recovered sex addict dealing with sexual issues

when i was a kid, i watched porn. In high school. I was the kid that you wouldn't want to sit or stand next to, in a crowded train. One time when I was with my sister, I wrote some stuff to my sister's roommate, where my sister then evicted me from the house. I spent about 2 months being homeless. I spent my last teenage year in a psych ward.


So my sexuality has been an issue. I continued watching porn though, and kept privately communicating with women where I'd get blocked by them. At some points I felt like committing suicide. So I stopped watching porn and overcame my porn addiction. Proudest accomplishment. Some people don't believe me when I say I quit porn. I don't blame them as I didn't believe I could stop myself. But I did, many years ago.

I've also stopped privately messaging women, and redirected my efforts towards publicly communicating with them. this second accomplishment made sexting near impossible, as the public could investigate and comment on my communications.

I still struggle with small sexual issues, now and then; and I guess I'll disclose them here, from time to time. But I'm happy that I've overcome my sex addiction.
