My struggle with pornography addiction

I struggled with a pornography addiction for over 20 years. I did this in secret, hidden from everyone I knew. This nearly life-long addiction made a profound impact on my life. In the depths of my struggle, I didn't understand why I could not stop. I did not know who to turn to, where to go, or what to do. I carried a significant burden of shame and guilt for so long.

Thankfully, I finally found the help I needed to begin recovering from this deadly addiction to porn. I have been porn-free and living in recovery now for more than 5 years and I have never been more healthy and alive.

But it wasn't easy for me to get here. There were many years of trial and error. False starts. Mistakes. Stumbling around. Trying so hard to overcome addiction on my own. And the journey is far from over. Getting to the bottom of my addiction uncovered new insights into other parts of my life.

My hope is that by sharing my experience and what I've learned over many years, I can help someone overcome their struggle and avoid a life-long, catastrophic addiction to porn. Exiting my comfort zone, becoming vulnerable and telling the truth about myself would all be worth it if I can help someone else overcome a pornography addiction.

Do you struggle with pornography? Do you carry a crushing weight of shame? Do you have no one to turn to? I am here. I will listen. Send me a note at hello@layhold.xyz.
