Age 34 – New dad, new beginnings

Your Brain On Porn

So a while back I was in a dark hole of my own making. During my wife’s pregnancy our sexual activities stopped completely. Unfortunately I took that ad an excuse to let myself go and help myself. This was a very bad idea, and I found myself in a depression because of the lies I told myself and others that I was okay.

Then my son was born. I know we can never base our sexual healing on another person, but I think he triggered something. I realised that I’m going to be responsible for the man he will become one day and my actions and example will shape him.

I want him to be a better man than me, and the only way that can happen is when I live the life I want him to mimic.

He is 6 weeks old today, and its been just as long for me. I’m thankful that we can grow together. I know it will be hard at times, but greatness is forged in hard times.
