Here's more of my story.
when i first went to a p-movie, i put on a ski mask so noone would see me. Of course i wasn't afraid if G-d saw me....
When i was older and married, they were up to $8 a movie. Then $11. When they were up to $15, i said - this is great - finally an incentive for me to stop going - right? wrong!! I still went. of course this is, we now know, what an addiction is. An alcoholic will say 'if i dont have another drink i will die!' Of course, just the opposite is true - one more drink and his liver will bust open - but this is STILL not enough for an addict. Dr twerski says the addict must hit bottom - as if that's not bottom. But, addictions kill, and worse. Yes, people die from throwing up their food, and from cirrhosis of the liver, and get shot in the brothel when the bad guys come in - just read the papers. And still they don't stop. Nothing is enough when it comes to addictions. What to do? As we now know, group support is the answer. My father was not happy until he joined the holocaust survivors in his area - a group of people who went through just what he did - the only people in the entire world who could understand what he went through. The power of the group - and the genious of the people who start it and run it is what saves us addicts from going down!!

I mamesh feel the same way... it's almost as if there was no other solution. My life is really different through this forum. I wouldn't have believed it if i didn't experience it myself.

Chl , I think I'm stopping to post. You just say the exact things I'm thinking about.

Unless, I keep on  posting " I second that"

I really wouldn't have any motivation if not for this forum . THANK YOU GUE! ;D
