I was almost at 48 days. I’m doing this for me and my fiance. More specifically her. I’ve had an issue with this since I hit puberty being exposed to it so young. It’s been very hard but I’ve been prevailing but I had a slip up and I feel terrible. I’ve tried seeking behavioral therapy but no one takes insurance and the places around me are $180 a session. And that’s not even the start out most places require three sessions and make you pay for three at once and it’s almost $600. This app has been helping a lot knowing I’m not the only going through this, but at times I feel like I am going to need more than this and I really don’t have the money. Does anyone have any things that has seemed to help them?

Thank you guys for the recommendations, I used to be very religious but fell out of it and as of this past year I’ve been trying to reconnect with god. It’s been helping and I just started a “ buddy program” with one of my friends as of today and hopefully this will help too! Thank you again guys!! I will try journaling as well!

If you don’t feel that this app is enough, open up your Bible brotha. I’ve watched my best friend go from being an atheist who thought a relationship with God was insanity to now building a family centered around him. He had many problems that he didn’t show to anyone but once he chose to bring God into his life all of those problems faded away. Personally ive struggled with sin in my life, primarily around lust, and somehow diving into the Bible seems to always speak the right words. After reading, I write in a journal about my thoughts. Think most problems we have we try to solve them in our minds. The moment you write your problems down you’ve solved 90% of the problem, the other 10% is following through with the work. Hopefully these things help, God bless ya brotha and stay strong!

If you’re like me, and are okay with video sessions and text messaging a therapist, BetterHelp for real is a good choice. I just recently got into it and since I’m a Christian I got matched with a Christian based therapist, and it’s starting off pretty well. If you are serious about this, make some detailed notes about your triggers and make sure to have your therapist help you with your progress. To beat this, I’m not gonna tell you to start being religious if you aren’t, but after making the commitment to stop porn and masturbation for your own good, seeking God and praying for strength and happiness will get you through this. Also jf you don’t make too much money like me, the sessions are only $52/week, so it’d be good if you wanted to try it. Stay strong brother, we’re in this together
