How porn has harmed me and my family
I've been viewing porn since I was 13, it started with my dads magzines,then on to video then internet.I got to the point where I viewed every kind of porn you could think of because the regular stuff wasn't working any more,animals,gay lesbian, anal ,child ,you name it. Finally I ended up in jail for viewing child porn.I've had 3 affairs and countless prostitutes because my wife wouldn't do what I was watching, my children put up ways to filter out the porn but I found ways around it. I was mandated to go to a sex offenders group. It worked for 4 years,after my time was up I started all over again. I'm still on paper so that means no porn whatsoever.I can't go back.It ruined my life. I ended up on Megans list even though I've never touched a child in my life and never intend to.Every day is a battle. My wife still supported me even after I got out of jail.She stayed true even though I didn't.She died in 2012 of a heart attack.She was 44 years old.Every once in a while I still mess up.This has to end for good.period. I support Porn Harms and Fight The New Drug.I want to help people like me.These 2 facebook sites educate people on the harms of porn.If I can last 4 years I can do better.Believe me it's worth it I have less than 3 months on paper, I don't want to blow it

Several days ago my husband confessed to me that he is addicted to porn and needs help. I thought he was really making an effort, but I found out tonight that he has still been looking at it, including today and yesterday, when I opened the internet browser on his phone and looked at the history right in front of him. When I confronted him about it he became angry at himself for not being "perfect," upset with me for "snooping on his phone" and being "too Biblical." I've been researching online and keep coming across horror stories about what this will do to a marriage. I already put filters/blocks on his phone, but apparently those didn't work, and ordered a book for him about dealing with pornography addiction. What would you suggest I do to help him? Thank you.
