    I've struggled with porn addiction for my entire adult life. It started when I was a teenager and it has always been a part of my experience. I have actively fought with it for more than a decade now. Sometimes I have victories, even for a month or two. Most of the time, my victories only last weeks or days. It is so frustrating.

    I have tried everything I can think of to quit. I am a Christian, so prayer has certainly been part of it, but I've also tried accountability partners, filtering software, free recovery programs, expensive recovery programs, spiritual direction, one on one counseling with a psychotherapist (three times now), and yet I feel like I'm no closer today to being rid of this thing than I was years ago before I started trying to fight back.

    But I swear I'm not giving up. I'm stepping away from it this time, along with masturbation which only reinforces an already damaging behavior. I'm tired of the toll this stuff takes on my psyche and my soul. I'm looking for a way out. And I'm hoping here in this community is where I will find it.
     
  2. Welcome to NoFap.

    You've been through a great deal already. If you haven't downloaded the free "Getting Started with NoFap" guide. I know reading one more piece of literature is most likely daunting right now. But, give it a read - it helped me.

    Also, peruse through https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-users-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/ it's the resource list for new members. Videos, pages, glossaries and more. It's a very good syllabus of the NoFap program.

    Please keep us in the loop as to how you are doing,
