Welcome to the group. It's great that you have these kind of goals set for yourself. There's alot of people here who you will find to be a great help to your journey.

You should check out recoverynation.com, they have a free workshops that could be beneficial to you. There's other good resources as well, try looking under the recommendations.

Good morning, and welcome! I also applaud your conviction by wanting to abstain. This is certainly a good place to start.
I also recommend checking out local SAA meetings (kind of like Alcoholics Anonymous but for sex addicts) and seeing if it will help being in an in-person meeting. The support at meetings is phenomenal. I'll tell you, with many years battling my own love and sex addiction, the support at meetings (and also on this site) are really helpful and have the power to help me get through another hour, day, week, whatever. Your realtionship with God is also a really positive thing. Keep your chin up, sister!

Good luck...you're hearts in the right place and you sound strong and resolute...hang in there!

Thank you everyone for your support :)

Welcome to DS. I think you will find some great support here, and a bunch of great people who care enough to offer help and advice.
There is a Christian site called Higher-Calling.com that may be very helpful to you. I am a member there, and we have many women who are also battling with pornography and other sex addiction issues. Check it out if you are interested.

welcome
i admire your conviction and determination, thank you for sharing it with us! I want to wish you luck on your path to better yourself, and pls don't be shy here.

Thank you very much...i am very much encouraged for my situation as i see that others have it worse than me...and i came to this site initally for another community but thought that i would join this one as well..the issues i am dealing with i dont feel that they are an addiction yet but are a struggle that if not discontinued could lead to one...i am virgin and am saving myself util marriage which i am thankful for...because i know this is just a small area in my life that i havent fallen in and that all hope is not lost..as i am in my late teens i know that some of this resulted from curiosity..but im trying to get over that...while i wouldnt label my situation an addiction and i cetanitly am no sex addict since i dont have sex...i feel that i am maturing and i want to get all areas of my life in order for the new year...while i dont think i wold benefit from sex addict groups etc. because of my situation i do think this site will be helpful to me and i have found some useful christian purity lesson courses online..and i am also checking out the every young woman's battle books...

Welcome, and congrats on your wonderful resolution.
Some people say that the attraction to porn comes when other problems arise and that is a way of coping with the problem, to lose yourself in porn.
Maybe if this is the case with you, you could try to identify some different ways of coping with rough spots in your life.
