It is with great regret that I've been a PA most of my life and never realized that I had an addiction. I thought I was just a normal male with a private "hobby" that didn't effect anyone but me. My addiction cost me two marriages, yet I didn't realize that the cause was my own addiction. While I'm much older now, I do not have intense urges I once had, but I'm still a PA. Now that I realize that I'm not just another guy with an attraction to porn, and that I am addicted, I am making a dedicated effort to kick the habit. Wish me luck.

Welcome to TTF.
You will see that you will get much needed Encouragement and Support here. This is the first step to get you closer to a Porn free life

As you already know, porn is only good for a few things. It takes away the ability to be a real Man, a true Man, that we want to be. It also, will destroy a relationship real fast.

The one thing that we need to do, to rid ourself from this, is a damn good recovery plan. If you havent thought about one to use, you cant wait any longer to do. It must be done now. Once you get a plan in order, work it, work it as hard as you can. But if you find that it isn't working for you, then, make changes in it. do this until you find one that truly will work.

You will soon see that you will need to make many changes in your life. It dosent matter if you been doing something for many years, if it will allow you to give in to P, then it needs to be out of your life.

We can never hide from this addiction. It is always around us. so please be aware of anything that may cause you to be triggered, and allow you to give in.

You are at the very beginning of a long road, and this road is bumpy and full of my pothole that you will hit as you travel on it . but it can get smoother, if you fight hard to get rid of this addiction

I encourage you to come here often, and read through others journals. this way you can see there struggles, and what they are doing to fight this addiction. Also, it would be good if you start your own journal here, so we can read what you are going through, and we can see how we may be able to help you

You can do this my friend. there is a lot of people here to support you. I am 54 years old, with many years of this crap built up in my body. but for the first time in over 30 years, I am over 3 months free from this.

I wish you the best in your recovery

SeniorPA, I just joined a few days ago and I am glad that you are seeking help like I am. I am a forty-something father of three, and I am fighting to keep my family intact. I lost my first marriage due to my addiction, and I have come really close to losing my second as well. So much is at stake, and I am very grateful to have this chance to make a change. Your story helped reinforce the knowledge that this addiction will never give up as long as I keep feeding it. It also gave me hope that it is Never too late to make a change for the better! I am rooting for you and sending you my best wishes for strength and resolve in your recovery. I'm right here with you!
