it hit me yesterday like a brick
the reason for my 17 years of server depression..two failed marriages..every wasted job/education opportunity was porn addition i am 35 years old now..father to a kid from my first marriage..my educational achievement is a lowly high school certificate..i have a low-paid job that i don't like and that's about it so..what good is this discovery for me? i already started porn addiction self therapy just 3 days ago but as i type these words..i feel very hollow from the inside..like a dead man walking just this morning i was struck with a panic attack so powerful it knocked the socks out of me and i spent the rest of my day feeling like an empty shell during which committing suicide sounded like a very reasonable/logical idea what would you do in my shoes? whats the point of moving on? why should i bother? will i experience happiness again? |

It's never too late. The freedom you get from ridding yourself of porn addiction will bring you gratification. You can find happiness again. You are still young. Don't give up.

Hey helpless. When I went to see a therapist the priorities where things like sleep & reducing stress. It seems to mee that it's a good place to start. That way you can better handle everything else that's overwhelming you. How is your sleep habits? Do you drink coffee? I always sleep better if I avoid caffeine entirely.

I am in your shoes!! I'm addicted to porn, lust, suicidal thinking, and a variety of other things. Helpless, not all is lost!! There is a way out, I would seek a caring addiction T, and seek out some form of an AA, SA, SSA, or ARP program. You may feel different but all addiction is the same!!

AA stands for alcoholics anonymous. SA stands for sexaholic anonymous. And the last one is SAA (I switched this around) stands for Sex Addicts Anonymous. Each one is for addiction of a different type based on the 12 steps of recovery.
