    Well here goes nothing...

    I'm a US Marine however the biggest battle I face on a day to day is with myself, and thats to break this addiction of porn and masterbation. This is really tough for me to tell the world like this but I have to fix this. I have had this issue since I was 15 and I'm now 23. I have tried countless times to break the habit but always relapsed as soon as I start feeling good again (the longest time being 2 weeks) and then I'm at it again for weeks. I'm sick of the way it makes me feel and it's effects on my life so it's time to make a change and I figure I might as well get help with it this time since I haven't been able to stop it in the past. Thats why I'm here.

    I do have two questions though. My weakest moment is always at night when I'm trying to go to sleep. My brain will drift into the realm of sex and porn and then I get uncontrollably psyched up and horny and then succumb to it. How have you got through these tough times? Also, what are some pitfalls I need to be wary of during the reboot process?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi, at night, it helps to read a book. This often sends me to sleep. Pitfalls could be what is called the Chaser Effect, which is where you are horny a couple of days after you quit. God bless!

    Thanks I'll try that. Ironically I just bought a book too.
