Hi I guess. I'm new to this "sharing" thing with people I don't know. I'm not entirely sure if it's more comfortable because I don't know you guys or if it's more uncomfortable. I'm the type to want to be liked by everyone and measure up to some kind of expectations- a reputation to protect. I feel judged all the time. I'm definitely cynical and paranoid. So if I get into a negative rant, well, please stop me. I'm doing this because I want and need to stop my addiction to pornography and the resulting masturbation. Yeah it's part religious reasons but it's mainly because it eats away at my soul. I'm dying inside. It distorts my views on relationships. It makes me yearn for a life of sex- just sex and I don't want that. I want a full blown connection with someone I love and respect with romance and all. With my overall addictions I feel unworthy, unloved, and dirty. So here I am seeking help. I want to change and I want to stay clean. No ifs, ands, or buts allowed. Peace out my fellow fighters
