First time hitting almost 3 days! The longest I’ve ever gone was about 10 days, and that was only because I was on vacation with my girlfriend, when you’re genuinely engaged and connected, there’s no time or urge to even think about it. My real struggle starts when I’m alone and bored. But this time feels different. I’m feeling great, and I’m committed to pushing forward, step by step. Let’s go! 💪🏽
Thanks SOG! really appreciate that. It’s when you think back to what’s it’s affected in normal day to day life and then it really hits you. Not only was I not socialising much and getting a bit snappy with my wife, it’s been a bit of a financial burden. Thankfully the financial side has stopped now that I have a joint bank account. But I just need to get out of this addiction and enjoy what’s around me more. I’m happy to post on here day by day and hopefully we can help each other
Welcome, and thanks for sharing so honestly, that takes real courage. You’re not alone in this, and it’s great that you’re taking steps toward change, not just for yourself, but also for the people you care about. Recognizing the impact this habit has on your well-being and your relationship is a powerful first step. It’s also totally normal to struggle when trying to quit something that’s become a daily pattern. Willpower alone often isn’t enough, that’s why being part of a supportive community like this can really make a difference. Keep leaning in, share your wins and your setbacks, and don’t be afraid to ask for help when it gets tough. You’ve got this, one day at a time. We’re with you on the journey!
I’ve just downloaded this app, I really need to quit to make myself feel better and be better! and appreciate the people around me more. I’m married but porn is never discussed between us as she’s totally against it, but it’s something I use pretty much every day or I find my social media is just full of half naked women. I’ve tried quitting on my own but didn’t work at all. Hopefully with this app and help from forums I can quit! Let’s go! 💪🏻

I was and still am in the same position you were, Mark. For me, it especially hit hard when I lost my job. That’s when everything really came crashing down. You know how it is these days with interviews and recruiters — it’s rough out there and honestly feels like a grind with little reward. I’ve felt the financial pressure, the isolation, and that same urge to just escape through old habits. But hearing your story reminds me I’m not alone in this. We’re all trying to find our way back to stability and presence. One day at a time, like they say. Glad to be part of this space with people who get it.
