Age 29 – Porn did not ruin my life: but that doesn’t mean it’s harmless.

That’s right. You read that right. It didn’t.

I did great at school. I had slightly higher than average grades. I finished my year IT study in 4 years. I’ve had multiple girlfriends during that time.

I’ve got a great job that pays a slightly higher than average salary. I have a beautiful wife and we’re together for more than 5 years.

I try to eat healthy, exercice every day, I stay away from drugs and I don’t drink too much alcohol. I have some friends that I see regular. Yesterday I’ve had a job interview that went well so I might get a better job soon. I love my family and my family loves me. I manage my finances without problems. My wife and I have little issues and we might have kids sooner or later.

I’m 29 years old now, and while I think I did great in life so far, I still have a big life ahead of me. This may sound great and I think it actually is.

And then there is this thing called porn. I can’t stay off of it, since I was around 14 years old. While it didn’t ruin my life, I think it still affects me negatively. I still have social anxiety, and everything I did in life, I mostly avoided people.

I have tried to quit many times. I have had many streaks of 30 – 60 days and 150 and 180 days. I was a better person then. Stronger, less anxiety, more positive outlook on life, better sex with my wife, more free time, more productive, better focus etc.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that porn addiction can exist in a successful man’s life, but that doesn’t mean it’s harmless. It makes life unnecessarily harder and less joyful.
