Hello all, I found this site and decided it would be a good idea to join. I have had a problem with p and mb for a long time now, maybe 15+ years. I struggle with both constantly and I am just tired of living life like this. Hurting my wife and family and just not being a good person like I should be. I had a good counselor for a while but he had to move about 100 miles away and I was making progress with him but it has been about 6 months now since he left and I have just slipped back into a bad routine. My wife knows about my problems and we have had fights over it, I even got kicked out of the house for a month because of it. We have been working together on it but I need some support from someone who has been there with the same issues and can maybe guide me in the right direction to finally get rid of this curse.

Thanks

JJ,

Hello and welcome to TTF.

The first step is admitting you have a problem and you have done that. There are some great articles and references here, please check them out. Many PAs and SOs keep journals, I would advise you to look into some of them and then start your own.

Also, perhaps your wife would be interested in joining. We have an awesome group of SOs on the site who will give support to her.

Best wishes on your recovery - you can do this!
