I’m an addict

It has taken me a long time to admit this to myself, but it’s true.

I’m addicted to pornography.

There. I said it. I have found that since I faced this fact, my life – and my recovery – have improved.

I know there are a lot of people out there just like me. The world we find ourselves in has made it possible.

As most other addicts of pornography, I have spent a fair amount of time on the Internet. Let’s just say, I know my way around these tubes. I have also blogged before. This blog will be different, however. I will be keeping things anonymous. Kind of like a window into my mind where I will spill my thoughts onto your screen. Hopefully this will initiate some conversation in the comments section of each post.

I have been attending a 12-step program since May, 2009. This has saved my life. It has saved my marriage. It has changed me.

I also have a sponsor. Someone who has traveled this road ahead of me and is there to guide me along the way.

There is hope. I do not have to give in to the temptations of my addiction. I am living, breathing proof that you can be set free from your addiction. Granted, I will always be an addict. I will always have this cross to bear. But I do not have to succumb to the temptation.

One day at a time.
