Quitting porn for good

I want to quit porn for good because my daughter is on the way, and I owe it to her, and to my wife. I want to be the best man I can be. I don’t want to carry around secrets or shame, and I don’t want to let something cheap and fake steal my attention from the real love and life right in front of me. My wife deserves a husband who is fully present, respectful, and honest. My daughter deserves a father who models integrity and self-control. I want to be someone they’re proud of someone I’m proud of. It’s not easy, but this matters more than a moment of escape. They matter more.

My wife and I have talked about it. It hurts her really bad and she feels like she’s not enough which completely murders my mental health. She’s my everything. I discovered porn at a very very early age thanks to the internet and it’s been an ongoing addiction since.. I have to be better for her.

The first step would be to go to your wife if she doesn’t already know and opening up about this issue and asking for support I would say being completely open and transparent is the first step

Yer I hear you bro. I was in the same place as you a year ago. Don’t get me wrong it’s been hard trying to beat the urge and I haven’t won it over yet but I know I am getting control of it my dependency is less and less and I am now in the position where I know I can make the real change once and for all. Just remember don’t be too hard on yourself relapsing happens it’s normal if it was easy we wouldn’t be here on this app. But yourself respect and remember time is the greatest healer. Congratulations to you and your wife having a child together is the most amazing gift a person can have
