I discovered illegal pornography on the web and I was so disappointed and disturbed that I went to work to eradicate child porn then one day I start watching child porn, and instead of being disgusted by it I am xxxxx xxxx like I never was. I don’t think I’ll ever recover from being addicted to child pornography.
