Shalom everyone, I am Azariah. Since I was roughly 14 I have been struggling with a porn addiction. I have been in denial about this for nearly 20 years and until recently, my marriage has been affected. I think that the best way to overcome this is to understand where it began.
I believe that having a support group will give me strength and more importantly having someone to be able to talk to when I am feeling weak.
If anyone is willing to accept that role with me, please let me know. I have been dealing with depression because of this issue. As an orthodox Jew, this is something that will garner support from another like-minded Jew.

Please read The Battle of the Generation for help with this, in addition to everything else you are doing. The link for the download is below in my signature. You can check the table of contents and read what sounds relevant to you.
