Hello everybody,
I’m 24 years old and have struggled with an addiction to porn since I was about 11. This has been brutal when I was younger as I wasn’t very capable socially, which, mixed with watching porn several times a day, made me a miserable little kid. This went on until I was about 18, when I finally started growing out of a lot of these problems.
I can gladly say though, that through a lot of work and the help of some wonderful people, I have become a pretty happy person and really can’t complain about my life. I’ve got a good job, my girlfriend is an absolute angel and I’ve become quite a social person.
One of the only things that throws back into my depressed state at times is porn. It has always been there, it has always been something I’m ashamed of and it has always made me miserable. I never quite managed to quit it. Once this year, I managed about 3 months, but that has fallen apart steadily from watching porn ‘just once’ to falling back into a legit habit.
Short story: it’s overdue I quit this for good. There’s no reason to consume something that makes me miserable and if I imagine an ideal me, porn definitely isn’t a part of that vision.
I think I owe it to myself and the people that trust me to quit this. I feel like my life has been going so good and to have porn ruin either my relationship or something else would be so unnecessary.
I want to make a little pledge here: I haven’t been honest to my girlfriend about falling back into my porn habit. It is arguably the worst part that I’m lying to her (technically just not mentioning it, but I do think that doesn’t make a notable difference). When I get to 30 days, I’ll tell her about my relapse. I want to wait though, as I want to take this first part by myself.
All the best of success to everybody who reads this
