Introduction

Hi. My name is Shmuel. (It really isn't, but I am going to go by that name.)I am a 23 year old married man. The reason why I am starting this blog is because I am an Orthodox Jew who is addicted to lust. I have been masturbating for ten years now. It first started before I even knew what I was doing and now it has turned into a full blown addiction. I have tried to quit for about nine of those ten years, but have never been sober for more than say 50 days at a time and that has only happened once. Most of the time it is every other day or every few days. As much as I try to stop myself, I have not been able to . I am addicted. I watch inappropriate TV and look at inappropriate things on the internet. I have grown up on TV and I can't seem to cut it out of my life. I have gone to therapy and that hasn't worked either. I am starting this blog as a way to let out my emotions and to express how I am feeling, which will hopefully provide another outlet instead of masturbation. I like to write things down so hopefully this will help. I know a lot of people deal with this problem so hopefully people can relate and offer their opinion on things that I am writing. I hope to share more with you, but right now, this is all I have time to write. Hope to hear from you all.
