can I recover from having add for most of my life, and missing my youth?

Question by Jerrythemathguy23: can I recover from having add for most of my life, and missing my youth?
When I was about 17 years old, I was introduced to pornography.
I became addicted at an early age, and it made mentally weak.
I couldn’t have normal relationships with people, or do anything.
I had severe add, which I believe was because of a strong addiction to pornography. I’m now 25 years old, and I fully recovered. But now I don’t remember the years before 25, very well at all. I notice that I’m older, but feel really sad, because I missed my whole youth, because of pornography. I prayed to God to help me recover from my addiction to pornography, and it was the memory loss that scared me, and made not want to look at pornography ever again. When I go to sleep I notice that I doesn’t feel as confortable as it did when I was in my early 20s.
But because I had severe add, it was like I was living at all. My mind was always generating thoughts. As I type, I feel afraid of the future. Is recovery possible? Has anyone experienced the same things I have?

You are 25 … sack up and get going with your life now… you are still young enough. I’m 24 … have what I think is undiagnosed ADD as I am very easily distracted and need constant motivation. Also my mind wanders at random leaving me in a blank stare… I actually enjoy it though, makes me think of very strange things. You have time… plenty of it. Don’t worry about your early twenties … they pretty much suck anyway. Good Luck.
