First Post, Chiron

[Chiron]

Hi Everyone,
I browsed this site months ago and knew it was a good resource. I just decided to become an active member. I'm a 31-year-old male struggling with PA. I go through peroids of abstinence, but have lacked control lately. I have been with my current girlfriend for 5 years. I admitted my PA to her a couple of months ago, but she doesn't know that I've relapsed. I love her very much and we plan to have kids at some point. I know that my PA is very damaging to our relationship and I feel like it has come to the point where I have to deal with it and require help and support to do so. I can relate a lot to the Jekkyl and Hyde article. I am about to finish nursing school and am very compassionate toward my patients. I hate the guilt that my PA causes me. This is my second day of sobriety. Thanks for your support.

Hi and welcome Chiron,

I am your age, but I am a SO. My husband also comes here (not often enough).

I hope that you find support here, and I want to congratulate you for taking the first step by reaching out here - even though it was probably scary.

Onwards and upwards!

Welcome Chiron

You've made the important first step. Next thing to do is commit to it, keep coming back, keep posting and stay strong. PS is such a destructive thing but with the right support it can be beaten.

Good luck
