Let me start out by saying that I am not over the addiction, and I don't know if I will ever be, but I am doing quite well over the past 2-3 weeks which is a first.

I however was kind of different. I am a strong believer in the Christian faith and since I always felt it to be so wrong I didn't allow it to affect my actual thoughts of women as much as possible, which is why the images don't really resurface for me when I am around my girlfriend now. I don't even associate them with her therefore they shouldn't. Of course I am not going to be sexually active til marriage (Old school values), but still. My battle became merely an addiction and less of a sexual thing, which makes it harder to stop in my opinion but helps when you truly do.

Since I know how hard it is to stop, I thought I might suggest a book on here if anyone doesn't mind reading a Christian book. It's called "Sex God" by Rob Bell and it changed my thoughts a TON. The way I love people, treat people, and even understand myself. It really makes it clear that you have to put your energy into something else to fill up that void, probably not even sexual. I am putting that partially into my new girlfriend which is why it is going so well

I just felt I needed to pop in and give my two cents. Thanks for listening and GL stopping the images, I know it's not easy.
