I don't know how many of you people here are young and unmarried, but I want to alert you to a lie I fell into before I got married. I used to think that "Once I get married and lose my virginity, it will be easier to stop the addiction". Do not believe that lie!

I was blessed to be able to get married at the age of 20. By then I had been an addict for 4 years. Today I have been married for over 10 years, I have a great and fulfilling sex life with my wife, and yet I am struggling with the addiction. The sooner you can kick the habit, the better for you, and for your future wife.

Just thought I'd put it out there, in case it helps someone. I wish someone would have told me back then...

He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. /Mishlei (Proverbs) 25:28

I thought the same thing too, and not only did it not get better after i got married, if anything it got worse.

Thank you for the warning.
My Rabbi always gives me the same advice. "Be happy. The world is good. Just be happy."
