Your username says it all. This is not easy. I have been struggling with pornography and masturbation for 20 years.

You started off this thread with:

I have struggled with this for many years I have tried different tools and I see what a differences it makes in my life when I am clean I might as well start.

What difference does it make in your life when you are clean? Why do you want to be clean? Whatever it is, it sounds like it was worth it to you to try and join GYE. Please don't despair just because it is hard. It is hard, but not impossible.

Not Always can I understand others, but I can always respect their wishes. You're human, it's okay. One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.
