New around here!

Hello all,

I found out about this forum on a Netflix documentary called Dark Net, so glad I stumbled across that.

I've struggled with varying sex and porn addiction (including online chatrooms etc) for maybe 20 years (I'm 29 now) and, as I've read on many of the posts here, it has become more extreme and frankly downright dangerous over time.

I'm married with 2 kids and a good career and I know I risk all of that every time I engage in PMO. I'm now on day 5 of my first ever reboot attempt, I've also gone to my doctors and been prescribed antidepressants and have got some contact info for CBT / talking therapy which I hope will also help.

Reading through the success stories gives me a lot of hope for the future, and it is honestly so wonderful to find this community. Feeling alone in it all is terrible and knowing there are many others going through this process is a very relieving feeling.

I am of course worried about relapsing but with the support of this group and my insanely patient wife (honestly do not understand how she is still with me after some of the things I've done!) I know I can do this.

Looking forward to becoming part of this community.


Tl;Dr ? Hi I'm new here, addict for 20 years finally trying to get better!
