’s to be expected. Last night I dreamed that I started watching porn but stopped in the middle of it without pmo, but then I was so scared to tell my wife. Glad it was just a dream and that when I woke up I could actually tell my wife about the dream.

Day 106 no pmo no mo

Thankful to report I’ve been doing really well and feel very different about porn, I feel like God completely removed the desire from me. I say that God did this because I’ve tried to quit so many times and it was always such a challenge, I know I’m only on day 106 but this just feels different, I haven’t even had a wet dream since I quit, which to me is a good thing - I hate waking up from that. Either way, just thankful for where I’m at right now.
