Hey Everyone,
I'm new to this forum and am hoping the accountability will help.
I'm 36 and have struggled with pornography and masturbation for over 20 years. It's sad to see that number in writing.
There have been 3 times in those years that I've confessed my sin and the next 3-6 months were great. But each time I've fallen.
I'm hoping that a consistent accountability here will help me to build discipline to find the freedom that Christ wants for me.
My wife and I have been married for over 10 years and I have confessed to her twice. Each time there has been great pain in our marriage and for her. I can't put her through that again.
The posting I put here everyday will hopefully keep that from happening.
Christ has forgiven me and I've surrendered the issue to Him.
This is Day 1.

Thank you kauffy, and welcome!
I too come out of a past of many failures.
I agree with daily posting. At least on most days.... there are always those days when we're just too busy.
My daily Scriptures are super important. Even to writing one on a 3x5 card to carry with me.
Lots of good programs or courses out there. The one I'm doing, 40 days of purity at bebroken.com, is only one. Actually it will take me more than 40 to complete it, because I'm listening to the podcast as I complete each lesson.
Thanks for your presence here, my brother!

Welcome to the forum. I am glad you found us and pray that you continue your journey with Christ.
I struggled with the same issues for 25 years before undertaking the difficult journey of walking with God and gaining and maintaining freedom from this sin. It isn't an easy road to travel and can be a minute by minute battle, especially in the beginning. It is well worth the effort though. True freedom is a blessing and a gift from our Lord.
