43 year addiction to PMO. I'm on the low end of "progress". I haven't been getting it done. Feeling sad but hopeful. Appreciate this thread.

Very true words, I’ve been an addict for about 20 years, and the last 3 months with no PM, has made a huge impact in my life physically and mentally.

It's somehow strange to identify yourself with almost everything you listed, i saw myself there and still my mind keep going "come on, you're not addicted" and when i think that at the same moment i also think "that's an addicted thinking, you're addicted, face it!".

STOP PORN NOW !

Especially if you are a teen or young adult you need to address this right now.
First if you are using porn you are and addict get that clear, there is no such thing as recreational porn, thats like saying you can use recreational Meth, or Heroine.
I have used porn 45 years since I was around 10. Yes ten, due to what I think was abuse at the time. but I continued the addiction myself.

Agree or don't this is the facts as I write this I have my first 93 days ever.
But you are me, in the making don't kid yourself like I did.

Words I wish I was told when I was younger.

Porn does this :

Makes you and addict, don't think you are.. you watch porn you are !

Porn rewires your brain to thinking that its a normal way to release and deal with lives pressures.

It will screw up intimacy on all levels from friends to partners.

You will realize you put porn first over many other things you could have done.

You will spend 10's of thousands on Porn, don't care if its free it will costs you $$$$.

It will make other addictions easier to get involved in.

Over 70% of porn users also have other addictions.

It will kill your confidence, I am a very outgoing person and this stunted me big time I am only now breaking free after 45 years.

In some cases abuse follows use, its estimated 45% of those that watch porn have other sexual issues, be abuse, molesting, multiple partners, sexual deviance even criminally.

There is no cure for porn addiction, but there is management and a way to live porn free. But you are and will always be an addict get that settled now.

It will and can effect your anxiety and develop panic attacks, rage feelings and depression. That can take along time to cure.

It is estimated that 1 in 4 porn users will developer long term migraines, tinnitus, and even bowel issues.

You cause harm to your body just like a Meth or Heroine addict, porn can permanently deplete dopamine levels and kill the receptors. This is why Meth and Heroine users can actually end up losing emotional feelings like happy and sad.

Porn makes you stupid, yes in the very real sense porn helps destroy cognitive connections in the brain by effecting serotonin levels.

Do you know that relapsing is worse then the porn its self. To some degree that up and down of Serotonin and dopamine when you use and stop can wear your nerve responses down and can cause numbness sometime permanent in your extremities due to the damage of nerve endings leaving stoke like symptoms.

The good new is you can recover from porn addiction, not cure but recover.
The longer you wait to quit, the more your body adapts to the porn use life style.
The longer you wait the more a chance of long long term recovery of damage to your body or irreversible issues can occur. I plead with you now, quit now. People say they relapse that will happen but thats just another nice word addicts use to justify a restart.
Other issues like ED, and mood swings can reverse and you can feel healthy again and find healthy relationships. But using porn and relapsing wont help one bit.

It took me 45 years and I am paying the price with my body, even my own arrogance I knew 15 years ago my body was changing but the draw to use was too strong for this user to bare. Mostly because my addiction in the beginning had no internet, no NOfap sites no books on quitting. I was like a kid in a candy store went from Mags and VHS to on demand internet porn. I pray each day for strength to endure, if I can do this after 45 years. You can do it as well. I get it....its hard as hell no one knows that more then me. But I now have the tools to try and manage this, I owe my sobriety to myself, my family and also to all of you and that helps me fight as I don't want to see one more person waste half there life on this garbage like did.

SO IN CASE I WAS NOT CLEAR :

STOP PORN NOW !
Video says it all...

Subhanallah!
Thank you for writing this. I was litterally on the verge of relapsing. I'm on day 4 and have a Lifechanging exam in May.. I really don't want my selfesteem, confidance, and cognitive abilities to perish at this critical period of time! There's absolutely no chance of leading an accomplished, happy life and at the same time being addicted to this.
