Hi Everyone, I am trying to come to terms that I am not in control of my porn addiction. While I am still living my life, it controls so much of my behavior that I need to take control for myself. It has had ruinous affects on my work life and love life with my long-time girlfriend. Any words of encouragement would be appreciated. I have a feeling that I'm going to be visiting this site often. Thank you.
Hello and welcome! You are not alone! My addiction affected a lot of the same things as well, girlfriends, work, even regular relationships. It can be a hard addiction to overcome, but it can be done, and you can do it! So best of luck to you!
I've been living with it for so long I don't think I even know what it has and has not ruined! Never really been in a relationship for it to ruin? Correlation or causation? I guess we shall find out... Fortunately, the very fact you are here means you probably have more control over it than you think. I thought the same as you before I joined here. Only on day 4 but regardless I have been checking in on here once a day for 5-30 minutes. Using as prevention or a boost rather than last resort. It's been good, I'm sure we will all be able to help each other out. *air five* haha
