Porn Used to Be My Favorite Hobby

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Feb 18, 2019.

  1. Lots of people have hobbies. Some people collect things, some people make things, some people go out and do things. Me? I sought out new porn videos every day, new actresses. I had an encyclopedic knowledge of the subject. Except I couldn't share this with anybody. It's hard to give up a hobby like that, that has been really such a huge part of your life, a huge source of fun. It is a weird feeling, really giving up a part of who you are

    Agreed, but it is a part that you and I dedicated enough time to already. It is time to find more healthy hobbies, ones that benefit us and the world around us. Good luck

    Is it really giving up something that's good, tho? I feel like it's escaping from something bad. Sure, it was a big part of our lives, but was it really fun? Fun like other hobbies, where you actually achieve something, or acquire a skill? I think as long as we think of porn as something good we're giving up, we're gonna have a hard time quitting.

    Is drinking excessive alcohol a hobby?
    Is smoking alot of weed until you pass out a hobby?

    Its not a hobby its an addiction.

  5. Well of course it feels good, it just does, there's no disputing that. There's nothing else that comes close. Nothing else feels good. I am regretting getting this porn blocker set up and giving the login info to my AP. But, there's no turning back now I guess. I mean I know it's for my own good, and that's why I chose this particular strategy. I'm sorry, I can't get on the "rah, rah" positivity bandwagon at the moment. Just have to get through it I guess

    No worries. You'll be fine! I hope you'll feel differently about it soon.

  7. I absolutely agree! The pornreboot guy ( you know, JK) said something that really hit me. He said we'd need to make peace with our recovery because it could sometimes be something we actually come to resent. Wow. To resent a recovery. So I think what you are pointing out is very accurate. If we are always congratulating ourselves for going another 24 hours with jerking off (with or without porn), then being the master of ceremonies at that parade is going to get pretty old pretty quick. Nevertheless, the benefits of giving it up are worth the sacrifice. We all know it. Stay strong.

  9. Heated seats sound good! We've had below zero temperatures quite a bit where I live this winter
     
  10. We'll be sure to have them put it in your obituary when you pass. "Among Furry's favorite hobbys were playing cards, Legos, and masturbating to pornography"

    Sad isn't it? That it will become such a huge part of you.
