Hi Jenn...if your addiction is sexual or porn related, yes you are in the right place. I think you'll find many supportive and helpful people here. If you want to stop whatever it is you're doing...this board and the people on it can support, listen, offer advice but in the end, you have to make that commitment to stop. This is a start...get information..lots of information so you can begin to understand what you're dealing with...what makes you think you're an addict? Feel free to email me in you want to talk privately but posting publicly helps both you and others. So many have so much shame around sexual issues...and that secret shame hurts us further...the more you talk about it openly and see that others have gone or are going through the same things....it's helps release some of the shame. Just my opinion...

Thanks. I know I am addicted because I cannot stop although I want to. I dont remember why I decided to start, or if there was a specific reason that I started doing it. I only know that I did. I hope that being open and honest about it will help. A lot of my friends are very 'church-ly' and if they knew the truth I would be shunned from them. I just dont know why I cant stop doing it!

Jenn,
Is this the only place you have found for support? There is a great site where you can actually participate in a recovery program. It is free of charge and has a site for posting as well. On this site there are sometimes people who "troll" around and post solicitation type discussions and it can be frustrating. If you go to www.recoverynation.com there is no space for "trolls" and there are coaches online to guide you along your path to recovery. Check it out.

Jenn, I would add Higher-Calling to the sites that are safe and offer help for addiction.
www.higher-calling.com

Great site for recovery and for understanding this addiction.

Jenn
