I'm 31 years old, and I've been battling masturbation and pornography for 19 years now, with, of course, ups and downs. My longest break was managing to hold out for six months, but I always ended up going back to this bad habit, which creates problems in all areas of my life. Despite prayers, studying the Torah, marriage, and having children, and  with filters on my computer and phone, I have always fallen back into this bad habit.

This is the first time I'm talking about it on a forum, and I hope to find with you that extra strength to finally, with God's help, succeed in overcoming the yetzer hara

Welcome to the warmest family in Klal Yisroel! So happy you took the brave step of posting here. You won't regret it.

A big thing members here found helpful starting out is reaching out to a mentor. The chief mentor can be reached at michelgelner@gmail.com. He is someone who's been through similar struggles and was clean for years.

Wishing you the best of luck,

From a dark room in Jerusalem
