On the 18th , of this month, so day 2, i guess, (even though im having the fantasy problem)
New to the forums as well.
Anyway, I'm now 20 years old (just turned), and I started masturbating to porn, I cant even remember when, a few years back, early teens.
So I know my recovery will probably be longer then one who started porn late in his age.
But I know I can give up the porn, and I know I can give up masturbating and orgasm.
I am trying to go for the 90-120 day mark as that seems to be the biggest window of most success stories.

Making some progress I'm nervously going to say.. I'm noticing my anxiety has reduced compared to 6 weeks ago! I've probably watched P 3 times in the last 6-7 weeks, which normally on average I would have watched around 126 times - so I see this as progress!!
Anyway, I've probably M'd once a week or so sometimes a little bit more but nothing excessive! And I'm noticing that when I'm not anxious and I M my erection does seem harder, and doesn't seem to be going down at all which is good..

Hey fellow fighters.
You have probably seen my posts about struggling with porn so you know a bit about my background. If not, well here is a short story:
- Addicted to porn for 10 years, 17-27 years.
- Been isolating myself from society during that time.
- Partly porn free now, meaning have the strength to go without porn for 1-1.5 months, watch porn for 1 day, porn free for 1-1.5 months, watch porn for 1 day etc etc. This means I probably watch porn 12ish times through an entire year.

So yesterday (10/22/2010) I was doing great. I noticed my urges of masturbating was less and that the thought of viewing pornography was not even on my mind. Suddenly it struck last night and I had a wet dream. I'm going to continue counting however and consider this Day 15 since I had no control over my situation. My ultimate goal is to prevent voluntary masturbation/viewing porn and not involuntary ejaculation.

So yesterday was day 14 without PMO. The last 4 days have been very hard for me because of the withdrawal symptoms.
Day 11: I was feeling very very depressed without any desire to talk or socialize. I was also feeling an intense pain in the chest and headache. Luckily, I've previously arranged to go to an exhibition with a friend, and he did his best to cheer me up. I was happy afterwards. Went for a short walk with my gf and it was good.

First of all, excuse me for my poor english: I'm spanish.
I've been a porn addict for several years, and a reader of this site for two or three months and I've decided to be more involved in it because it has helped me a lot. As a kind of "presentation" I'll share my story like others did before.

I've been completely porn-sober since March. March was my second slip-up after a four to six month period of success.

Hi all,
First, thank you to Marnia for this site and granting me the opportunity to blog here.
I am a business professional in my lower 40s and happily married. I have been addicted to masturbation and porn for as long as I can remember. I would ejaculate everyday. Sometimes twice and on rare occasions sometimes three times a day.
For continuity I included my post from the forum here:
