Hello, I'm a 28 year old male. I've overcome alcohol & drug addiction with the help of the 12 steps..However, PMO has always been an addiction I overlooked, until I started noticing recently how compulsive I've been. I'd often joke about how much I do it as a way to maybe minimize the problem. Even without porn I'd find myself fapping in inappropriate places. And with porn the binges will take hours and I'd fap to stuff I'm otherwise repulsed by. I've had trouble in the sack and would often need porn to get aroused and I tend to view women as objects anymore. In summary, I'm sad of the energy and time lost, embarrassed of the lack of control, and scared of the progression. Im willing to take any suggestions. The longest I've made it was not even 2 days. I'm ready to commit and would appreciate any help. Thanks!
You're making the right choice by giving porn up. It seriously messes with you. Stay active on the forums and force yourself to leave the room for a while whenever you start to get urges. You can do this

Here is just some advice: First and foremost please take a look at each section in the forum, there might be something(s) you may find of big help to you. Feel free to post there :+) Then secondly I just strongly advise you to be active on your profile(as there quite a few active people in the profile section). Please start by choosing an avatar and then make daily status posts to show you're active and needing support/encouragement. They've also got a neat little feature that shows freshly posted statuses for all users to see. People will find your profile and give you encouragement/support. People (are beginning to) love communicating in the profilesection..(it should be and is )mostly spportive talk but it doesn't hurt to deviate from supportive talk. It would be great to have you join in and support others in the threads, profiles, and journal. Make sure and be grateful for the help you received and help after receiving some. Invest in some people's journeys. We could always use your help and in return you shall receive some as well!
