addiction to porn

My boyfriend and I have been together for two years. We are very much in love and have a great relationship. My boyfriend like most men, goes on porn. He tells me that he wants to stop but that it is an addiction to him. He has told me he would stop over and over and it has gotten to the point that I have very little confidence in myself, and this makes it worse and worse each time he goes on. I want him to be honest with me and he is but I don't know what I can do. I feel like I am not worth leaving porn for. What can I do to help him get out of it. He was the one who first asked me to help him get out of it but he just hasn't stopped and it puts a great amount of stress on the relationship. He always ends up finding a reason for why it is ok to go on for when he is in a "craving" state but usually regrets it after. This is very frusterating for me. Does anyone know what I can do to help him get out of it, and even help myself with gaining confidence.

Re: addiction to porn

Go to: http://www.no-porn.com/ There you will find a complete program for your boyfriend to break his addiction. Additionally, there are organizations and counsellors throughout the world who can assist. Porn addiction can seriously disrupt and destroy a relationship.

If your guy doesn't make a very major committment to get help, you should see a counsellor yourself and see what your options are. You should also be very aware of the consequences of a life long relationship with a man whose addiction will likely get worse and make your life miserable.

Let's hope he can break this cycle with professional help and your support.
