ok so 5 days in and I don't really feel like my life is getting on track yet but the need to pmo has pretty much subsided, or at least doesn't happen so strongly making pushing it to the back if my mind a lot easier, but I've convinced myself that it's not going how it should be so I'm almost trying to force myself to get urges if that makes sense,". I know I must be an addict ( refer to my other posts)but Should I be worried? Mainly because I'm not sure what sort of pace everything should be happening. Thanks everyone for reading
I wouldn't be too concerned, 5 days in isn't really that long. Some people just take longer than others, it all depends on the individual. After all, you didn't get here in 5 days, so expecting to be back to "normal" in 5 days is IMHO a bit unrealistic. Just keep on keeping on and one day you'll be a new man!
I think I get too caught up on being so unlike everyone else I take things out if proportion, probably why viewing porn became a long term every day activity, porn isn't gonna say your life is going in the wrong direction and it felt like a safe place. Backfired for the outside world where it really counts, that's why I'm doing this thanks for your sound advice though! I can rest my heart a little but more now!i mean I started watching porn when I was 12 escalating from pictures to videos as the years went on and I'm 19 now. To be frank I can't remember a time of normality!
You're welcome. At least you're getting into this early while you still have most of your life ahead of you. I'm 51, and have been a heavy porn user for a loooonnnnnggggg time. When I think back at all the time I wasted when I could have been doing so many other worthwhile things, it actually makes me physically ill.
The first few days will always be difficult man, your body needs to adapt to this new "life style". Like Fapbuster said PMO is just like any other addiction. Stay strong!
I'm yet to understand the meaning behind motivation which is what's dragging me down right now, I have no motivation when in social situations as I feel socially inadequate and as a fence I just feel apathetic towards everything I do, hear and see, no change since as long as I can remember. I just want to know is this normal for a pmo addict and if there is anything I can put into place to turn this lack of caring into something that makes me feel like I can be a person again Thanks for your help
To add, I suffered from depression for a long time and got over it only to be left with an amount of emptiness, I'm just looking for any glimmer of hope really
