Newbie here
I'm 43, married w/ 2 children. Baptized at 14, and did the whole 9 yards, mission, temple marriage, etc. The reason I'm here is because of my addictive behavior that started w/ porn as a teenager. I was fairly clean when prepping for my mission and serving my mission. Started struggling again in college. Lets just say it went as far as it could possibly go, and now I'm facing a DC in 6 six days. Guess I had to hit rock bottom before I realized I had to start swimming back to the surface.

Never give up friend....we all have weaknesses, no matter how small or how big. It does consume our mortal energies in fighting them. Remember as I do everyday, cry unto the Lord for help and support. He does listens.

Hang in there man and welcome to the site from Northern Michigan.

It takes a disciplined person to listen to convictions which are different from their own. ~ Dorothy Fuldheim
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
