    Hi my name is Adam. I've been looking at pornography and using fantasy to achieve instant gratification since I was 13. I used pornography and fantasy in high school to escape my unhappy home, school and social life. I had a somewhat healthy sex life when I was 18 but after being cheated on, it never really came back. I looked at porn online using dial up so I didn't see many pics. I still didn't masturbate that often but I would to fantasies of transsexuals and gay sex images. I got faster internet and was able to download more. I was masturbating to porn up to 10 times a day. My motivation dropped for everything and my attraction to women dropped away. I ended up meeting a great girl and my habit then ruined it in amongst other issues. I became aware that I had an issue with pornography but didn't do anything about it. I overcame my ed for six months in 2014 but my need for gratification ruined my next relationship. I hit a dark depression in 2014 after ruining large portions of my life and I kept masturbating if not more. I started a relationship last year and my porn induced ed came along. I knew that it was a real problem. So I started reading "your brain on porn" and went through my first streak. That lasted 23 days. I had sex after 23 days and it was incredible. I had the chaser effect after. I had them relapsed back into pornography. My life was improving but I was still masturbating. That girl and I broke up but I was using porn.
    I came to realise that I used it when I was bored and lonely. It was tied in with issues around self esteem with women and other issues that exist. I'm working through the issues in therapy and now I am working on my porn problem. Last week I went 4 days. I could see my brain starting to trick me into looking at sexual images which is what broke me. I started a new streak on Sunday. It's been three days. I can see my brain tricking me. I'm staying strong. This time around, I want to reach out for help and assistance as I go

    Thanks heaps man! It's nice to find somewhere to go.
    At the moment it's mostly avoidance but working to implement new activities and thinking patterns. I'm doing this directly alongside my psych sessions and we are currently hitting on the areas as to why I'm where I am
    I'm always open to suggestions and ideas
