Free Recovery Course
Welcome to the Free Recovery Course!
Here you can find 23 article that contain all of the information that you need to break free from pornography addictions. I suggest reading each article in order.
Many of our visitors found that it was too much information to observe in one day. If you find yourself feeling the same way you can either bookmark this site and come back to it later or submit your email to the form on the right and have each article emailed to you daily.
Educating yourself is very important, but it is the actions that you take that will set you free. If you are ready to change your life I recommend the following 3 action steps:
- Read through every article in the recovery course below. You might also find it helpful to journal about your progress on our forum.
- Sign up for accountability software. I recommend Covenant Eyes at $10 a month, but if you can’t afford it at this time, K9 filter could work for you.
- Sign up for a group or one-one one sessions with one of our coaches. If you can’t afford this investment, substitute it with attending Sex Addicts Anonymous meetings either in person or over the phone. (12 step program is not perfect, but it does provide a much needed live support environment.)

Thanks, although I’m not an addict. I know for a fact, you’re contributing immensely to the world..
Hello my name is sandy, my boyfriend and I have been together for 3years I just found out he is addicted to porn I have asked him so many times to stop. At first I couldn’t understand what was wrong with him, we have always had problems about him looking for girls. He wants to Marry me and have a future together, but I don’t want to if he is not fully recovered I am deeply in love with him that is why I am looking for help online. We agreed that there is something wrong with him. I caught him watching porn everyday I am going through so much pain, but it also hurts me that he is not okay. He wants to look for help as well. I honestly love to have sex with him, I am certainly not addicted though. I just don’t know if during his recover we will still be able to have sex? I don’t want to make it even more difficult for him. What should I do?
I was exposed to porn when I was 8 by my friend who apparently had “The Talk” to early. My parents never knew, I was afraid to tell them and they don’t know I am reading these articles. I felt something awful at the end each time. When I was in 7th grade things got worse, my social ability was at -20 out of 10, my friends though I was autistic and I almost believed it. I thought this had something to do with porn so I decided to fight my porn and masturbation addiction. Now I am 13 and God helped me find this, these articles alone are starting to help me alot (Not done reading every article). All I can do right now is say Thank You and God Bless You All.
You might laugh or think I am retarded or childish at this tone I was talking in but the pain and memories of those moments say otherwise. I do not expect nor want to be responded to but it just felt better just being honest and letting my ideas out even if its only on the internet
Hey power on
God cares and I think you are a warrior to be sharing your story, getting over your addiction and Praising him in the process
‘For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.’ Colossians 1:13,14
It takes bravery to do what you’re doing. I, too, was exposed to it at an even younger age, but I didn’t have your courage to step up and fight it at 13. I would think to myself, “by the time i’m 20 this will be just a thing of the past.” But without a plan of action and discipline I failed. I’m now 27 and still struggle. I thank you for that blessing, you’re in my prayers.
Getting out of Porn Addiction – Three Simple Steps: https://plus.google.com/105425132916011473480/posts/eRwAcwXXASY
Well that will stop me from looking at porn but then i need my head sorted out so i won’t have the urge to look at at and i use the info on this website.
hssh
porn ruined my life i got caught with it at school now im alowed to do this for 3 hours a day dont look at porn it hurts you and your family
im 12 and im a porn adic it started when i was 8 i had no friends no one who liked me thank you
my life sucks
Tyler, life is what it becomes, not what it is now. I was depressed and even had suicidal thoughts at your age b/c of being held captive by pornography. If I would have spent time focused on school work or other activities I would have accomplished more, but I failed. I felt like a failure for most of my life. Now in my late 20′s I still fall short of the discipline I need, but i’ll never quit. I pray that you never quit fighting. Do the right things to help you escape this bondage. We’re with you, Tyler.
It so good that you are finding help now!!! not at 27 like me!!! I was when i first got addicted and you are so blessed to have these resources available to you where as the internet didnt exist when i was your age! I am so happy for you

I was looking for help. My husband and I are arguing lot finally last night he said he need help. I thank you for the information and I will share it with him. Married 8 months and almost gave up. God has a purpose for us and I will try and help him as I was ready to give up
Hi there! It is truly wonderful that you are reaching out!!! I completely understand where you are at, I’ve been there myself. It’s such a hard and lonely place but I do just want to offer you some hope and support. It was a tough but amazingly rewarding journey for my hubby and I, but in the end we chose to embrace recovery and healing and it brought us closer together.
We are now SO passionate about helping others heal through this nightmare and not just survive it but come out the other end AWAKE, healthy & empowered. I share my journey of healing on my blog … http://mishkawifeofsexaddict.blogspot.com . Many women have found it VERY helpful and knowing that they are not alone and understood is really important.
Also, my hubby Craig and I have a podcast that many couple’s find helpful to listen to together because we give both people’s perspective. Here is the link… http://www.spreaker.com/user/sexaddiction I hope this helps a bit!!!
IM SO TO KNOW SOME HAD THE PROLEM LIKE ME, AND HE CANGED. SO I BELIEVE I CAN CHAGE TOO, AND I DO MY BEST TO CHANGE BY FEEDING THE RIHGT WOLF
THANK YOU! GOD BLESS YOU ALL
I wanted to say that I am also struggling with an addiction to porn. I started when I was in 7th grade and it has grown into a huge problem for me. I’ve tried quitting on my own hundreds of time, but have always relapsed.
I will follow everything in this site so that I can retake control of my life! It’s been too long and I have had enough!
Thank you so much for providing this resource!
Hello,
I too suffer from a masturbating addiction and have looked for help online for years. Usually I end up frustrated, anxious and end up searching for depictions of Arabic women which of course, is forbidden by Islam. But as they say, mystery breeds interest and the way our women remain completely covered, the interest is high. Sometimes I think African men never masturbate because sub-saharan cultures do not attempt to make the female body a mystery – toplessness especially is often the norm. There is some light at the end of the tunnel as I suffer from carpal tunnel syndrom in my dominate hand – which as you can imagine, is the hand that I use to pleasure myself. I have shared my issue with my surgeon and he has agreed to artifically proglon my need to immobolize the joint in hopes that it will force me to abstain from masturbating while I get control of my addiction. Of course some have criticized me for this plan, suggesting that I could also pleasure myself with my left hand, but for anyone who has tried it, the whole process feels foreign and strange. So, thanks for the the brave men and women on here sharing their stories and letting me share mine. Muslim men who masturbate are shunned in my community, but I know the problem is pervasive as some have confided in me that they, too, suffer from constant self-pleasuring. I just can’t help but think that the more we wonder what is under women wearing hijab, the more we want to see. Just a thought.
As a fellow muslim, I can second what Mussafa says about the inverse relationship between cultures that cover women and the sexual intrigue developed among that culture’s male population. As a missionary in Africa, I was at first obsessesd with seeing the exposed tatas of women, masturbating in my tent whenever I could, peering out at whatever woman I could find, day, night, whatever. I asked the local men about rape, and sexual crime in the villages and there was very little. The influence of exposed breasts? None. It was an everyday thing. So it got me wondering, why are we blaming porn? Isn’t the nature of man to see what is essentially forbidden the root of his intrigue? You can argue anout masturbation, but as someone else argued on here, it is natural among all mammals. I think we are too hard on ourselves. Mohammed says little about masturbation, this is where Christians impose on their psyches and make a course that is set with standards that lead to self-sabotage and guilt. Self-pleasuring is using god’s hand to help onself realize a greater existence here on earth, a taste of what is to become us when we die. Addiction is another category, one must not do anything too much, vacuuming can be an addiction. But a daily session of sensual self-awareness can align earthly and heavenly feelings.
Self-pleasuring is not as pleasurable as sex with a partner–brain science has proven that masturbation leaves us feeling pretty empty compared to an actual sexual experience. This isn’t to say it is intrinsically wrong–most religions don’t have a problem with it–but when it becomes an addiction it can be very destructive. If you can masturbate once a day with no problems, then great, but most people on this site are unable to do so without binging and damaging their relationship to their partner.
Sex_ Masterbation & Islam-The Cure – YouTube
these are lectures by nouman ali khan in english .these are pretty much informative .do give them a try .
As regarding masturbation in islam it is completely forbidden , unless you are 100%sure that you are going to do the bigger evil sin i.e adultery . in that case you can do this forbdden act to save your self from bigger sin(adultery) .
GOD knows the best .
May GOD help us all (ameen).

A couple days ago i found out that the guy i’ve been married for 3 years now has veen addicted to port since he was 17. It hurts alot to realize it just now. I am looking for help in order to save our marriage, j have one question about the internet filter. How does it work if we have two different internet lines we have our internet at home and we also have our smart ohones. Can that filter be set up to both accounts at the same time, if we can how?
mari, the desire for him to stop has to come from within himself. If you apply ONLY an external stimuli, it won’t do the trick.
What do you suggest as a better move? He seems very defensive every time i approach him. At this point i feel like i can’t trust him. I want our marriage to work out and overcome this addiction but at the same time i don’t know if i want to put my daughter and myself through this.
Safe Eyes, this is if he wants to stop.
He has to want to stop and see the damage that is causing. I found out about my husbands addiction prior to marriage 3 years ago. However at the time I thought it was just a one time thing as he came from a bad marriage. Now after promising to stop and not being able to time after time the damage to myself has been extreme. I finally said I can’t do it anymore. I love my husband deeply. This caused him to seek therapy and me to look for help online. We are now in counseling together as a couple after doing counseling individually. When his therapist suggested a filter blocker he allowed me to install one. I choose K9 as it does windows, IOS, Macs as well as phones. He travels with his iPad and iPhone which it is installed on both. He does not want it removed as I have offered to do accountability software instead. This is a road to recovery in our marriage that one can not put a time frame on. It will and may take years but we are atleast starting. Please don’t demean him just explain to him how you feel without judging. Its not easy but I hope he comes around.
Can I ask what happened? I’m in the same situation and don’t know what to do.
OMG in the pass i have judged people that had drug or alcoholism addiction stating how stupid they were . as the great drug slogan said ” JUST SAY NO”. Now that porn has caused me to lose the love of my life,i have a new view on things. just reading this web site,and realized its not that easy to just say no. I never viewed that what i was doing could or would hurt anybody.until i lead me to start joining sites for couples or women looking to hook up for NSA sex.i never contacted anybody though i was just enjoy kinky photos.how wrong i was.it was i thought just a stress reliever . I WOULD LIKE TO LET HER KNOW HOW SORRY I AM FOR THE HURT I CAUSED. love this site plan on reading every page to get a better understanding of MY ADDICTION. THANK YOU
So glad I found this website, just what I need to take back control of my life.
me too i encourage all of you to trust God and work with your coach i felt bad about this secret sin as a young christain sometime i look in others eyes i wonder if they know but i am ready to live again
It started coincidentally. I was at elementary school and saw my friend play a skate-boarding game that i liked on a site that had it all. so i looked up the site at home and was surfing through it when i found a interesting sounding rpg. i played and since english was not my first language i did not know what many sexual or curse words meant. i did the quest and i got a animated pornographic photo for it. i quit playing it and did not do porn, but that picture was always in my mind. finally i came to the point were i started looking stuff up on youtube but it never finished the scene and one directed my to a porn website. i looked it up. later i found out about masturbation and now i am still addicted. i asked my brother to remind me not to masturbate even though he did not know what it was. it did not help but telling someone did just a little bit. i pray that i am released. porn kills. i am 14 and an addict i need someone to talk to without letting it be known to the world. until i am done. This is my email please help me. mmantsevich1@yahoo.com
may God save us all. this is my prayer
Mark,
You are NORMAL! Masturbation is a natural expression of our biological tendency to indulge sexual urges and mate. Nearly every species of mammal masturbates and they do so without porn. You are biologically programmed to love the physical form of a woman, without it, sex would be optional, and if it was akin to taking out the trash, we would do only when we had to. Porn is a shameful name for the portrayal of God’s greatest work: Women! Of course spanking the monkey, while normal, can hinder everyday productivity if you don’t leave it alone once in a while and leave the house. Any good thing can become a problem if you obsess over it….even exercise. Give yourself a break, spank it to and move on.
Hey Mark
Be honest with God, tell him all your thoughts and feelings. He obviously has a plan for you…not just any plan a great one. He considers all you thoughts and dreams and your set backs. The thinks we can take from our mistakes are experience. and i hope you (and i will also on your behalf) “Pray without ceasing” 1 Thessalonians 5:17

It started for me by mere mistake.
I was 12 and my parents had just got a sky-box. I was flicking through the channels and came across a lot of confusing things.
I switched it off and went back on it at 11 to find completly different things, again i switched the tv off and walked stiffly up the stairs, i felt so confused so scared that i could barely move. Little did i knew that curiosity would gradually build inside of me and it did i went back to it several times yet it wasn’t enough. I turned to the internet in the hopes i’d discover something more and i did. Again like before i was scared confused i flinched away from the graphic images on the videos i watched so i decided it was not for me. But still something inside of me was gnawing away i didn’t understand what i feeling- it was temptation. For the next two years on and off i would keep revisiting it, i felt overwhelming guilt and shame i would pray out saying i was sorry asking for help but still i didn’t entirely want to, the beast inside was too powerful until finally i decided enough was enough in december of 2010 i watched it for the last time. But the remains were evident i couldn’t barely speak to my family as for some insane reason- lets call it paranoia- i thought they knew, i was afraid that everyone was secretly judging me. stress began to enter my life and shame. I found i was no longer hungry. The sick feeling in the pit of my stomach made it difficult for me to eat. Then in the summer of 2011 i went to a Christian camp and i told my youth leader. She prayed over me and reassured me that i should not feel guilty i had been forgiven already long ago. The following night i asked god for healing and the sick feeling vanished. I felt love and comfort, i have felt no guilt nor shame since that day. But i have however been tempted. I have find that when i’m under serve stress or if i feel lonely my temptation returns This Christmas my mum went to hospital for a hip operation. I’ve revisited three
Times since the new year. I’m determined not to fall back to my old ways but its began
Every mammal masturbates. The sickness comes from sickos telling you that God hates you for being a normal mammal programmed to procreate. Your Christian group counselor masturbates and so does your Mom. You are NORMAL!!!
God doesn’t hate people for masturbating, nowhere in the Bible does it even address masturbaton. If you don’t believe in God that’s fine, but don’t make stuff up that isn’t true. The larger point is that porn is not normal–recent research shows that it is extremely unnatural to watch porn through a computer screen.

And i agree. It make me angry someone would think so. God loves fricken rapists and pedophiles the same as you and i for crying out loud among others society judges.
I’d like to say thanks for the help… But you didn’t help much. For one, no Christian has EVER said a thing like that to me. I know and am told all the time that it doesnt matter what mistakes i make he’ll always love me they support me and helped me when i was feeling guilty about the porn. I must disagree, obviously due to what i believe- thinking about it creeps me out as you’re practically having sex with yourself… Since then i haven’t masturbated for nearly a month. And hmm would rather.not think of that… maybe they have maybe they haven’t, we’re human we mess up daily. Plus not all mammals, only us and monkeys/ chimps.

I would just like to say that I think I may be developing this problem. That is all.
Hi all,
I’m just about fifty minutes past having watched and done my last porn and masturbation session. Many times before now, I’ve tried to get out of this addiction without any success, but I have a special feeling this time around. I was lucky once to go 115 days without porn, before I regressed back into this cycle. This time around, I know I can do better.
I know that I can do whatever I set my mind to, but I need everyone’s help and prayers (that is, if you are religious at all) to help me through what is sure to be a difficult first year of real recovery. This addiction has broken me, has made me cynical, and has made me ashamed of myself, but I still won’t back down.
i pray for u
god bless u
That’s ridiculous, you are normal. Point to any priest, pastor, minister or self-important puritan and I will show you one of two people: A masturbator or a liar.
Give yourself a break!

I’m 22 years old. Married to an amazing woman with whom I created our beautiful 2 month old daughter…my wife and I have been fighting to rectify my issue for some time. Ive been addicted to porn since I was barely a teen. More than once my addiction has caused several issues between her and I. I tried will power alone but it did not work overly long. We would fight and I would turn to it for comfort. We both have colorful pasts…shes gotten over her problems..I thought I was free of mine but last night I faltered and it all came crashing down. I had been sober for months and I am not sure what caused the compulsion but it took over before I realized it and all my work came undone. She has told me she cannot “unlove” somebody and she would stay..but our intimacy is gone until I defeat this beast within me. Your story of the cherokee boy and his Grand father struck me as an epiphony of sorts. I had never considered viewing it as sorts and quite frankly I agree whole-heartedly. I will continue to share my progress on this site as well as in a journal. I found your material to be of a great help Alex and I would personally like to say thank you. Any prayers to be had by any members and yourself to whomever you pray to will be greatly and humbly appreciated. Thank you!
feel ur pain brother god bless u
I just need to tell someone. I’ve been an addict for about 6 months now, and I’m tired of this thing. I feel like it’s between me and my religious beliefs. Thanks for this site and the recovery program Alex.
I have been watching porn since puberty. It has been infinitely embarrassing, and I resent how normalized it is, while at the same time not being normal. It’s almost as if it is bait to a trap, to keep people from being “fighters.” Whether or not that is true, I don’t know, but I do know that my goals for 2013 exclude pornography. I’m 27 and don’t have the endless sexual energy I had as a teen. I have big responsibilities and can’t afford to waste any more time recouping from my last jackoff session.
I am so grateful I found you and this cite. I will be starting your method instantly. I have been addicted for four years, and I have had enough of the self loathing and being concerned for my friends or family seeing what I have done. I can’t thank you enough for making this a free website and for your information.
I am 17 been trying to stop countless times, although it’s embarassing my worst relapses are from wet dreams (I heard 1 in 50 teens have them) do you have any advice for this?
Secondly, there was this time I was clean the longest , when I was in love with this girl.. It didn’t work and it tears me apart, I dream of her but never sexually she IS my anchor..but she cheated on me and got pregnant :’( ……still when I find myself alone with a trigger if I think of the love we had or one moment it helped me out the most.. Do you think I should use our memories to overcome this?
Lastly, do I have to go one month without porn & wet dreams to continue the following part of the ERP?
Hi Tafe,
First of all, wet dreams aka Nocturnal Emission is completely normal and most men especially teen agers have them(not 1 in 50 as you suggested). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocturnal_emission#In_men
In regards to your memories, it is a hard question. But I am confident, that you will find true love in your future with a person who deserves it. 17 is very young, and 10 years from now you’ll look back on today, as a cute childhood memory.
And no, you don’t have to go any times without wet dreams, there is nothing wrong with them. With porn I do recommend minimizing your exposure, since our men survived without it for thousands of years.
Overall, I wish you all of the best, you sound like a healthy teenager, with good conscience, who is trying to do his best, and I am sure you’ll turn our just fine.
Regards,
Alex
You’re doing something more here & when I make it I’ll give you more than you ever thought. To keep this site where there is compassion for one another. Where there is hope for someone you never met.
Please keep me as a contact

We’ll see what occurs next.

I’ve had a serious breakdown when my only relationship abruptly ended. It took me over 2 years to get over depression and back up. Today I’m understanding/admitting that I’ve a sex/porn addiction. I shall not forget. I can’t live with that any longer. I believe I understand the roots of the problem. I don’t have access to therapy, counselling or group help but I’m kicking that useless and harmful habit out of my life starting TODAY and will spread the word that it can be done. With all respects to my ex-partner who desperately tried to help me all the way (without even knowing). I’d rather live with the shame of admitting my addiction to everyone than live with the addiction.
Heard about this site and decided I’d check it out.
I don’t know how serious my sexual addictions are. I don’t really look at porn but I do have a photographic memory.I masturbate a lot but so does every guy I know; at least the ones who are open about it. I’m not sure how much is too much.
My problem is when I masturbate, I fantasize about men. I don’t know if that means I’m gay or I do it because my sexual desires were awakened at the age of 9 when my 13 year old nephew made me have sex with him. At 9 years old, it’s hardly consensual but part of me actually enjoyed it.
My spiritual/religious beliefs go against homosexuality, though I have heard stories of glbt’s who seem to be in love. To me there are still underlying issues that cause it because I don’t believe it’s the way God designed it. I don’t want to make this too long so I will share my underlying issues and my working of the 12-steps through Emotions Anonymous in my next two posts.
To close, I am highly attracted to women and I believe my gay fantasies are merely a sexual addiction as I have no emotional attachment to men. I have only had one relationship with a woman (never been in a same-sex relationship) and i believe the emotional problems of two bipolar people is why it only lasted five years; however the fact that we were both sexually abused as children probably goes deeper than the emotional problems and is probably the underlying issue of the emotional problems.
Thank you,
E
i,ve been on n off porn…..watch it today feel soo bad about myself bt still find myself straying back…..i,m young n really need help…
I know how you feel, and seeing you feel bad makes me happy I didn’t waste my time watching more of this crap. Gosh knows I have seen enough for one lifetime. Sometimes demons present themselves as friends, and porn is one way to achieve that, then once you are plugged in it is free to consume you, just like in the Matrix.
dude i am only 14 i know how u feel i pray u will be saved from this god bless
Well, here is my first ever post and the first time I’ve ever admitted to anyone that I have a problem. I feel weak and I need help to overcome this addiction. I’m married to the greatest woman ever and I feel awful that I’ve not been honest with her. My soul hurts and I just want to be free. I’ve seen this site in passing several times but haven’t really started a recovery program. Today is the day I have to start!
Thank you so much for your help!
Ryan
i need help!
there is a god that helps with everything he can heal and raise the dead my encouragement is that god can do anything cause he was willing to send his only son to die for me i know that he loves and wishes me the best of things. let this be your encouragement.

hum ye masturbation ka adat chorwana chahte h 10 saal se aj se hum start kiye hai puri kosis karenge cur hone ka
Hi Alex, It has been a while (May be 2 years) since I stopped watching and today I had some urge to watch porn and had to divert my mind from it. (I do it every time I get an urge) So browsed for tips to overcome it and stumbled on your site. Good articles ! After reading for sometime, my craving stopped and true knowledge dawned and felt good about my will ! Keep up good work, dude !
I have caught up in porn addiction For my whole life. I remember flipping through Sears antennae catalogs as a boy looking for partially nude pictures of women. That progressed to pornography magazines that were bought at most any convenience store throughout the 80s. My porn addiction really took off with the advent of the Internet. I would have victories from time to time. I also went through 3 marriages and several relationships. All came to an end from either my anger due to shame and guilt or because my partner discovered my porn addiction on the computer. This addiction has held me captive and held me back from reaching my true God given potential in my relationships and my career. I am desperate to find a solution that works and gives me some accountability.
Hi
I have been trying to quit this addiction for the past 4 years, hope your program does help me I have been on and off from the past 1 year need some real help
Dharm,
I hear you. I’m in the same boat as you are, although I’ve been trying to quit the addiction for seven years. I pray that we all will have a successful journey. We can do it.
While my history with porn goes back 20 years, it’s been 4 years since I tried to put it behind me. My wife discovered that I had been on websights. I almost lost everything and thankfully she gave me another chance. After all that time, I have relapsed about 2 months ago, and started using my phone to access at night when stress would keep me awake all night. It has now been 10 days since I was kicked out and have just now found your sight. I hope with the help of your program I will been porn free for life.
Good luck to you, Richard. Be strong and fight this thing! Today is my first day of recovery and I am committed to make this work. I know it can be done, as Alex is a great example for us all.
I lost my wife and to children couse of porn, depression and anxiety is a daily struggle
Now for the 1000 time I will try to quitt porn and stroking the salami.
I hate I hate I hate porn, hate it! Bean one hour with out it.
hey everyone i just started d program today.i pray it works because am really tired of this thing.
Hi Emeraldlove! We can only win on quitting this bad habit, only good can com from quitting it! Dont trick your self to take a peek, you have the will and you are stronger than those pictures! The only thing your going to touch your dick is when your taking a pee, ok? Do it, win the great battle!
This site seems to be the most uselful and freely available resource, on this topic, that I’ve come across in all my online searching. I have only recently admited to myself that I have a problem and I’m hoping this will be the start of my road to recovery.
I’ll keep you posted on my progress, wish me luck.

I just want to share a story of hope. Today I am 63 days clean from masturbation and about 2 weeks from pornography (although I only fell once in this aspect during the 63 days since I started the course.) I found this course to be a great tool, but I would also recommend further reading and research on the topic. Something I found to help me in a great way was the book ‘Every Man’s Battle’ from Steven Arterburn, Fred Stoeker and Mike Yorkey. I’ve been addicted for 4 years although I’ve been viewing porn for 11 years. I’ve tried to quit more times than I can remember but never could seem to win this thing. It was only until I decided to cut out everything Masturbation, sexual thoughts, controlling my eyes and mind etc etc. before I could start seeing the end of the tunnel (read every man’s battle). Guys, there IS hope and it CAN be done. Be a man and fight this thing, no matter how many times you fall get up and continue on. We were not created to live in bonds. ‘It is very important that we transcend the places that hold us’ – Ruben ‘The Hurricane’ Carter.
1 Corinthians 10:12-13 – “If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are being tempted, he will show you a way out so you can endure.”
I am a psychologist who is attempting to treat a young man (29) who
has been addicted to porn for over 10 years. I’m flying by the seat of my pants in that I have never taken on a client with this problem.
I am retired and work as a volunter for my church. The bulk of my
psychotherapy has been with active duty military clients and their
spouses – this is new for me, but I am challenged by the opportunity to help this young man (and his wife.) Can the book or course be
purchased at Barnes and Noble (or Amazone?) I would be happy to make a donation if that is the case. Please respond and help me help this highly motivated yourng man. Thanks, and blessings to you.
Dr. Welch,
Thank you for kind feedback. Our recovery course is not currently available in print. You can however, get a PDF version and print it out. http://feedtherightwolf.nfshost.com/files/Free_Recovery_Course.pdf
I have some recommended books listed on this page:

I would especially recommend Treating Pornography Addiction: http://feedtherightwolf.nfshost.com/link/treatingpornographyaddiction.php

Been battling with porn and masturbation for a while now and trying to stop seemed redundant, but with this, i’m more than determined to stop. I’ve just deleted all of my porn collection and i’ve locked the safesearch on my pc. With determination and willpower I believe its possible to stop.
Yes , it will work if you want it to READ everything on here , im on day 2 and feel positive about the future, the last time i visited this website i had been watching porn and masturbating compulsively for about 8 hours and couldnt be bothered to read everything i just skipped through everything looking for the solution then gave up and started looking at porn again.
for 2 days ive been reading and learning stuff from this site.. its only two days but its a start, read everything and dont be lazy and just skip the long parts and read the shorter parts , i deleted all my porn and porn bookmarks i used secure eraser to delete my porn collection so that i couldnt use a file recovery program like all the other times
i always seen this site while looking for free self help recovery courses but always thought it wasnt free , always thought there was a catch.. would scroll down to the bottom of the page to see if it was asking for credit card details .. i have paid for ebooks before with 10 keys to stop porn addiction , they were rubbish , this is the real deal, ive learned so much in the last 2 days about my brain and my thinking , i know i can do it this time i know it will be tough at times but dont know for sure what it will be like all i do know is that today i wont look at porn and will do whats suggested to me on this website
i will definitely donate some cash when i get paid
thanks to the people that keep this website going
Thank u……i’ll do as u say….
Will this work?
I do believe this course contain some substance that has great potential to change you, however it will still remain a great challenge to walk this path and succeed. Unlike external wounds we just have to apply a bandage and the correct medicine and the problem disappears, this addiction however requires you to physically fight the battle and walk the road building a great amount of character along the way… And this IS possible.
Remember, people worse off than you have walked it and succeeded, and so can you.
I’ve been there.
I’m starting today ! I gotta keep it up and don’t give up! we human are capable !
i just cannot stop it …i am really tired i have tried at least more than 200 times to stop.
Have you done the course?? I’ve been trying to quit now for 4 years. After I done the course (with some additional inputs) I’ve been clean for 43 days… Still going strong, although I realize every moment how dependent I am of a greater substance and how easy it is to just fall back.
I thought I would post a link to a youtube video series someone recorded of a documentary which was aired on BBC about masterbation addiction.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtgsMCECWnw
the other videos are related and are title part 1, 2 etc.
What is it exactly the sex addict issue? I consider that to be sex/porn addicted is as natural as breathing as there as so many sites that are not offering any protection for those in the situation above. First find the source and then complain about the phenomenon. Undoubtedly there is the true argument that one can bring that if you didn’t checked you couldn’t find, but there are as well links to about all pages that conduct to a porn hub,not protected images and so on. Don’t have to be a smart person to find or to get over such pics, but try to find anything else and you’ll have come above a lasting, time consuming process, if you will find the information you are interessted in.
I have a hard time getting into a routine of ERP could somebody help
“submit your email to the form on the right and have each article emailed to you daily.”
This would be valuable. Looked for link, but couldn’t find it. Please send link. I just applied for access. punchy. Thanks.
I have many years of experience in treating people with addictions. When I work with someone with a porn problem, I refer them to you immediately. Thanks for your fine work.
As I enter my 3rd week free of porn, I find it easier to walk by my computer without great temptation. Church, praying, and family (even though they have no idea) have helped me get this far. Thank you to the publisher of this site and good luck to all of you. Just finished step 13!!!!!!
