Step one

Hi, my name is Bryant, and I am a recovering porn addict. I have been in recovery since 2009. Before that I was in full relapse mode. I had been hiding this secret since the age of 13. It all started at school in the lunch room, a kid brought in a picture of Jennifer Anniston spread eagle, and ever since then I have been an addict. At first it was fun, it made me feel good, it helped me escape from my feeling and stuff that was happening at school. I kept it a secret for so long, I didn't tell anybody till about high school, I stopped for a little while on my mission, but it caught up with me eventually.  I got married in the temple, didn't tell her about my problem. One day she caught me, and things were way different between us. I finally went to talk to the bishop when I was in VA. We lasted another few years but eventually of divorced in 2012. This addiction has led me down a path in my life that I didn't want to take. Sometimes I think where my life has been if I never saw that picture when I was 13. Where would I be, what would I be doing. I know I have been givin this trial for a reason. I know it has helped me know my Savior, his love and his mercy. It has helped me understand the atonement so much more then I ever would have known. I haven't been perfect, I have made a ton of mistakes. But I have learned so much, been through so many ups and downs. I know I can overcome this, I know my Savior will help me through this. I know the atonement is real and it works. And with that I'll take another 24.
