thank you friend! i’ve also been struggling with this since about 10 years old, and i’m in my early 20s now. it’s hard to think i’ve spent half my life thinking this way, but only just now realized it was a problem. the shame is definitely difficult to shake, but i’m confident that we each have the strength to do it together! reading my fellows’ experiences has helped me start believing that :] thank you for your kindness, we’re in this together!

We are in it together! My story is all over this site over the past 3 years. I’ve been fighting it. It’s not easy, but i have to keep checking in, making sure I’m not allowing myself to be dominated. One day at a time!

Hello all. Recently discovered this app as part of my walk towards recovery from decades of porn/sex addiction and am thrilled to have a place where I’m understood, to get inspiration, to learn, and maybe most importantly to feel safe. Despite years of pornography addiction i remain technology illiterate so I will be doing my best to navigate through this new world. Thank you to all those who have come before and created this amazing space.
