I'm 21 years old, I started porn/masturbation when I was 17. All this time I was so shy and embarrassed from it that even my parents didn't know about it, not to mention friends. I did take the courage to mention the issue to my mashpia/mentor but never took serious action. Finally when I was 20 years old I started talking to a psychologist (still without my parents knowing) he introduced me to GYE and also got me to open up to my father about it. I stopped talking to the psychologist after a couple months (mainly because i went out of town for yeshiva) I started doing the flight to freedom program which definitely opened up a whole new world for me and showed that there is hope. but now I find it hard to be consistent with the program - I'm busy with yeshiva or whatever it is and end up stopping for a couple weeks and then get back in to it - having to start all over again if I want to do a proper and thorough job
