Addiction
I am currently looking for a support/ accountability group on here. I have struggled with porn addiction from late elementary to about 6 months ago. I thought I would end the cycle from my father's addiction to it but it has also leaked into my marriage. I don't want to ever go down that path again but it's hard finding good accountability partners who will focus more on being whole, even though I did find a good therapist to work through my issues. I know how badly it has hurt my wife as well as my general health and mind and I'm just seeking a positive community.
@adaptableOcean1317 Heya. I unfortunately won't be able to help much but I just wanted to say I respect you for coming on here and being brave enough to be honest and open. You obviously care about your family to know you have a problem and admit it and try to find help. That is a big thing.
My ex used to watch porn a lot. To this day I cannot undress infront of my new partner as I'm too uncomfortable with my own body. It's more a me problem. But my ex used to watch it so much it made me feel inadequate.
Just try and remember that your wife loves you and she will always be there for you. The porn is there for a quick thing so to speak. I don't know how strong your wife is but it might be affecting her mental health.
Make sure you both talk and make sure she knows how much you love her. Which I'm sure you've already done.
I'm sorry I can't offer full advice on what to do, but I hope you find support and help your marriage.
Thank you so much! I definitely make sure to remind her but I'm sure it does effect her still. I do know how I would probably feel if the shoe was on the other foot, and don't want her to feel that way again. I do appreciate her love through all of this. I also will keep you in prayer as well from your past experience. Thank you again! & Blessings!
Hey! I'm available to talk!
🙏🏿 thank you!
In the same boat, maybe me can help each other.
Sending love and peace on your journey friend.
