Has anyone here actually talked to a professional?

I’ve tried celebrate recovery at a church and it really helped, even if you’re not religious. Many men there have the same struggle as us and it was nice to talk about it without judgement. The men understand and support you in your journey to recovery. Maybe give it a shot!

I did. I think it took me 6-8 months with the same therapist for me to feel comfortable telling them about it. But once I did, it was actually a huge burden/weight lifted off of my shoulders. Only you will know when you’re ready. But I can definitively say, I’m not a person who likes to share private info about myself. It was difficult. But once I did, whew, it was nice. Make sure you feel comfortable with the therapist. Also make sure they’re versed in addiction too. That helps. The important thing to also remember, as long as you respect yourself and love yourself, who cares what others think? Now, that doesn’t mean you need to shout it from the roof tops, but telling a professional is what their job is for.

I have. It was incredibly helpful. Went for about 3 years.

No I haven’t for the same reasons. But I feel like if you think that you should and that it could benefit you in your recovery process. Then you should definitely do it. Doesn’t have to come off as creepy. Addiction to porn Is just as real as any drug addiction that people go to they’re therapists about
