Ask me if I kept my walk
I struggle with a porn addiction and excessive self gratifying behavior. 7 Cups has been a blessing and I seek to bless others.
If you see this post, no matter when, today, tomorrow, next year, please ask me to share where I am in my journey out of the darkness.
Hold me accountable. Thank you.

keep going ........ and update us .... not just for us... but writing it down make you see how far you have come.
@CatDaddy60 You got this! Sending good vibes and rooting for you!
Thanks tiger and twisted, today was mostly a good day. Compared to three days ago it was a great day. Tomorrow will be even better, I'm taking it one day at a time.
@CatDaddy60 I'm glad today was mostly good and I hope tomorrow is just amazing for you!
Avoided two stumbles though clearly was trying my best to fall down. But I didn't.
@CatDaddy60 I'm glad you caught yourself! I hope today is a good day for you!

Hi CatDaddy! 😊 ❤️
Thank you for your forum post! That must have taken a great deal of courage and I admire you! ❤️
While I don't struggle with what it is that you do, I find your bio as well as your forum post incredibly impressive! Ahhhhh, my friend, you are stronger than you think! Based on your forum post, your bio, you are taking a great first step in holding yourself accountable! 💡
Thank you for joining 7 cups and for being a part of the team! You have come to the right place. By showing vulnerability, you are showing your strength as well as being an amazing example for others that it's okay to share and to seek support. My sincere hope is that others may come by your forum post, root you on in your journey and or seek comfort by being here with you as well.
Well done! 😊

hi CatDaddy60.
Where are you in your journey towards a brighter place?
Hi Kat, thanks for asking.
Today has been a day when I have not let things overtake me. I'm discovering New Perspectives on my issues. Helping me to recognize the difference between what is a problem and what is not, and how what is not a problem can be related to what is a problem. I felt like some weight was taken off me as I'm working through those thoughts.
@CatDaddy60
Hey. How was today's progress?
So far, so good. Started to drift onto a slippery slope, but recovered. Being active at work is a good thing.
Thanks for asking Bloom!
Hi there,
I struggle with the exact same thing. It’s a *** of a disease, addiction is.
Where are you in your journey?
@easyMoon4237 thank you for asking. Over the last few days I've managed to get myself to a place where I'm not overly consumed. I had two episodes yesterday where I started down the path of looking for some online material but then veered away from consummating the Act so to speak. That was a pretty big step because normally the power of my addiction is so great that I can't stop it. But I did. That has given me power back.
@CatDaddy60 Hello, how did today go?
Hi, Lovely. So far, today has been a day on the right path. I have actually had a couple of days that I tried to veer off onto that other path but didn't feel like I had the energy! Strange blessing to feel that way, but I am grateful for it.
Last night I responded to someone else on here with the same struggle and was able to give advice based on what I have done that help, i.e. help yourself avoid things by turning on safe search filter in your browser. You can try to outsmart yourself by turning off the filter, but it is a deliberate effort and one more step that gets in your way to make you think about it.
@CatDaddy60 I completely understand you. I've struggled with the same thing since I was 8. I know... I was very, very young. I admire your reflection and accountability. You can do this! 💙
Thanks Lindor! All the best in your walk.
Where are you in your journey right now?
Hi Lena, thank you for asking. In a good day. Have not stepped off the path, and spent all day out with my wife. Peace.
@CatDaddy60 Sounds like a good day!
