Once an addict, always an addict, but one can become smart ***** and out smart the addiction!!
I completely agree with you!

I have gone almost a year except those two slip up I had this year. It been a struggle to fight against. I had to first acknowledged that I had a problem and them I had to open up about this problem. Just talking to other people about this problem has help me in many ways.

For me, I am hoping DBT skills will be helpful. I know it will be helpful!!

Also like SAA, good healthy coping skills and habits help to make the time go faster. And they help emotional as well!!
I just simply read my Bible.

Just Curious - Where in the U.S. is it illegal to watch porn? I've never heard that before.

I too am addicted to watching porn too and masturbation is the only way i can release my stress. Then my nephew moved in and that all stopped. he is moving out Monday so i can resume self soothing myself!! Sometimes i do it 3 times a day and thats a lot for a woman, but not a broken, damaged woman. i wont go out and have sex with anyone. so thats what i do, it is my version of safe sex.

You're not alone.
I'm equally addicted to porn and masturbation.
I came here to find help.
I hope I get it.
