Hi Natasha, Jenna, Dan, Lashay, Trucker J, and Matt - nice to see everyone!

My name is Matt. My addiction is to masturbation to pornography, which I have struggled with since I was in school. Pornography, sex, masturbation - like alcohol - fit into that zone where it sort of sneaks into your life because it’s everywhere. Eventually though, if it’s an addiction for you, you realize that it’s blinding you to your true life and your true self.

I joined a sex addiction recovery clinic in my city last year and for the first time I feel like I understand why I started this, and how I can recover. I fee like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I have taken time and energy I used to waste on my addiction, and spent it with my wife and friends, and my marriage and my friendships are stronger now.

Thanks for opening this thread Natasha! It’s a great idea :innocent: Looking forward to accompanying you on your journey! :smile:

Hi Natasha,

I am Jim. 456 days sober. I’ve been here since 2017. This place is amazing! Truly good people here who care and support others. I’m glad you have the courage to change your life. Stick around. Read and post often (great post btw), revisit some old hobbies or start some new ones. I had a slip up here or there in the beginning. Had a son and said the time to change is now and didn’t look back. I wish you continued luck on your journey.

Hi I’m Traci,
I have only 23 days under my belt but I’m pretty proud of myself. Alcohol was my vice. I’m 35 years old. I’ve struggled with my addiction for a few years now and it got really intense really quickly. Got sober for 5 months last year in an out patient program but then slipped back into my old ways. My life has consisted of laying in bed and drinking for atleast the last 9 months and I made myself very sick. I’m a bit of a loner but love my big family who’s super supportive. For that I am blessed. I write a lot- poetry actually. Maybe that will take me somewhere someday. I’m a dreamer and a lover and seek peace and tranquility. Leaving on Wednesday for a 97 day in-patient program which is a huge change but a much needed one. I want my life back and I’m going to do everything I can to get there. Nice getting to know all of you!

Howdy, I’m David, 36, and I’m a grateful alcoholic. I’ve been sober since 1/20/2018 which is a little over a 1000 days. I’ve been driving a city bus for over 12 years, have 3 girls and a boy, a beautiful wife who makes me feel whole, and a tremendous love for DIY stuff/building things out of wood/renovating/fixing things since I got sober, usually happiest when I’m running some tools and making something the wife wants built.

Nice to meet ya.

Yo! I’m tammy. Doc alcohol. Sober for tad over there days. I am passionate about music. My taste is very eclectic. I collect all things lol mostly action figures, vintage gaming items, and music memorabilia and I can’t turn down things that come in a carrying case or is an actual carrying case.i have weird obsessive tendencies like that. I just like things to be"safe", it’s rather obnoxious. I live for moments and hope to impact other people who cross my path. Sensitive, witty, and love hard. Still grieving the loss of my wife. I’m fresh in on trying to remain sober again. This time it’s been a mf. :crossed_fingers:

My son is why I decided to work on sobriety as well. Im not going to lie, it’s hard cause part of me doesn’t want to let the drugs go but I also dont want to have anymore chances at losing my child… Idk… Im praying i keep making the right decisions and that one day I wont want the drugs anymore.
