Honesty
So I’ve been fighting this addiction to porn and masturbation for a little over 8 years, and it has been a tough battle. The longest I’ve gone has been 4 months, but that was a few years ago. Recently I came forward to my girlfriend and told her that I had been using on and off for the entirety of our relationship. She knew I struggled but didn’t know I was struggling while we were dating. I fight this battle for my soul and mind for me, my girlfriend, my family, my friends, and my God. I’m thankful for a community like this who is able to uplift and support each other. I’m taking this one day at a time, and every day of victory is a blessing.
I was fully transparent with my wife a month ago and she left me. It’s a difficult path but the honesty helps break free of this toxic addiction - 38 days clean
