Good morning, I'm not really sure what the best introduction would be, and I'm not super comfortable sharing yet so I suppose the basics are: I'm a married guy in my late 20s, have a decent job and good family so little to complain about. I'm super into cycling as a serious hobby and fitness generally. Porn wise, I was exposed to it when I was 15 and it slowly became more and more of a problem in my late teens to 20. watching porn/jacking off daily or multiple times a day. I went off to college shortly after I turned 20 and things got much much better, once every couple of weeks, or once a month. I once went for something like 190 days straight (still my longest streak). That being said, as soon as I got back home in the summers things went straight to hell again, and then way better again when I went back to school. I graduated in 2019 and gradually things have slowly gotten better to the point of relapsing 1 or 2 times per week, or going 2 weeks occasionally. That being said, I've made no progress past there in the last year/year and a half. I've been on this journey for over 10 years at this point and really haven't shared it with anyone (I did tell my wife while we were dating, but I was warned against having your sigficant other being your accountability partner) so I've been going it alone and at this point I really need a support group, honestly I needed a support group years ago but haven't had the courage to really open up. Anyways, apologies for the long intro.
Your not the only one. I'm 29. Married 4 kids. Great job. Still feel stuck. She knows. But I do have lots of support.
