wssup y'all. I'm new in this forum but ive trying very hard to cleanse myself this year. So far im on my 13th day clean(im aiming for 6 months, its a big leap i know, but taking it one day at a time). Lately ive noticed something odd. Ive been eating more(it is so obvious.... its like when i just had lunch and then like 2-3hrs after that i can eat the same amount of food again) and it seems that ive developed a sweet tooth. Is this like the withdrawal symtoms? Have anyone ever experienced that?(hopefully im not alone) Depression can really make this problem worse, so im keeping myself busy doing things to keep me happy. Keep it up fellows, fight for what we know is right.

Well, I have not indulged in porn in about six hours. I have a group of friend and we get to together and watch porn. Today I decided I would make a change and try to do something new. I went to the park and enjoyed it very much. Is anyone out there struggling with porn and masturbating to it with other addicts as much as I am? Like, what's wrong with me?

Nothing is wrong with you. But I sense that you know that something is wrong with you and your friends' actions. You have made the first step, which is to admit that something is wrong. We have all been there. But now we're here, and were trying to change our lives? Have you ever talked to your friends about it? They might get defensive and angry, but you might make an impression or plant a seed. Hope you keep looking for something better than this addiction we all have dealt with to one degree or another. Babysteps, that how we got into this, and that's how we are going to get out of it.

I have made it 60 days! I haven't posted my daily progress because last time I did that I think the pressure got to me and I failed miserably on the 59th day! But then last night I was tempted to just look at a site quickly (almost, in a twisted sense, as a reward??). Thankfully, I did not give in. Since finding this site and some of particular individuals who have encouraged me and kept me accountable, I have dealt with some really deep issues in my life and my faith. I'm still dealing with them, but thanks guys for the support. Let's keep it up. To God be the glory.
