Wife of a porn addict

He has to want to quit or it will never go away. Getting him into this sub would be a great start. I've been using porn 1-3 times a day since I was 14 and am now 29. When I first tried to quit 2 years ago I had unrelenting panic attacks/anxiety and developed heart palpitations for the first time in my life. I survived for 7 months by reading this subreddit and eventually caved cause it wasn't letting up. I'm just trying to say that it has a serious physical hold on some people. The classic ted talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSF82AwSDiU makes it easier to understand the biology and may help with your frustration. I'm about to start up again and am scared to death because of what I experienced. I lost pretty much everyone who wasn't really close to me cause of the crippling social anxiety and depression that came with it. And YES semi clothed girls and even fully clothed women on the news would count as "porn" in my book because it will become a substitute that will create a similar rush as watching porn.
