Hi guys! Just joined the app, I’ve been struggling with addiction to porn and masturbation since I was probably 15 and I’m 32 now. For 5 years this continued to destroy my marriage as I constantly lie out shame and continuously getting caught. It brings so much pain to think of what i put my wife through. I constantly want to change and never get far. Today is the day I really want to overcome this “thorn in my flesh” it so encouraging seeing all your post and support.

Congrats. Check out SAA. Based on the 12 steps of AA. It’s text The Green Book may help. Plenty of phone meetings nowadays.

We are not bad trying to become good, we are sick trying to become well.

Hi Russell, nice meeting you, my name’s Matt and I am recovering from the very same thing. It sounds like you are very keen to find some change - that’s a good start. I have the same suggestion as @Antoine: finding a group is a good place to start. Finding others in recovery from porn & sex addiction makes a huge difference: it helps you get outside your own head. Neal made a good list of groups here:

Keep checking in here, looking forward to seeing more of you!

I have several addictions one of them porn and sex it’s the hard one. I have been sober from drugs and drinking for 2 years but, I can’t quit from watching porn or sex a trying so hard but always acting out again and again until frustration. Sometimes i feel I will stay in same place that make my life without meaning. Sometimes I have suicide thoughts.

Oh my gosh, yeah I have had that happen a couple of times and for me it’s the being caught off guard that throws me. But I’m at 3 months and 3 days!
