My name is Dustin and I have to admit that I never been one to share the darkest parts of my past. I grew up in a broken home where my father was hardly around (I understand why when I look at how unhealthy my mother is as a human being). I love my mother but she is a recovery alcoholic with a lot of emotional issues. When I was 6 or 7 I was staying at my moms house with my brother and that's when I was molested. All I can really remember is being pressed against a wall and him behind me. I'm not sure about anything else after that because I blacked a lot of it out.
From that moment on I think I was always confused and I understood sex in a way no child should. I remember hanging out with a friend after that and we would explore not really knowing what we were doing. I look back and it makes me sad. This disappeared for a while and then I found porn, chat rooms, you name it I found it. I'm naturally a curious person and that was the worst place to be curious. I had my first encounter with a man at 16 and off and on until I was 28. It was never a constant thing but something very periodic.
About two years ago I started going back to church when I started feeling lost and doing drugs and still subject to the same old patterns. Porn, masterbate, Craigslist, what ever I could do to fill this hole. I ended up stopping for awhile but the cycle always seems to come back.
I just long for This to go away and live for Jesus but I know I can't until I get this under control. Thank you guys.

Welcome to BG. I am sorry to hear you had such a hard childhood. It always saddens me to hear that someone else experienced what I myself went thru. I have heard and read about both men and women that have been delivered from same sex attractions and also about those walking out a celibate lifestyle and living for Christ. So it is possible. I have a busy morning so I have to get going but I will link you some information this afternoon. Keep drawing closer to God...that is the main thing needed to break this addiction/sin.

Dustin,
I'm really glad that you are here. So many men can relate to your story, but shame and fear keep them from sharing. You have great courage, my friend. Thank you for joining us. SSA has not been represented very well in the Christian circles and it's about time we address it. And I can see God doing great things through you. Just stay plugged in. Build your relationship with God and you relationship with friends here. Speaking of friends, I look forward to being one of them.
