Introduction

After finding out about my husband's pornography addiction the first time, I was devastated. He was very sorry and committed to leave porn behind. We went to a counselor and I forgave him. I thought that chapter in our lives was over- we had dealt with, beat it, and were moving on.

This past October, he admitted to me that he had started looking at internet porn again. This time, it cost him his job. I struggled so hard to forgive him. He found a counseling class for couples that we attended for 11 weeks. In this class, I met other women going through the same thing I was. It was so beneficial for me to speak with other women about what I was going through. We have learned to lean on each other.

After the class was over, most of us particpated in e-mailing each other and checking in. We even met for dinner! It was mentioned in an e-mail by one of us that we should form some type of support group- a place for other women to feel the acceptance and love that we had felt by opening up to each other. We even joked about acronyms for our support group.

I had been thinking about this for a few weeks when I realized that a blog would be a great start. I have my own personal and family blog that I write in almost once a day and it is has been a great way to share ideas, connect with loved ones, etc.

So this blog is for all of us- all of the original group in that class, all those who will come after us to that class and for all of you who are struggling with this problem in your marriage.

I've often thought that there is nothing stronger in this world than women uniting to accomplish a common goal. My goal, our goal, is simply:

To provide a loving forum for wives whose husbands have pornography addictions. To be a support to one another, to encourage each other to keep going, to help find addional resources and most of all, to let you know that you are not alone.
