my story
Hello I am 20 years old and addicted to PMO and have been since I was sixteen it happens 1-5 times a day and sometimes lasts for 4+ hours at a time. I am massivly depressed and already have an anxiety disorder and the addiction makes it ten times worse . I have a addiction thrapist I have recently had a few sessions with and he encourages a complete reboot . No porn or masterbation at all. The addiction has got to the point where I am viewing more extreme  porn, fetishes, fantasies which I despise . things that' are not a part of my sexual orientation also which does not agree with my morals . It's almost like because I despise the fetishes and fantasies it's  more wrong . Maybe that's what exites the addiction .It makes me think I am what I am viewing and I know it's not . And it makes me so sad everyday . I have a girlfriend that I have been with for 3 years who just yesterday iv told her everything . Not sparing details and she is then most suportive person ever. We have sex and I get perfectly aroused if not more . I am making this journel because I'm finding it incredibly hard not to relapse and want to be apart of the reboot nation and have suport from people like me . I need to beat this

Thanks

Welcome! :)

You should read as much as possible about your addiction to get an idea of how your brain works and to develop strategies against relapsing. www.yourbrainonporn.com is a very good starting point, reading other user's journals also helps a lot.

All the best for your journey!
