Hey, so I’m christian porn addict for like 8 years, I would say and recently I started taking this fight seriously. I’m not doing good, relapsing regularly. I started feeling scared, that I won’t make it, I won’t get free. The worst thing is, that I am in happy relationship and I’m getting married in 8 months. I can’t make it to marriage with this. I can’t let her down. She is aware of the problem, but she trusts I will handle it. I don’t know if I trust myself…

Hey I’m glad you shared. I am just starting my journey here so I may not have the greatest advice but I can say this. If you are trying to fight this battle alone it will not work. I know it’s always awkward to discuss this problem with people especially your fiance but you truly need to let her know that you need help and you are struggling to do this on your own. So ways she can help is making a screen time password so you cannot download any apps, you already started great by blocking websites on this app. You also need to identify the where when and how. Where you do it, when you do it, and how you do it. This can help you isolate yourself from pornography. I would encourage you to reach out on this app when you are feeling an urge or reach out to your finance. I am sure she would want to help you work through it by going on a walk, helping you take your mind off the urge etc. The biggest skill you can learn is learning that thoughts are just thoughts and learning to accept them for what they are can help you fight the urges rather than engage.
