Hi all, 31 year old guy here. Had a lot of issues with using pornography and sexting apps to escape overwhelmingly uncomfortable feelings in my life. It has escalated to a point where the use has morphed to material not of my sexual orientation which has challenged my identity and encroached on my personal life. Have tried unsuccessfully to break this habit, managing as much as 30 days without relapse but generally 2-3 days is the cycle. This time I am attacking it from all angles - blocking my phone and devices, will be re-attending addiction meetings weekly and will commit to posting at least once daily on this site to record and monitor my progress. So glad this exists and much respect to all the people out there in the struggle. Glad to be here. TheConch
Good luck with your new attempt. Ive taken breaks before but never committed to a full reboot until now. Its a struggle but hopefully we will get there in the end.
Thanks Tom. I’m glad the support is here as it’s an incredibly lonely pursuit due to the shame built around it for me personally. It’s like being possessed, slowly eats away at your life until it’s claws are too deep to pull out without pain.
