addiction updates - Starting a journey
Hi everyone. I’m a first time user of the site, but thought it would be good to start a journal of my recovery journey to hopefully inspire others.
I’ve been fighting porn and gambling addictions for several years. I’m 28 and can honestly say these were a big part of my adult life. I’m now married and I must make these changes to become the husband I know I can be.
Today starts the recovery. I hope you’ll follow along and encourage me. I could use all the well wishes and prayer for me.
You got this brotha💪. The devil wants us to be cheaters and sex addicts so he can ruin great relationships sent from Father God in Heaven. Don't let him win, I believe in u and me and all the other people out there struggling. Another day, to be grateful.
Thank you man! I appreciate that more than you know and you’re absolutely right. God deserves so much more from an unworthy person such as me. Hope you have a great day!

Day one! After a long night’s sleep, drinking my coffee and going to game a little bit before cleaning up
Vacation next week super excited about that. Fun time planned ahead
These temptations have been at the forefront of my earthly flesh, but God is sovreign and in control of all things. He hates my sin and I know it’s wrong to do. I need prayer and support to get through this day and all days…
Day one update!
It’s been a good day overall. Ive stayed away from and began to delete/get rid of triggers. I’ve gamed a lot and enjoyed this saturday.
Almost to vacation! Very excited about our trips we have planned.
Happy Lord’s Day. Very thankful for day three of recovery. I’ll get into more detail. Read Acts 8:26-40. The Ethopian Eunuch’s Confession and belief. Have a great day
Good morning everyone. Starting day three of my recovery journey today. I said I would give a better update than I did yesterday morning but just got sidetracked during the day.
I’m off work this week and next in preparation for our vacation. Going to DC for the 4th and the outer banks for a week after that. Wife has never been to either so thats exciting
I need to continue in prayer and continue facing my addiction head on if I don’t want my body to rule my life. Primal instincts. I have a sharp mind, but always seem to let the body do the talking when I want to have my mind seek refuge from the world. I had a decent childhood that was traumatized by some fairly major shakeups. Parents divorced. House burned down. All right at 14-15 years old. Hanging around bad influences. Parents struggling with a semi problematic 13 year old. I know they loved us, and I don’t want to throw too much blame because i’m sure parenting is the hardest thing anyone can do.
Idk how I got off on this. Oh yeah, being honest and facing my addiction head on.
Prayers for you all today. Keep me in yours!

Day three and four updates. Been fairly busy the last few days so the triggers have been less. I’ve just been avoiding it at all costs while facing it to myself really for the first time. One day at a time.
Vacation this week. I’ll still try and post updates throughout the trip.
Please continue in prayer for me, and I will for you all.
