Hello every1 im new here. Its hard fr me to talk about this and write but I will give it a try.

Im now 19 and in yeshiva. Ive struggled watching pornography since I was in 7th grade and now im in my second year in yeshiva.

I never really viewed it as being the worst thing in the word until the end of high school when I got more mature and realized its affects me and will affect my life and my marriage.

Im viewed as a role model in the community I live in and one of the top bachurim in yeshiva. But i feel when its comes to these things I have 0 control.

Unfortunatley this tayva has lead me to not only to computers but also to strip cubs, massage parlors, and even one time ordering a prostitute. This has taken over my life. I reallly feel lost and feel like I have no way out I dont know what to do. I definitley need real help. But I would never be able to afford a therapist. Pease hep me figure out where to start and what to do.

Can I send you a personal message, please? Or would you feel more comfortable discussing the details of this on this forum? I was at least as messed up as you are right now, and am clean for many years, be"H after following much mistaken advice I got from many (well-meaning) people over the years.

If your life is out of control now, there is help. In fact, you are probably at the one point in your life where there is the very most hope, right now.

You are not alone, chaver.

There is no time like the present. My advice is listen to what Dov has to say and follow his advice very carefully. Good luck.
