Attempt One - Day One

Hello. Like millions of men on this Earth, I have an addiction to pornography. Some men welcome the addiction, but most seem to realize that it's not a good thing. It's unfair to girlfriends, wives, platonic friends, God, and - most importantly - yourself. I first started looking at porn about six years ago. At one point I couldn't stop myself from looking at it daily. Now it's only once a week or so, but I just can't seem to kick the habit. Other than this addiction, I've had healthy relationships with girls. My wife knows about it and wants to help me, but right now I prefer to remain anonymous.

The purpose of this blog is to journal my battle against porn. I'm hoping it will give me something to actively direct me in the right way. I'm also hoping to find others struggling with the same problem. Feel free to comment on my blog or e-mail me at quittingforgood@live.com. You'll notice that the title of this blog is "Attempt One - Day One." This is not my first attempt to quit, but is my first day blogging. This blog will continue, updated daily (or as close to it as I can), until I can last an entire year without porn. Some blogs will be short, some a little longer. The longest I've gone without porn so far is about four months. Since then, I gave up. I'm not giving up this time.

God and my family are the most important things in my life. I can never repay them for the sins I've committed on the Internet, but from this point forward, I intend to never disappoint them in that way again. Thanks for reading, and if you're struggling with similar problems and want someone to talk to, I'll be available.

May God Bless

  1. Hello,
    Nice to see that I'm not the only married man who struggles with this. I'll be praying for you and myself as we try to kick this bad habit.
