Porn and Masturbation addiction

bluePenguin1201 January 5th

I think I have finally come to terms with it and being honest to myself about. I knew I had a problem with it but never admitted to myself that it was an addiction. Ive had it for about 10 or so years and its gotten to the point where its affected my relationships and Im finally ready to admit it and get help. I don't know how that will go but I think being able to say and admit it is a big step for me

Acknowledging and admitting that you have a challenge, especially when it comes to something as personal as an addiction, is a courageous step. It takes self-awareness and strength to confront it openly. Recognizing the impact on your relationships and expressing a willingness to seek help is a powerful commitment to your well-being. Taking that first step towards admitting the issue and being open to getting help is a crucial part of the healing process. It's a positive sign of your determination to make positive changes in your life. Many people find that reaching out for support, whether from friends, family, or professionals, can make a substantial difference in their journey toward recovery.

Being able to reflect on this. How do you feel about this addiction and how do you find it affects you the most?

@Jenna Thank you for the message! I just felt like I no longer had control of things and I was starting to be unproductive and self loathing as well as my relationship has been taking a hit as a result so definitely something needed to change. I feel ashamed sometimes as I realised a problem and addiction and not really something I like about myself but now that ive realised that its a real problem I am determined to work on it as I am getting help for it

@quietfallguy87 Everything around me just seemed to come crashing down and I could pinpoint the addiction being the problem. I started to feel lazy and demotivated and also my relationship was and has taken a big hit because of it
