I joined today. I have tried to quit numerous times. It clicked with me today that I don’t know who I am without porn. I was introduced by my cousin when I was like 10-12 and was hooked immediately. I have used it for stress and to fill voids and loneliness. I literally don’t know who I am without it. That scares me. My wife knows I view it. She doesn’t care. She doesn’t think I have an issue. She thinks all men do it. Maybe they do. But not the degree that I have. 25-27 years of addiction. I’m 37. Holy cow. I have a healthy marriage and a son who I adore. A great career and loved by my community. I wear this scarlet letter though.

Thanks. I’m optimistic. I have noticed how habitual it is. I just open this app instead. Here is to finding out who I actually am

The person you can/will be without it will be proud of you for taking this step.

As long as you’re still alive there’s always hope. Don’t let the devil ruin your family because it will get to that point where you start putting all your time into it and it will be some noticeable and even your wife that “don’t mind it” now will start to feel neglected. Fight it with friends and with God , it can be beaten I have been 1 month free and I never thought I could even do it but it is definitely possible and the benefits outweighs the risks of keeping on doing it. You got this, think about the example you want for your kids
