first post - Hi everyone

[freetobeme]

Hi, This is a very nice website, I'm grateful that it exists an that there's so many people working hard to get over their addiction. I was exposed to P around the age of 10. And have been into it ever sense. That's 20 years of strengthening and feeding this habit that now has control of me. It's a weird sensation to feel like I don't have the control to stop being a PA. I've been trying to get over it for years. I know its wrong, and it's hurts my life and the people around me. Each time I think I've conquered it, the urge comes on so strong it's unstoppable. I can usually go about 2-3 weeks without looking at P. I can talk myself out of it for that long. But the urge build and builds. I want to learn how to gain control of my own mind and go beyond this addiction. I'd appreciate any advice or strategies.

Thanks,
:D
