Well I better say hello and introduce myself.My name is Jono, I'm 47, married and live in the UK. I first opened a porn mag aged just 12 and have been hooked ever since. Despite many attempts at giving up I am still hooked. Joining BG is hopefully going to help although I'm skeptical as to how a internet based help group is going to be of benefit. I've lied all my life, about porn, and wonder how honest I'm going to be here when it comes to accountability. only time will tell.Today, as they say, is the first day of the rest of my life ........

Jono – Welcome we are glad you are here. And you are right today is the first day of the rest of your life. Sharing what you are feeling and how you have struggled in the past is every important for the accountability section. My husband struggled with admitting he had an issue for a long time, he would also “lieâ€, sometimes I believe he convinced himself they were “truthsâ€. Once he decided he really wanted to walk with the Lord, when he lied he became convicted and he knew he was being held accountable. Jono, where are you in your walk with the Lord? Do you know that your sins are forgiven and you are loved? Maybe you are here so you do not feel alone or judged; maybe God wants you to know and see his work and bring you close to him

I've been a christian most of my life. I know what's right and true in my mind but seem to have a problem knowing it in my heart. I've seen God move in my life in the past and hope that he will move in my life again. What I really need is a reliable accountability partner. someone who'll hold me to account. I've approached a friend before but after praying for me he's never ask me how I'm doing. Now I feel that nobody is going to help and why should I trust anybody anyway?You asked where I'm at, I hope this gives you an idea.Jono

Thanks Jono, I can relate is some ways. I found it hard to trust as well a while back. When my husband and I went through the process of trying to heal our marriage, trust was not something I found easy to do, until I finally trusted that the Lord loved me no matter what and as long as I trusted him, I would be ok. Even great! With that I started to trust others, including my husband. Mike has some great sources to find support groups in other areas. The web-site has a way to find and start groups. I am praying that you find a group as well as the prayers and support from us here.
