Introducing ourselves

[TheFoolishFurry]

Hey everyone, I'm TheFoolishFurry. I'm 19 years old and I've been a member for a while now. But due to my schedule I haven't had a lot of time to come on here recently. I've been addicted to P since I was...either 16 or 17, I honestly can't remember when it all started but it's been going on for a while. It's also had a negative impact on my faith in God. It got to a point that going to church became almost painful. This site is very helpful, it's probably the best site I ever joined.

Hey, I'm JDM. I'm 17, and I guess I've been a PA since....oh I think at the age of 12. Maybe 13, I can't quite remember.

I'm still in high school, this is my last year. More than anything I want to give up P, and even MB. I'm not sure which will be tougher

Over the last two years I've met several girls, all great friends, but I've always been to afraid to take it any farther because of my PA. I was always afraid, and still am, that they wouldn't accept me the same because of what I do. I don't have much of a social life, but over the past month that has changed and I'm getting better at getting out, but still have troubles dealing with P.

Today's the first day I joined (10-4-08) and I hope more than anything it's not my only one here.

Hiya JFM! I sure hope things have gotten better since you joined up! There are quite alot of people in your age group (16-25) so you won't be lonely. Anyway all of the people here are crazy good in one way or another Good luck!

Hello! I'm 18 and I've been addicted for about 4-5 years now. I used to only search for P when I was left home alone but ever since I got my own laptop it has spiraled out of control. The last week has been the absolute worst. This last weekend for instance I was home alone for almost the whole day Saturday and the whole time I was on the internet feeding my addiction. (Except for a 30 minute lunch) I have finally realized what I am doing and have ended up here.

I also did a fairly large introduction here.

Hi everyone, so glad I found this place. I am a 25yo male and have been an addict since at least the age of 16. However, it has become much worse since I have been in college over the last several years. Each new living arrangement has had me thinking, "oh, in the dorms I won't be able to look at porn so often." "Moving into the fraternity house will make it stop." "Having a roommate will quell this madness." Like all addicts, I have always found a way to feed the addiction. No living arrangement will make it stop. I realize that I must make it stop from with my own resolve. My beautiful girlfriend of over 3 years knows about the problem, but doesn't completely understand it. God only knows why she is still with me. I am so grateful that I have found this site so I can discuss this with others struggling with the same vise.

I've wandered around the site and stumbled upon this. It's great to have specialized subforums for different age groups, it'll definitely make this more effective. I'm also, in a way, glad to see that there are many people here, but I'm also not glad about it because it means that this problem is getting more and more widespread...

I'm 23, from Serbia, and when I analyse my situation, I can say that I've been addicted for ten yrs now. Unfortunately, I've only realised it recently, but now that I know what I'm facing, I'm gaining more and more resoluteness and I'm not letting it pull me back in again. I'll start writing a diary one of these days so I could elaborate

Regards, and never give up the struggle for a righteous cause!
