Trying to gain control over the natural urges. Have read some materials on the site and some of the threads. Seems like others have seen results. 

Hoping for the same. 

Incredible post. Keep them coming. Your honesty is key and you will eventually reach freedom. I suggest that you reach out to Hashem Help Me at michelgelner@gmail.com when you feel ready to do so. There are many on GYE regularly reading The Battle of the Generation. You can access it over here:

Great attitude. Sometimes it can take a lot of hard work but once we have a long term goal and we make small steps to reach that goal we will eventually reach freedom. You are doing an amazing job and it is great to see how you are growing. If you find it helpful there is no reason to be afraid to post something vulnerable. We have all been there and we understand these struggles all too well. What counts is that you aren't giving up and that you are working hard. The end result is in Hashem's hands. With work, determination, friends and faith you will reach your goals. Keep up your good work.

Welcome. 
I am a bachur also, not sure if we have similar circumstances but also working to get out of the shmutz you’re not alone. Hatzlacha!! 

Welcome. 

I am a bachur also, not sure if we have similar circumstances but also working to get out of the shmutz you’re not alone. Hatzlacha!! Im truly inspired by other bachurim who manage to resist the temptations that bombard and trigger us constantly. With no permitted outlet for these sensations, it presents with an untenable situation. For me trigger avoidance is the most effective solution, but not always practical. I struggle with the challenges and sometimes succumb, but from reading the material here, and    with the support, encouragement and inspiration  from some of my friends here, I continue to make progress. As a bachur, we should take pride in even minuscule accomplishments. But to be clear, it’s  continuous battle with the urges.
