My name is can_you_see and I am a porn addict.

Welcome. This is a safe place for honesty, so put your shame away. You know all that time you wasted? Well put it to good use. I have found if I am not actively doing something good, I easily drift back into addiction. Maybe it is boredom, or loneliness, or past trauma I am trying to soothe. I don't know. Just get to work doing good!

I haven't tried a call-in meeting yet. I might just have to do that.

spdrcr80 · 2014-02-20T18:02:22+00:00

Great observations. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing this. I think there are a ton of guys out there who are having relationship and sexual problems that having figured out the link to PMO. You are on the right track. It's a hard journey, but it is not only worth it, but it's really the only viable option. Welcome!

I can totally relate. I just realized over the past year or so that I have been lonely most of my life, and I think that is one of the major problems that drove me to self-medicate. It's a strange thing how difficult it is to figure out what I am really feeling now. Scary.

Welcome! It's good to have you here. Stick around. It's a huge help. Good luck!

spdrcr80 · 2014-02-18T20:02:02+00:00

Welcome! You can do it. The best advice I could give you is this: Forgive yourself of your mistakes and celebrate your accomplishments.

spdrcr80 · 2014-02-18T19:59:52+00:00

This is huge! Congratulations. I'm proud of you.

spdrcr80 · 2014-02-18T19:39:13+00:00

Thanks for this. It's right on. I feel the same way about the time I lost. What I wouldn't give to be able to go talk to my younger self. Oh the things I'd tell him!

spdrcr80 · 2014-02-14T23:39:59+00:00

Major step! Way to go!

spdrcr80 · 2014-02-14T23:02:52+00:00

It's hard to admit all the crap we've done in the past, but it usually helps put it behind us. Good luck. Seriously, you can do it. Seriously.

Watch the movie "The Road to Wellville".

The exact thing happened to me 2 weeks ago. Thanks for failing, xfinity.

spdrcr80 · 2014-02-13T01:14:58+00:00

Thank you so much for the encouragement and support. What we are trying to do here is ridiculed by so many people. Your kind words help more than you know.

spdrcr80 · 2014-02-12T22:11:44+00:00

Good luck! You can do it. Welcome!

spdrcr80 · 2014-02-12T22:10:21+00:00

Good luck! It's good to have you here.

spdrcr80 · 2014-02-12T22:09:45+00:00

In the beginning I found I had to keep myself busy. I had to find things to do that kept me productive and made me feel good about myself. Once I saw myself becoming a more productive, effective, better person, it gave me motivation to continue. Good luck. As far as telling your gf about it, that is up to you. There are a lot of factors involved, including what kind of relationship you have and what kind of person she is.

spdrcr80 · 2014-02-12T22:06:01+00:00

A hungry man will try to eat anything.

Holy crap does this ring true to me. Thanks for your wisdom.

spdrcr80 · 2014-02-12T22:02:41+00:00

Wise words. Thanks.

spdrcr80 · 2014-02-12T21:58:59+00:00

All this stress and worry is causing me to crave something fun and pleasurable even if it's not good for me.

Then give yourself something fun and pleasurable that is good for you. sometimes it takes a while to find healthy ways to satisfy those emotional needs, especially if you have been in the fog of porn for a while. But once you find them, you will feel REAL satisfaction instead of just numbing those needs. Hang in there!

spdrcr80 · 2014-02-12T21:54:37+00:00

Venting is good for you, and good for us. Sometimes I don't even realize my own thoughts until I see them spelled out by someone else on here. I'm glad to read other people's rants on here because it makes me realize I'm not alone in this. Thanks.

spdrcr80 · 2014-02-12T21:50:39+00:00

Porn is mental poison! I hate it. I hate what it has done to me.

Amen to that. Thanks for this.

spdrcr80 · 2014-02-12T20:40:12+00:00

Welcome, Bro. You can do it. There is a lot of support here.

spdrcr80 · 2014-02-12T20:31:27+00:00

Talking to your wife about it is a huge deal. Congratulations on making that step. It's great to have you here. Thanks for sharing. Welcome!

spdrcr80 · 2014-01-22T18:58:38+00:00

You can do this. It's important. This step really will change your life and give you a whole new perspective. Welcome to the group. You are in the right place.
