Hello,
I am a 30 year porn addict, who was hopelessly addicted to porn especially in the last 15 years. I discovered YBOP and watched Gabe's video, seeing and hearing Gabe's story gave me the first hope I had in a long time that I could break free. I had just finished a PMO binge and was in total despair. After watching Gabe's video for the first time on February 17, 2014, I went over to the YBR site and setup a journal and poured my heart and soul into this endeavor of getting myself clean once and for all from PMO, MO, and M. I made a concerted effort to stay away from the triggers and stimuli that led to my falling into a PMO. And I made a concerted effort to fight the temptations and urges every time they hit.
It was through the grace of God and all the great forum board members at YBR that I finally felt for the first time I wasn't alone in this battle. I had the support, advice, and friendship of other PMO addicts who were on the same journey as me, no longer was I battling this fight alone. Well, my story of despair has turned to one of victory. This once daily PMO addict has been clean for 18 days since seeing Gabe's video and joining YBR. This has been the longest period I have been free from PMO since 1999. You can read more details on my story and my struggles and victories of the last 18 days free from PMO at YBR:

It has been a tough journey however the chains of this addiction have broken, and I am seeing the benefits every day I continue on this journey and each progressive day my life feels more complete. I'd be a fool to think it will be smooth sailing from now, because there will still be temptations and urges but I am much better equipped to fight them now. And the once almost unstoppable allure of these urges and temptations has turned into only just a nuisance. I look forward to sharing on this board, my insights and struggles in this journey to free myself from PMO forever.
And if a hopeless PMO addict like myself can break free so can you, please don't give up hope and never give up this fight. You can do it, you can beat this addiction.
