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.

Hi All,

First post here. Never thought I would be posting to a site like this. Actually I'm a little afraid of talking (typing actually) out loud about this. It's hard to do. It's been my secret for so long. There is a nervous tightness in my stomach right now but my rational mind tells me that this is safe. Also, there is a part of me that needs to do this.
