Dear all,

This is the first time I am posting to this forum, but it is not the first time I have come to this website, I use it very regularly and find it very useful, thanks so much for setting it up.

I understand its original purpose, and really appreciate the way it has become tolerant of issues that have arisen around porn addiction - and provided a real release from this intensely private issue.

Ok here goes!

Ok last time I masturbated was July 24th at 5:53pm, it's not july 25th 9:53pm. So I have 1 day and 4 hours down, this is day 2. I remembered day two through four being the hardest..

Even though i started it yesterday, i had an orgasm with my wife so i dont want to count on it, so today is the 1st day . Hands shivering, having headache, I even attended a interview yesterday with this shiver, god knows what must have happened, i could see myself struggle to speak in interview and with my wife.
I told everything to my wife today, she is acting as a therapist for me as she is a doctor, I know she has such a great shock and is not telling out, I am worried what will happen to her.

From the amount of info I've read and what I've personally experienced, porn/sex addiction is one of the many causes of ADHD. I think it's the most single profound cause of ADD-Primarily Inattentive. After additionally reading about all the problems people here on this site have with concentration, these publications and studies I've read (which haven't proved a direct correlation, but circled about it) seem to make sense.

Hey everyone, So iam new to this whole thing. I am 25 years old. I get outside alot, and eat well and i am pretty social. But i have been stuck in the secret porn trap for 6 or 7 years as well as engaging in the song and dance that goes along with porn.
So tonight is night 1. What am i to expect in the upcomming nights?

Hey Everyone,

Im new to the site. First off, its a wonderful site and im so happy i came across it. A little about me. Ive been addicted to porn and masturbation for about 8 years. Im now 23 years old. I finally came to the conclusion that i am an addict after years of denial and realizing i couldn't stop when i wanted to.

Hi, I'm still struggling to go for more than 4 days without masturbating (just had a relapse yesterday). It just seems to me that on that third or fourth day, I just can't think of anything else but 'not to masturbate'; so I'm thinking about it...

Hey everyone, I'm new. Before joining I had read others posts to help me get through this addiction. I started looking at porn early in high school. I had a computer in my room so I always had privacy. After the first few revealing pics, I was hooked. Even typing this now I'm experiencing some cravings...its like a nagging feeling that just won't go away. After viewing porn I started masturbating to it daily. My preferences would change from 'average' porn to the hardcore bondage stuff. (which I now find disturbing...) After school I'd look at porn and masturbate.

not much to say really
just am cross at everyonei know. impatient. not feel understood. not knowing where i belong. really. am just terrified and frozen from this. i really feel lost.

Hi, I am new to this and I wanted to thank you all for being apart of this site. I have struggled with porn/masturbation addiction for over half of mylife (Im 24). And during this time I kept it all a secret. Reading what everyone is going through is so encouraging, it helps me to see how important it is I really get past this. This habit has runied my life, and has effected everyting I have tried to accomplish. It has runied my friendships, destroyed myself esteem, prevented me from delevoping close friendships, scared my mind, damaged body, etc.
