Hello everyone, I'm new to this. I am a porn addict who came here on my own. I sometimes hate myself because I have this problem. It has not allowed me to grow as a person. I know we are all going through our trials during this time. But today, I had a mini panic attack. And I stepped back to calm myself down, then I began to think about my health. I have been in denial about my addiction. It's been almost 20 years, I want to be a better me. Like most men, I want a family and teach my future children to be themselves. I want to be a loving man to the woman I love. I am scared at times. If anyone is there that feels the same.
Talk soon.... Gibson_Fender

I've had panic attacks on this journey.I literally choked on many important moments of my life. If your body is going through withdrawals then congratulations you are recovering. You can't give up. Failure is not an option. Meditate every morning. And tell yourself You control your mind not the other way around.

Hi man, I am sorry you are having a bad time. I had been there too, as all the people in this website. There is something about PMO addiction, a vicious cycle of PMO -> self-hate -> passivity/lack of control -> no self-development->... I suggest you (based on my experience) to be critical about what is happening, but not to be too hard with yourself, sexuality is part of our nature and we are all vulnerable to making mistakes, falling in bad habits or illness. Be compassive with your flaws and exigent with your strengths, that is the only way to break that vicious cycle.

Regarding the panic attack, I leave you this video:
Also, as you are new, I recommend you what other person told me when I just got here... try to read other people's stories (there are a lot of insights there) and to join an accountability group so you can write there frequently and reinforce your intention of quitting PMO.
