my name is yoda (annonymous name)
I have been struggling with porngraphy for more than 15 years.
It is a normal addiction I suppose but, for religious people it is a sin.
It keeps us away from god, friends, community and so on.
I don't have a solution to this particular problem besides getting married and have family - since it will force be to have some kind of accountability 
for my sins.
I know I wasn't blessed with a high IQ that allows you to focus on mathmathics and other topics.
It is very hard for me to concentrate in general maybe it is because of tech, or other things. I don;'t know/

Welcome to the guardyoureyes community and congratulations on your first post. I don't want to disappoint you but getting married seldom resolves the issue of P&M. You don't need a high IQ to overcome the Yetzer Hora. Chazal say, who is the wise person? The one who learns from every person. We are here to support you, cheer you along on your journey and sometimes share some of our experience. Read some threads and make friends. I suggest that you do the Flight to Freedom program and read the book The Battle of the Generation on a regular basis. Here is the link to the ebook: https://guardyoureyes.com/ebooks/item/the-battle-of-the-generation Many people started out like you and today they are free men. Keep on posting and sharing and keep on trucking. Rooting for you.

Hi Yoda!
Welcome to the family! There's a lot to learn here, so take it slowly...just take it seriously. Many, many have been where you are right now, and have, with much help from the One Above, succeeded in breaking free.
One serious note-marriage has not helped others break free. Many have thought it will, only to find out that it doesn't work that way. 
My friend, stick around, learn the ropes, make some friends, and beH you'll be on your way!
Feel free to say hi. My email is 1gimpelovitz@gmail.com

Hi Yoda - marriage is a good thing but TRUST ME porn will infiltrate and destroy marriage that has not been porn-proofed.... so good to get a jump on this now (laughing as I write this thinking about my personal situation)
The fact that you consider yourself of less-than-high IQ suggests that not only are you are intelligent, but also humble. The YH hates that so you are in the right place and off to a good start.
