Sexual, Masturbation and Porn Addiction Help Forum

I am in the process of getting a divorce from a 20 year marriage. The marriage is not breaking up because of the divorce. But I did start viewing and then masturbating to porn about 11 years ago. It was a gradual thing and over the last 3-4 years I go in spurts where I will do it once a day for about a week or two and then go 2-3 days up to 2-3 weeks without viewing porn or masturbating.

I know it's an addiction because it seems like I have to do it once a day. I don't do it more than that which is the confusing part.

It started when my marriage was failing and it continued as the marriage got worse. I'm not blaming my wife because this was all on me. Bottom line is I was searching for something to replace the intimacy that I wasn't getting at home.

I have not sought treatment but now I need to. I don't want to live like this anymore. There's no possibility for reconciliation with my wife because frankly we are better people to our kids and families and we simply let our marriage go on too long.

I need help. Does anyone have advice?
