Hi everyone, 

New here. Found this platform recently, B'H. 

Stumbled upon this problem around the age of 12. Not growing up frum, I didn't realize it was even an issue until I turned 20. 

Over the last few years, I realized I was addicted and have been trying to quit. 

I've not spoken to women for several years and my falls have gone down from almost daily to once every 4-5 weeks. I'm determined to break free permanently before I start dating.

Hatzlacha to everyone here. Looking forward to growing together

Welcome! 

keep snooping around the site, there is a whole treasure trove of stories, articles and audio library.

I suggest you read other fellow strugglers threads and see if anything they write connects with you at all.

Can you share what tools you have tried in the past?

Wishing you much hatzlocha on your journey.
