I have struggled for many many years. Truple definitely had helped some though i was still struggling. Back in January a friend told me that having accountability with other men in an addiction recovery group was the only thing that had helped him. So i gave it a shot.
https://puredesire.org/ is the organization i used and did a Seven Pillars group which is 9 months long. I haven't looked at porn since January which is really good for me.
The program has taught me that if i do have a relapse that i need to tell my wife within 24hr. I know thats needed too since hiding it from my wife was only causing me to continue to struggle.
I would highly recommend joining a group. Its really helpful to be around people that have overcome and have been in recovery for a long time and people that are new to recovery like me.
I have tried everything and the only things that have really helped have been Truple and also the accountability group i go to.
It has been a lifelong battle but with accountability in place with my group and also with Truple i do think i can live porn free. Another good addiction recovery group that my friend told me about is https://compassmen.org/
Addiction Recovery Group has been crucial for me
Is the group just for men? My husband needs a men's only recovery group.
Yes men only. Pure Desire does offer a women's only as well called Betrayal and Beyond
Thanks for sharing! Do the groups meet virtually or in person?
They both offer both. Pure Desire is more popular so they will have more in person groups than Compass Men.
I have been doing Pure Desire in person but my friend does Compass Men online and has found it very helpful

Is the important detail that its the same group of guys each week? Or is there something else that makes it special?
Being with same guys definitely makes it special and much more personal.
Having a safe place to talk about these issues with and having men be accountable to is also helpful.
Also being influenced by people that take purity very seriously makes me take it seriously too
