Help me! The urges are getting stronger!

Discussion in 'Porn Addiction' started by Deleted Account, Jun 15, 2019.

  1. Don't you hate the feeling when your home alone, have nothing to do, and only feel like watching porn? That's totally me right now and I really need your help.

    I know I have lots of activities I can do right now like jogging, riding my bike, reading, meditation, etc. But damn, the urges are getting stronger and stronger right now. All I feel like doing right now is staying up late and watching porn.

    The idea of waiting until everyone is asleep, taking off my clothes, hiding under the covers of my bed, fapping off, and watching porn seems so alluring and attractive, but deep down, I know what would happen afterwards...

    The next day, I would be feeling guilty and ashamed of myself. My energy and mood would be dropped drastically and the whole day would be ruined. I don't want to get back on that cycle again; it's a terrible, terrible feeling to have.

    I know PMO is not worth your time at all. Not even a minute, not even a few seconds. Don't even try to peek (that means no bikini pictures) because nine times out of ten, you will most likely end up relapsing so don't even think about it.

    I know there are absolutely no health benefits of doing that shit in the first place. All PMO is going to do is ruin your life and stop you from achieving your goals and becoming your greatest version.

    I know how truly evil and disgusting the porn industry is. I don't want to ever support that dirty business, but if I do decide to watch their filth, then I'm essentially being a hypocrite and supporting that business anyways.

    So tell me, you don't want to support a business run by demonic forces, do you? I sure hope not.

    Despite this however, my mind is like a spoiled little brat, always demanding me to get it's fix. It's like taking your child to the grocery store and as soon as you pass down the cereal aisle, your child would be throwing a temper tantrum, all because he/she wants a box of Cocoa Puffs.

    So what would you do? Would you buy the child a box of Cocoa Puffs? Or would you simply say no and instead buy the child a box of Kashi Chocolate Crunch instead?

    As a vegan, Kashi cereals are the shit! I love topping it with blueberries, hemp seeds, chia seeds, walnuts, almonds, goji berries, etc.

    Anyways, I need some motivation. I don't want to relapse again because I promised to stay true to myself. I know what it feels like to relapse.

    At first, it feels like you're in heaven. It's all sunshine and rainbows, peaches and coconut cream, vegan oatmeal cookies and almond milk. But once you finish, you know what happens afterwards. I know that feeling all too well, trust me.

    I'm feeling so horny as I'm writing this right now. The urges are starting to really overwhelm me and I know what happens when I give in; that would only bring me back to that vicious cycle I'm all too familiar with. I don't want that to happen again.

    The bottom line is, I need your help right now. I need some good motivation from you guys and gals that should hopefully help me win this battle. Even if I do end up failing anyways, at least I tried my very best, unlike last time.

    Hi Captain!
    It seems that not only you are horny but also your thoughts are racing. The sheer number and diversity of words that you use to describe such a simple thing as wanting to have something (sex in this case). And the next thing you want even more (and crying for it even more loudly) is a quick fix from the community and you want/need it RIGHT now. At the same time, you already listed all the useful techniques we can recommend (I’d go for meditation right away). Makes me wonder if sex or the quick fix is really what you want. Or if it is actually ATTENTION that you are after, which is just another form of love that you may lacked as a child. So as a quick fix, I would try to give yourself more attention, however, targeted elsewhere than your penis. In the long-term I would find a therapist that would help you heal your inner child. (I’ve done that myself). This is just my quick guess and I might be wrong. But you are the Captain of your life, so you now what to do with the input. Bon voyage! :)

    Whenever I get that way I'll maybe watch a movie, Youtube or TV Show that's got little to no titillation or read a Book/comic.

    As your mind is focused on that the sexual thoughts dissipate, For me it often works.

    What you need is cold showers and literally eating a hot pepper when you have an urge.

    The hot pepper is particularly easy to take a bite of, as opposed to going to get a cold shower.

    I recommend buying dried hot peppers that you can keep on your desk without worry of spoilage. The second you get an urge, take a bite

    And thank me later

    It’s okay. Acknowledgement of the problem is the biggest step in the road to improvement. As humans, we climbed Mount Everest , we went to the moon, we even made bombs that can destroy our own planet multiple times. Our species is amazing and as people who are struggling with porn addiction we can break this cycle. We can take control. Post on this forum as many times as you want. Express how you feel , there’s nothing wrong of how you feel. There is nothing wrong that you are doing. Visualize the rush you feel every morning when you see that you didn’t let it control the previous night. Be proud ! Face it everyday! You are a champ!
