Dear Journal,
My name Mike and I'm addicted to pornography, masturbation and orgasms. I'm 31 years old and have been addict for 18 years. Two-thirds of my life has predominantly revolved around searching for and acting out to neverending and increasingly aggressive forms of pornography. This is the life I've become accustomed too and dreadfully the only life I know. Now I am desperately seeking change. I no longer want to rely on pornography as a coping mechanism and stress reliever. I just want to be normal.
I've turned to this board before on numerous occasions but have never been successful; however, I find myself inspired after reading various uplifting success stories. Additionally, understanding the science behind the addiction is vital. Your Brain on Porn was an insightful and motivating read that has instilled in me the confidence to obliterate my demons. I am looking forward to starting a new chapter of my life.
That said, today I embark on a new exciting journey, one which will no doubt be arduous and challenging but ultimately worth the happiness awaiting me at the finish line. Please feel free to reach out with tips or tricks. Any and all advice is appreciated.
Signed,
ML
