The Good Things That Porn Addiction Did For You

That's the way I feel about it. If I were looking for positives in porn use then I'd be making excuses for why it's ok for me to watch it. That does me no good.

 

Here's something else I will say, I guess I'm a little different from the normal porn addict. I don't suffer from social axienty as a result of porn addiction. I'm perfectly fine and comfortable talking to women. I also don't have a desire to watch porn instead of having real sex with a real woman. I have read were for a lot of porn addicts that those are two major things they deal with, but thankfully not me.

The reason I want to quit porn is because of the amount of time I have wasted watching it. Those are hours where I could have been doing something productive with my life. Also, I don't want to have to deal with this issue in the future in the midst of a relationship. I guess if you answer the question the way @HopeForBrightFuture put it, then this community is something positive that I can take away from this experience. Finding real men and women that I can talk to who fully understand what I'm dealing with. It's so hard to talk to my friends about this because they just don't understand. They just tell me to stop but they don't understand that it doesn't work like that. You folks here understand that it's not as easy as flipping a switch. So it's helpful to come and talk here. I just wish someone would read and respond to my journal instead of feeling like it's been completely ignored. I posted in it and in only a day and a half it was already on page 2. That's just disappointing.

 

wish there was something just fucked my mind up.

 

I was diagnosed with C-PTSD and also had an alcohol problem. When I was going thru that I needed something to boost me up and numb the pain. Porn did that for a while till I gained strength and was able to get rid of it all.

 

I only can think about avoiding stds, but an addicted brain is no guide through it since addiction makes you dormant to real life healthy pleasures. The thing is that all addictions originate from our feelings of insufficiency, therefore if we were healthy individuals our life would develop in a total different way.

How about if we had worked on ourselves instead of wasting hours pmoing? It is a lesson not to be forgotten. We fell now we have another opportunity to stand up strong again.

 

Porn brought me to nofap. The process of recovery has taught me so much made me a better person than I could have been. It pushed me to the hollow pit of depression and detachment, and this helped look at life and find what realy maters.
