I have been addicted to porn since I was about 11 but it never had such an effect on my life until now. I am 21 and I have been caught watching porn and lying about it to my girlfriend 3 times now. The gaslighting, lying and manipulation that I did to hide my shame as well as the amount of pain that I caused her showed me that it is truly time to take a stand so I am now here. I hope I can possibly make friends here too.
Hey Toukam, I also started watching porn at about 11. I’m 26 now, so I’ve spent more than half my life struggling with this. I think it’s important for you to remember that your addiction doesn’t just hurt the people around you, it hurts you too. Hurting your girlfriend may have been the push you needed, but you can’t just do this for others, you gotta do this for you. This battle is hard, but you can do it! And I’ll be right there in your corner cheering you on and covering you in prayer. You got this brother 🙏🏼
