Am I the only girl addict on this forum?

No you aren't! Check out the Women in Reboot section. There are many women on here who have problems with porn...you are not alone.

 

Just noticed a new female member that also is an addict. Her name is @Bre. Thought you might want to reach out to her. While it's true that there certainly is a lot more men on the site that are addicts there are some female addicts on here as well. I wish you all the best on your recovery journey. Please reach out to anyone that you feel may be a help to you.

 

Hi feel free to message me if you need anything!

 

Ohh I see sorry. If it counts I'm married to a man who is not an addict and actually has never been into porn. It's kind of a weird thing always being on the other end and never hearing advice from girls in my situation, just guys

 

Right! I know just how you feel. Females have sexual urges too. I was exposed to it young so ive sadly always been overly interested in sex and when I got older I went back to porn. I had all these memories of it. I had no idea I would get addicted. My husband grew up on the streets basically and never really had internet. He grew up taking care of his mom and sisters so he's always respected women and never dreamed of viewing porn. So that makes me feel extra like a freak and makes it feel like he will never understand. But it's ok because I'm the one at fault not him. This is my problem

 

This forum reminds me of that every day lol it's been my best step toward recovery. Connecting with others with the same struggle

 

Hope things are going well for you. I see that you are active on this site and continuing to come back and connect with others. That's great! I hope your recovery journey is progressing. Remember, it's about progress, not perfection.

 

Glad to hear that! A big part of the recovery process is recognizing that you aren't alone and that there are others with the same struggle. In addition, realizing that we can't do this on our own, that we need to rely on others to help and support us. We need healthy connection with other safe people. Isolation and trying to "fix things" on our own is a recipe for disaster. It just doesn't work. I'm happy to hear that report and that things are going well for you! Keep up the good work.
