Hey there! I'm Aden. I'm about to turn 20 in 6 days. I'm a college student at East Tennessee State University. My problem with pornography started when I was about 14 years old, but its only been in the last 2 years that I realized that it was a problem. I've been trying and failing to quit ever since, only ever getting a streak up to about 15 days. One time, I got up to about 30 days on a study abroad trip this summer, but that was due more to a temporary circumstance rather than my own efforts. Ever since I broke that streak, I've been having a hard time stringing together more than 1 day. I just broke my second 6 day streak. And I have decided to get involved in this online community. about 15 days ago I resolved to start a 90 -day, "Hard Mode" reboot. I've reset 4 times. I know I need to establish accountability in my life, but I don't have any friends that I think would really take this problem seriously. I've talked to both parents about it, and they know what I 'm going through (though I question to what degree they really understand). If anyone has any helpful tips or tricks, especially for having a strong first week. I have the hardest time on day 1, and then urges get bad again around day 5-7. I've rarely gotten past that point. I have a particular problem, I am deeply ashamed to admit, with pornographic comics. More so than traditional porn of late, this has been the monster that routinely cuts me down. Does anyone else have any experience with that specific area of porn addiction? Any advice at all is appreciated. I know that porn, in all its forms, is morally repugnant, and I do not want to be a man who looks a other people having sex, or engages in depraved representations of sexual acts. I want to be a good man. Strong. Wise. Self-Sufficient. Brave. I want other people to be able to rely on me. I want to trust myself. If anybody out there can help, I appreciate it to absolutely no end.
