Hi everyone. My name is Steve and I am a porn/masturbation addict. I have come here seeking help from others that are in the same situation as myself and to find an accountability partner / sponsor that can help me through. I am 38 years old A little bit about my History I was exposed to hardcore porn at 12. I acted out most of the sexual behaviors with my best friend watching it together. This lasted to college years. I had a hard time with relationships with women due to the fact they weren't what I was watching. I've gone on binges for hours upon end masturbating. I've recently experienced porn escalation to its max and I'm starting to get into territory that is making me scared(underage non nude photos of teenagers, masturbating and chatting with other men online) and I am suffering from cervical Stenosis which I feel is directly related to masturbating like this for most of my life. I am physically in pain. I need to rid of this for the sake of my marriage, daughter and overall health. The past six months have been the worst as I am currently displaced having my new home renovated. We plan on moving in within a month or so and I can't take this with me. Please someone help me
Hi Steve, Welcome to the Nofap community. The NO PM or NO PMO journey is not easy but worth the effort. Did you already talk with your wife about your addiction? Might be very helpful. Most wives support their husband. Good luck!
Steve: Best way to get out of a dark place is to admit your problem as you have done here. Welcome. Here are some things working for me.
Hey Steve, you came to the right place! I recommend starting a journal and interacting with others here. I wish you well!
