Day 55. Had a few triggers, talking to a woman included. Stayed sober. Nice to be able to talk to someone.

It is an interesting experience, talking with women while in recovery from porn. I am finding at first - I am still in early days - that I am uneasy. I question my motives, my thoughts, and I just think, OK, am I engaging with this person for the right reasons?

That’s been my experience anyway. I am starting to believe I will trust myself better as I get more grounded in normal, healthy social interactions. I believe it will come with time.

Agree. I need to keep myself in check. I feel exactly how you feel. I look at it like I have desires, what I need to figure out is are they in line with gods will for me.

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!
