I cant do it anymore

Discussion in 'Porn Addiction' started by Deleted Account, Nov 7, 2017.

  1. I just can't. I'm 15 and I've been hopelessly addicted since I was like 10 or so. I'm on the Fortify program since July this year and although it's helped to record my victories, losses, et cetera, my longest streak since then has been just 11 days.
    About 1 week ago I relapsed from a 7 day streak and since then it's just been downhill, with me relapsing every day since then. What can I do? Can I even overcome this? I feel absolutely helpless. I'm going into a new relationship and all I want is to rid myself of my porn addiction. I don't want to poison myself any longer, I feel horrible.

    Don't hate yourself
    its awesome to be able to do 11 days or 7 days at your age, in your situation. you should be proud instead of ashamed

  4. Consider it this way. Thousands and thousands of young guys like you are knee-deep into the addiction, and they don't even realize it. You're immensely lucky to be aware of your problems and to know that there is a cure out there. Don't beat yourself. One step at a time, with patience, you will succeed before all the other guys your age even know they have a problem!

    you know what, I am on fortify program too, try to track how your streaks increase, I am sure when you started you did not hit it straight to 7 days, you must have passed by 2 days then progressively reach to 7 or 11, what I am trying to say that not to worry keep working and you will find your streaks improving.

    Your sincere efforts really touch me. A young man of 15 is in the intense process when his body is developping huge amount of hormones. In this age masturbating is more or less natural. When you feel like you are addicted then try to control it. Don't make Nofap a new religion in your life.

    Perfect answer.

    you may be one of the bravest 15yo you know. Do you realize that?

  8. One of the continuing themes I've noticed is this idea that we'll somehow "arrive" to a perfect place where we don't have to struggle or battle against this addiction anymore. Being tempted is different than relapsing.

    I too have been addicted since I was young (12 years old). I've been seeking freedom since I was about your age. Be realistic about your goals and stay strong. The worst thing you can do is give up. Never quit, never stop fighting, and victory will come.
     
  9. Thank you everyone. I guess I just didn't see the progress I was making.
    But please, do you have any tips or advice?

    honnestly, I've been struggling with p for years and was only able to make progress since this summer, so I don't know if I can be of great help, but maybe at first you should try to see what program is the best for you and for the reasons why YOU personally want P out of your life. what problems has P caused you?

    for me the problem was part of a general unhealthy lifestyle of gaming/trolling4ch and neglecting work and family. after many tries I arrived at the conclusion that no MO was unnecessary and too tempting, so I went on no P only, and failed several times, keeping tabs of my streaks, longer and longer...my last one was 25 days, now I hope to go infinite on this one... if I don't that's ok...

    this has been a long trip of trials and errors, accompanied by some serious self reflection on my life. but I'm not 15... and my problems are not the same as yours

    so I'd say, first, tell us why you want to quit P. what has it done that negatively impacts your life ?
     
  11. I want to quit porn because I think that it makes me feel negatively about girls/expect too much of them/sexualise them too much. Additionally, it's a damaging industry for everyone involved - I don't want it in my life and I don't want to support the people who make it.

    fail, fail and fail again but never give up. every time you fail you will learn something until you reach your goal, be present and don't attach with your mind and never feel bad about yourself man i am into this process for a year now and i still relapsing and i will keep going until i reach my goal. Start over again no problem
