    Iv struggles for years to stop watching porn and to stop using sex chat room I do it less than I did but I still do it time to time and iv noticed those times are when I’m on drugs or drunk, I’m about to turn 29 and It’s taken me this long to notice the link! I know what I need to do to get back on track but it’s hard to quit everything together! I’m far far from a raging drug addict but maybe a 3 or 4 times a month me and friends will get drunk and do drugs and it always ends with me relapsing, I’m ready to admin I have a problem with all of this and I want to change! I need hobby’s and to spend more time with family, time to grow up and take responsibility

    You definitely need to quit the alcohol and drugs, since you always end up relapsing after consuming.

    You're saying you get drunk 3-4 times per month? How often do you drink without getting drunk?

    i used to get the urge very much to do that when i was drunk. alot. id have a great night drinking....trying to block out reality...then because the night had ended and i was alone with my thoughts and feelings i would fap til i passed out basically.

    only when i knocked the alcohol on the head did it become clear that i was constantly trying to escape my reality. blocking out with drink drugs and pmo.

    since then though it has became aparrant what i needed to do

    Any sort of endorphin-releasing behavior can become problematic. I give up drinking, up pops PMO, sugar, etc. For me it's rooted in anxiety/depression. Definitely take note of patterns — there's a root cause in there somewhere. Porn, drugs and alcohol are just symptoms.
