Marriage and work anxiety

Day 18

When work is difficult and my wife doesn’t pursue me or welcome my advances, my anxiety prompts me to escape through porn and/ or masturbation. A few months ago - after years of sobriety - I felt called to a new career after decades in a completely different field. Most of the time I was ok with persevering through the discomfort of learning something completely foreign to me. But sometimes I gave in and turned to porn and masturbation. A friend told me about this app. Today after a long day of work and doing stuff for my wife I came home and didn’t feel connected. The urges started. I’m a few minutes shy of 19 days sober. I’m verbally processing with you all instead of relapsing. Praise God! Thanks for listening and for any encouragement you’d like to throw my way. I’d love to hear it.

U got this. Also men initiate and women reciprocate. Pursue ur wife and she will reciprocate don’t have her be the one to make the connection, she reciprocates what you put forth

You’ve got this brother! I know it can be a very difficult battle but we’ve all got to get through this. I pray that things start to get better for you. 🙏🏻
