Hey everyone, I wanted to post because there’s a lot of uncertainties in my life right now. Porn is probably the worst thing that ever happened to me. I started watching porn so young when I was 8 years old, I’m 20 now. My girlfriend of 5 years can’t take it anymore. The years of lying me trying to quit falling back into it, the shame and guilt causing me to hide more from her too. My own actions have caused so much pain for both of us, I want to be free from this.
Hey man you’re not alone I’m in a similar place. I got hooked when I was 8 I didn’t even understand what I was doing lol. It’s tough when you’ve had most of your life consumed by this addiction. Lots of hiding and trying to be a normal human. It’s really cool that you were brave enough to let someone in on your struggles like your girlfriend. I’ve been married for 3 years and my wife doesn’t know about my addiction. Keep working at it and remember that will power is a finite resource. Use it when you need to get out of a bad situation but don’t burn it out. I believe in you!
