So I've came to the conclussion that I have an addiction problem(FINALLY.) I've struggled with porn addiction since I was 12 (age i stopped being sexually abused) but never considered it an addiction. Recently it's gotten to the point where i meet up with up to 4 girls a day, even one right after the other. It makes me feel gross and disgusting, I hate it, it's like I'm never satisfied. I can watch porn up to 7am with no sleep at all, it gets painful after awhile but I still keep going?? I tried going to go therapy but I can never get myself to be truly honest out of shame. Is there anyone who has any advice/recommendation on what I can do to get this under control?? I tell myself I wont go to meet anyone but I always end up going either way.

@ItsHayden23 Hey Hayden, it is lovely to have you here with us. Denial is a major issue, so I am proud that you are admitting your addiction. That take so much courage! I'm so sorry about your struggles. Yes, a key part of successful therapy is honesty; you demonstrate great self awareness which is key towards recovery. How do you cope with your emotions/thoughts?

We have a resource sub-forum if you'd like to check it out. Here is the link: Resources for Addiction
