I'm not trying to get the same "Hi Thom" response one would expect if they attended an AA meeting, but I thought it would garner some smiles. As the title says, my name is Thom and I am 23 years old. I live in the United States and I have been addicted to pornography and masturbation for nearly 13 years. I have struggled with the addiction throughout all of puberty and well into my young adult life; the latter of which I spent embracing it for what it was and denying that it was affecting anything in my personal life or relationships. I have now come to the point where I believe my struggle has gone too far, and is now deeply hurting the people that I love and care the most about. All I want is to live a healthy life of pleasure, a life of productivity, a life of freedom. I thought that I held my freedom through embracing my vices, but I have discovered that life was nothing but poison coursing through my veins. Starting today, December 11th, 2017, I am committing to a 90-day reboot from PM while dedicating myself to working on my personal relationships to fix what I have spent years of my life undoing. I am looking for an accountability partner through here and I would love to have anyone willing to reach out and talk to me about what they are going through so that we may support each other.
Hi Thom I am glad to see you want to stop your addiction. That is a very good idea! It's not an easy job, but it will be worth it! Good luck and have a good day.
Hey, welcome on this boat, I'm glad to have you on our side! I hope you reach the top of success, good luck
Regardless, here goes: "Hi Thom". Never been to an AA meeting, but at least on a base level, I can relate. I'm Rob, and I (too) am an addict.
We're in this together Thom. Your situation is similar to mine and I'm glad I wasn't the only one experience this issue. Good luck.
