Should i tell my dad?

Hey guys,
i have been a fap addict for long now. It started screwing with my health,mind and consequently studies, about 4.5 years ago,since it was high school and with college and whatnot at stake i confessed to my dad(not in detail). He said that it was indeed a harmful habit and he gave me a religious book and asked me to read it everyday.
It's been 4 years since, after i had told him i was clean for 10 months,but due to constant wet dreams i think my body didn't recover physically and mentally. As a result one day i broke that 10 months streak and since then i t was a downhill road to discovering porn,to fetish porn,a lot more fapping, to 4 years of physical and mental inadquacy and pain. More recently i developed a problem of self talk and internet,tv addiction..

My dad probably thinks i quit it completely and am recovered. I did not tell him about the physical mental effects too back then. I am thinking of telling him completely since,last i lost the opportunity to get into a decent university because of fap and now soon i have to sit for job interviews and postgraduate college opportunities,both i am incapable and inadequate of because of P& MO (yes porn is a problem too now)..

I don't really know what i expect from doing so but this thing is consuming me.. and i don't want to lose anything to it anymore.

 

I think the time has arrived that requires an honest, detailed, heart-to-heart with your dad. Clearly he loves you dearly. But he has no idea that the relatively small problem you disclosed to his years ago has morphed into what it has today.

Accountability partners from the site can be a positive thing, but I have always believed that face-to-face accountability is much more powerful. However, for it to work at it's peak efficiency ALL aspects of this addiction must be admitted. This must include the fetish porn and anything else you might feel inclined to avoid mentioning or giving only limited info of.

Maybe your dad is the only one that can make a difference now. So, go to him. Talk to him, cry to him and get the help.

 

Told my dad the whole stuff,except the fetish porn stuff. I told him that i watch porn and was hooked to it and everything else.
He was very understanding and told me he'll support me to go clean,not in the urge area but the rest of it..

 

You need to get him to watch some videos on this. He needs to be convinced that it is not some personal neurosis, but a real scientifically observable and explainable phenomena. Well done for have the balls to do this. You won't regret it pal.

 

Anything is better than nothing at all. You're an inspiration to people like me, who I can't even prod the subject of sex in front of my parents. One day... I hope I can come clear about it all. One day.
