Hi I'm new to the site. I am addicted to pornography. This addiction will leave me for a period of time, whether it be days, weeks, or months, but it will eventually come back. This addiction has been haunting me on and off ever since I first started looking at it at age 14. Somedays, I will watch it for hours a day, without even eating. Eating isn't on my mind, only the pornography. It haunts me when I'm not at home. The pictures and videos run through my mind, distracting me from everything. I can't focus in school, in the gym, or anywhere for that matter. I feel terrible after I masturbate to it. As I lay down to sleep, the pornography runs through my mind, and I am unable to fall asleep for hours. Please somebody help. Thank you.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I have been battling this for 28 years, and have now been clean for just over a year.
You can do it, my friend. Take it one day at a time. Work on staying clean for just today, and tomorrow just worry about tomorrow.
When the urge to look comes, find something to redirect your mind on to. Read a book, go for a walk, go to the gym, anything to get your mind off of porn and masturbating.
Start a journal and write down all of your thoughts, especially when the urge to "misbehave" comes along. Later, go back and read over it. You'll soon see a pattern develop that will help you avoid certain triggers and situations. From that you can start to work towards dealing with it as soon as it happens.
Find a local support group to participate in, or an online accountability group. If you're interested, I can offer the addresses to several group sites.
The one site that really helped me was Higher-Calling
(www.higher-calling.com)
There is also Recovery Nation
(www.recoverynation.com)
and another site,Proven Men
(www.provenmen.org)
Also checkout the local and national sites for Sexaholics Anonymous and Sex Addicts Anonymous.
If I can help in any way, please let me know.
For me the two most important things were talking to somebody about my problem, and finding tasks to help me break away from my cycle of addiction.
We all have the strength to get through these problems, together we're stronger still.
If you feel comfortable with it, keep us up to date on how you're doing, and look back over your old posts from time to time to see how you've progressed.
You can do it :)
www.pureonline.com with Joe Dallas and do it. My husband did the program, very good. It has been 17 months and he is clean- wants nothing to do w/ porn.
He now loves and appreciates me so much more.
