Hi all, After slipping yet again this morning I am feeling so frustrated. I have been trying to stop fapping to porn since early 2010 - have joined online support groups, online courses, seen real world therapists (4!) and spent time working the 12 steps in sex addicts anonymous. Although I'm currently fapping and viewing porn far less than I used to, I still fap too often when the chips are down, e.g. this morning when I woke up feeling tired after our Christmas holiday and had the beginnings of a headache coming on. I really feel that being tied to this addiction is hindering my growth as a person. In fact, I often feel like I have the emotional responses of a teenager - I started fapping compulsively at twelve, which is now over 30 years ago. I definitely feel like I've reached the halfway point (at least) of my life and don't want to spend the second half of my life being a compulsive fapper. It's time for me to grow into the person I've always wanted to be (hence the user name). Thanks for reading.
