Porn Addiction Mentor
Hi everyone, Im almost 25,this is the first time that i have actually begun seeking help for my pornogrpahy addiction problem for many many years. Im religious and going to church after viewing porn is just tearing me up inside. I can't keep living a lie, and i dont want to see my ecclesiastical leader because I fear that it would be very embarrasssing to have to announce that I'm addicted to pornography.
I've been addicted for years. Mostly its hard for me when Im alone, or at night and my laptop is near and I somehow end up watching porn and masturbating. I've never talk about this stuff with anyone before.
My father passed last year and i find myself sometimes just looking at porn because Im depressed. Or board ....I've tried to get over it on my own time and time again...ive found that self will power is hard to keep doing.
*****I scratch your back, you scratch mine*****
I was wondering if it could be possible to have someone like a pen pal or an accountability partner to send a message to each week...someone whom I can make commitments to, share my struggles with and victories. Someone that would actually respond and I would respond back to them to help them...
Does anyone have any advise? I just dont know what to do anymore

Hey Anthony. I need some help
Hey Anthony.
I need some help myself. Every once in a while I try to quit masturbating to pictures of girls and porn but I somehow end up back doing it. Somehow recently something clicked in my mind, and I dont know how to explain it: I just went 23 days without looking up any pictures or videos on the internet of a pornographic nature. I really want to keep rolling with this because I know it is going to get harder into my 2nd and 3rd month and so on. I keep saying to myself that I want to go 6 months, but knowing me that seems impossible. I know one day I am going to be bored or stressed or lonely and I am going to look something up on the internet. But I know I can't because i will end up right back where I started like I have before. In the past year or two I have tried going a few days without porn but then I look it up again and can't stop doing it everyday for a whole week! Its like something hijacks my mind and I dont want that to happen anymore. I am tired of being lonely, shy, no freinds, no girlfreinds, etc. I am 30, and I have had this problem since I was maybe 16 or so. It sucks to feel like a quiet loser everyday of your life.
Helping out
Hello to everyone reading this. I know how you feel it is really hard. I think the advice that i can give to you is keep the temptation as far away as you can. In the original post you said that your comupter is close and you end up looking.....So keep it in another room where you cant just grab it. In the comment you talk about masterbating to pictures of girls....well keep the pictures far away and avoid them like the plague cause that is what it is. Did you know that it only takes 21 days to develop a habit even if that habit is breaking one. Now I am not saying that your temptations are going to go away after 21 days but guess what it becomes alot easier. Remember that you are only as strong as you say you are. Dont take all the credit for your action because as soon as you start thinking that you have beaten it all the way you will find that it has even more power because you thought that you have beaten it. Remember that this will be a lingering problem forever but it is easier and easier each day that you say you will beat it today. Dont set a goal of months set a goal of the day and acheive that. I think that alot of the problems that people run into is setting goals too far above their abilities cause this is just like a drug and you want it so so bad but if you can beat it one day at a time then you are winning.
Keep your head up and moving forward and you have already won the race!!!
