Ok I've never opened up to any living being about my struggles. But today is the day everything changes.
I've ways been considered the "perfect kid" my whole life. I did well in learning, secular studies, and sports. I have friends and a warm personality.
People treat me as if I was a fundamentally solid Jew.
The truth is, I never told anyone that I lived a double life. I am currently 19 years old and have been struggling with Shichvas Zera since I was 14. No one has known. They all assumed I was that "perfect kid" who doesn't look at bad things. I wish they were right.
I'm not the type of person to open up about myself, but here I am posting on a forum I barely know. Why? Because this battle must end now. I used to think I could fight this by myself. But I can't. I need help. I need chizuk. I don't want to be stuck in Tumaah for the rest of my life.
Hopefully this is the start of a new day for me. Hopefully I can finally rid myself of this 5 year addiction.

You are very lucky to have this resource at your age.
Roy in the SA White Book noted that we frequently prayed and it did not work...because the best we could muster was begging G-d to "Please take it away, so I will not have to give it up!

Just for the purpose of clarification, YID, In Cordnoy's Dictionary REALITY = ACTION!, so what he meant to say was: May all your hopes turn into ACTION.
AMEN

Welcome fellow Yid!!

It's really great that you came to look for help and brought out that you have a problem. It's really hard for us to come to terms with that especially for us who have been hiding that fact, from ourselves and others, for so many years!!

Wherever you end up posting, keep it up!! Get into it, it's worth it!!

WELCOME! You have taken a GIANT step in the right direction. Read the handbook. Keep Posting. Many of us wish we had reached out at 19, not 15 or 20+ years later. If you do not adress it, it only gets worse, not better. Address it now, and you will save yourself years of heartache. Things can get better. Commit to do whatever it takes.
