Hello all, my first step to recovery

[craigw79]

Hello everyone,

I have been viewing online P since its early days on bulletin boards! It has been a constant struggle throughout my life, and been a contributing factor in the loss of numerous relationships. Some days are better than others, but I am ready to give P up for a new healthy lifestyle. I no longer want it to control my every thought and action.

P for me has always been about the secretiveness and being selfish. This is my first step admitting that I have a problem, a serious one at that.

Today is my second day of being P free, and I hope that there will be many more to follow. In addition to me regularly visiting this website and becoming an active member, tomorrow I begin a P addiction support group in my home town.

I appreciate all of you and your struggles, and sincerely hope that together we can overcome our personal struggles.

Thank you all!

Howdy there! Congrats to you Sir! For, facing the facts and reaching out for help. You are on a road to a changed life, and I look forward to seeing you around here and, annoying you a bit with insights and obsessive-compulsive posting LOL

Anyway. Just wanted to welcome you. Check out the SO and PA journals for two very different perspectives. Much learning, knowledge, advice, support in those little gems.

Keep learning. Always.

Welcome, Craig.

I can say first hand its not a race, so 2 days is awesome and 2 days that you didn't have two days ago :-)

The group is awesome and inspirational, there are many people in your shoes, or that were in them two days ago :-)

Hope to see you around !

First of all, Welcome to TTF. You cant ask for a better place to be. I have only been on this site for a little over a month, but it has proven to be so much help to me in my addiction to porn. I am very glad that you are making steps to better yourself, and to make you a better person. But ridding yourself from P is not a easy road. but if you have the determination in your heart do free yourself, IT CAN BE DONE.

2 day for being porn free. that is great. it is a very good start. people who do not understand the dangers of porn in someones life, would say just 2 days??? thats no big deal. But to us addicts, 2 days is a milestone. isn't it great how much better you feel about yourself not viewing for 2 days? I want to say is that you please try to keep this up. never put yourself down if you are to slip. just keep going with this.. Read all you can from this site. see how others are fighting to overcome this problem that we all put ourself in to. I will be looking for more post from you my friend

Good luck in your recovery

Gerald

PS. GO TO THAT SUPPORT GROUP. I am going to SAA, and it has been very good for me. i love going there
