Life sucks sometimes man. We all need help at times. Find a men’s group or support group or therapy. Making big changes in life begins in taking daily small steps. We are praying for you, keep us updated.

I urge you to check yourself into a detox facility or in-patient addiction treatment center now. If not, you may just fall deeper into a dark place from which you may not survive. Get sober and then try cleaning up the mess that you’ve created starting with your family. Best of luck to you. It won’t be easy, but you have to decide what’s truly important to you.

He doesn't need a detox center. In the movies they just sweat it out in bed one night, then they're good as new.

Coming from a person who has lost it all and had to fight to get it all back, sparing the details.

Stop and think about what is really important. You have a kid(s) imagine not seeing them again, or hell not as much.

Praying and thinking of you, positive things happen to positive thinkers.

Always remember, if you are still breathing, you're in the game, it's not always sunshine and rainbows out there.

While there's life, there's hope.

Redemption is possible. I’m seven years sober and I dominating right now.

I’ve got the family back, I’m making half of 350 and I’m content most days. I don’t feel the need to create suffering for myself any more.

Take this as your wake up call

To truely kick an addiction you usually have to hit the bottom.

Fighting addiction is seriously the thing I'm most proud of in my life. Nothing was more difficult.

You don't see the end, don't even know what direction to go in for change. But you know the positives, no matter how small. Just keep moving towards the positives.

First, stop drinking. Get your mind right and decide that you are fricking done with alcohol. Join a gym for the evenings and get yourself jacked. Get a second job so you have plenty of extra cash.

Now realize your wife and kids are gone, but there are tons more out there that are better than the ones that left you. Upgrade on the mom then call the new kids whatever you called your old ones. Tell them it is just nicknames and it will help with the bonding.

The most important part is to ban yourself from booze, get physically shredded at the gym, and put away a ton of cash by year's end. Then, find the new woman and kids. By waiting until January, you can miss all the expense of buying them a bunch of Christmas crap.

And last, come back in a year and start this thread again. See how many fall for it next year.

Good luck.

Don’t know about other posters, but I’ve been there. I’ve been right where you are and it’s sucks. It’s very dark.

Make it through the night and tomorrow don’t do anything except check yourself into detox or treatment first thing before you can get drunk or high. If you feel like you’re not strong enough, call someone right now to come get you first thing in the morning. Many places will take you on the spot. At the very least go to a meeting and get a sponsor.

You’re not in this alone and it’s not something that’s meant to be fought alone.

There’s a new and exciting life waiting for you.
Go and take it.


Prayer said.

Great point. Oddly enough people dont take porn addition seriously yet, generally speaking. It legitimately ruins people's relationships and lives.

No where to go but up. Prove them all wrong, win back your kids. Your best is ahead of you

People are very forgiving and love a redemption story. It's a long road but start tonight. Keep yourself busy, read..etc.

I've been there a couple of times
