    I mean usually I'm in a brain fog but today I had a glimpse of clarity for a moment and I realized that what have we done, I mean people like me who are hard-core addicts, experiencing all the negative effects of PMO and still can't stop. Aren't we joke guys ?

    While the normal people are living life and here we are fapping our life away to PMO. Its been years and I'm gone very numb. I pray for all of you to get better and free.

    Everyone is dealing with some shit, don't think other people are better off, they have their own vices.

    Very few people truly have no vices.

    I don't think so, think about drug addicts, alcoholics and smokers, those people are actually ruining their life and their health, but most who watch porn are still able to function and be productive in our day to day life and we don't put exogenous chemicals in our body to feel good.

    If I had to choose an addiction I'd rather be a smoker than a porn addict because it would be much easier to quit but we gotta play the hand we're dealt.

    Once I get rid of porn, there will be nothing more holding me back.
     
  5. Definitely we are, but a sad sad joke. That's why we MUST wake up and live what precious years of our life as we are supposed to live. No more time to waste.
     
  6. No, I won't think of them. I will think of great successful men and women who have great lives , while I stay in a dark corner killing my brain and destroying my life. Yes, I go to work and I am " productive " , but I can't feel a thing, I am lying to myself and to everyone around me. I...am...not...happy...as I am supposed to be.

    It’s unfortunate, but everyone’s got issues. Some are just worse than others I guess. But the best thing you can do is be kind to yourself and not compare yourself to others really. There’s a lot of elements out of our control that put us on a life trajectory to using porn excessively, it could happen to anyone unlucky enough. Doesn’t make other people better or more valid though.

    Everyone has gotten their problems mate. Trust me, not to boast myself but I know for certain many people are jealous of my life. Even some of my friends said it to me.
    Im here getting al the girls, making friends easily, goodlooking and to finish it off im “smart as fuck” and will be going to university.

    Many friends say this to me and still i am here lying in bed thinking about what the fuck am i doing with life. And fapping my joy away.
    Dont let the outsides of someone judge their happiness.
    We are all in the same boat here.

    No such thing.

    But each being able to take perspective and laugh at our own stupid behavior can be helpful towards changing it.

    True, we can't waste anymore time now. So many opportunities lost in every field of life due to PMO

    I can completely relate. But I guess we have to show up at work no matter what and how we feel inside.

    What about normal people who are putting in the work, becoming best version of themselves and are not addicted to PMO or other stuff. I'm telling you there a lot of people like that and very few like us
     
  16. Dude, lots of people are addicted to PMO. The difference is they aren't concious about it.
    Trying, failing, and getting up again is inevitable. But it takes real courage to keep trying, rather than giving in to despair and the false promises of PMO.
    You know, right know i have a pretty big strike. But i've trying to quite since the first time i watch it, years ago.
    Am i joke? I don't think so.
    Why did i succed? I didn't give in to despair, even when hope looked as a childish fantasy.
    Keep going, and pray for strenght.

  17. The more you can get your dopamine down near zero, the more clarity you'll get.

    Also, because you have to suffer to get there, it will have staying power.

    But I see you are already doing it, so keep it up! Awesome job!!

    Dude never put yourself down, ever! Accept the reality, it is fucked up the addiction we carry. But we will fight and continue to fight, every minute, every hour, every day.

    simply keep fighting, the going gets tough, but there is light at the end of the tunnel

    You know what grinds my gears?

    That we oughta abstain from PMO in order to be happy while there are people out there that still are doing it everyday and living amazing lives!
    That we oughta be strong and not give in to temptations while there are people out there that are doing it everyday AND have sexual intercourse daily!
    That we oughta be motivating ourselves with people that we never met on forums while there are people out there that have meaningful LIVE relationships even with PMO!

    To me this topic is literal - we all ARE a joke! You know why?
    Because in this day and age when everything is forbidden, turns to rot and decay and life is just this pathetic excuse of matrix induced experience we have to suffer more. And for what?
    Really I wonder that anytime I get an urge and try to calm myself. Are you put here to suffer? And somebody to tell me how I have to elevate mentally and spiritually?
    I've had it up to here evolving while there are people that have none of that and live amazing lives.

    It's easy when people tell you "oh but look at other people that have it way worse you have to be grateful for what you have #blessed" and all that.
    But have your even thought that there are people that have it way BETTER than you? Why can't I compare myself to them?
    Why do I always have to compare myself to people who have it worse? Because it can happen to me???? So the good life can't but the bad one is always lurking behind the corner?!
    That's bullshit and I am starting to see through fake gurus, fake motivational tapes and videos telling me how I have to live my life.
    Life as we know it is done, it's gone, it's dusted! Look what is happening out there, riots, people being shot for not getting vaccinated whatever...
    This is something I think about daily watching my friends getting married, having kids, having lots of sex while I sit at home with no prospects, nowhere to go and just working....
    At least I love my job as it's in the gaming biz so I have that going for me but nothing more. And I have to abstain from PMO... WOW that will SURELY fix my life ain't it...

    That's what grinds my gears!
     
  21. It's all perspective.
    We can choose what perspective to view life from.
    The only way I can deal with this is by knowing that ALL of this will eventually pass...remember the old Styx song "dust in the wind"...it's sobering....each moment counts because life truly is ONLY IN THE MOMENT!
