Addicted to Omegle - Please Help Me (TRIGGER WARNING)

I am right there with you guys. For me it started with chatting - Chat Avenue was my venue of choice. Then about a month ago I started using the camera feature. I found myself getting so turned on by masturbating on camera. I am heterosexual, but it didnt matter who I stroked for. After a few times doing that I knew I needed help and signed up here. In the moment it was mainlining a drug, showing off on camera fed the pleasure beast.

 

I am not sure what to say. You sound very low. We have have done things we truly regret. We've all played those Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde roles. Is there anything I can do?

 

I feel like in the same boat as you right now. Even though it always seems like a good idea at the time to go to these websites and get a release. I usually disguise myself and then sometimes try and get snapchats and sext some of these girls.

So I relapsed to that yesterday, and that lead me to feeling terrible today and looking at actually video and images just a little bit ago.

Honestly, I feel low. My confidence has been low lately. I need a new start. Does that sound cliche?

 

Everyone fails. Everyone falls down. That is the past. What matters is how we react to it. Somehow you need to find some self respect and aw ill to move forward.

 

Thank you both, it's encouraging. Yes @looking, let's leave those websites behind.

My confidence in the real world has grown greatly, and I have found women more interested in me before the past year. But yeah, of course right now it's quite low ----> acting out does it every time.

I think a huge important piece is getting back to those habits that can create so much greatness in our lives. Exercise, reading, writing, waking up early, but of course not burning ourselves out in the process. I personally know I need to get more specific with these sorts of things and start living closer to a planner to keep myself accountable.

 

I hate omegle so much, it has completely ruined my life.
Im there for hours every day and have done some problematic shit over there

 

I do believe that Porn Addiction has to be put in a larger frame that is social media or internet addiction. We avoid direct human contacts and use the internet. For work, for talk and for sex. I'm not knocking the internet, but there are sideffects, it is addictive and has been conceived that way by firms like google and facebook.

 

I hope you all are doing well. I completely understand what many of you are going through. I hope we can continue this discussion and help each other to be a better version of ourselves. Stay strong everyone!

 

Hey

I hope you're still active here. Cybersex-addiction is a beast of a addiction. Coming from a person, who used to jerk off in Omegle for 6-10 hours straight.

First of all, you need to understand that it is that for the most of us searching cybersex from sites like Omegle. You get addicted to the point that it feels very depressing.

Know that you will be forgiven for any action you've done. There should be no shame. You are addicted and it is not unusual among us humans.

Be merciful for yourself, but aim for better. Studies show that if a person is asked "Do you want the chocolate now or an apple after one week?", most of us want the chocolate right now. If the question is changed to "Do you want the chocolate or an apple after one week?", we choose apple, because it is better for us and we know that.

Know this and that we as humans tend to seek immediate pleasure, even though we know it might not be the best option for us.

Focus in the now, because that is all there is. Don't think too much about the past or future, but you can for example plan your upcoming days, so you can take the best roads in a long-term.

 

Turn it off. Turn it off. It got quiet did it?

 

I’m not sure i understand?

 

This is a great post as I am a cybersex addict as well. I also agree that it is the hard drug of porn addiction. My cybersex addiction has manifested itself to asian massage parlors as well. I should also say, I'm a married man with children. I've come back after a 2.5 year relapse and have 8 days sober today. Thank you for all the support. This community is amazing.

 

Hi- I have commented don other threads about this subject. I think the addiction to roulette style video chats is more common than is realized. I became hooked on them over a year ag

 

Sorry- as I was saying I got hooked on these sites and it has taken the place of watching porn vids. Not necessarily good, but it does illustrate how addictive these sites are. For me, it seems to be the thrill of “who’s next?”. Part of it is also hearing compliments from people and the experience of exposing yourself like that. I am a relatively shy person by nature, so I never would have thought I would ever get hooked on something like this!
Before I came on here, I realized the vast amounts of time I was spending on these sites was a huge source of my guilt. I started realizing the things I could have gotten done instead!

I a couple of months ago I decided to cut my time down on these sites by 80%. I accomplished this by actually setting an old school timer ( sounds weird, I know, but everybody has to find a start that works for them). Since doing this, I became much more mindful, and although I still do cam sometimes, I now have reduced my time spent on this addiction by more than 90%. I know this isn’t perfect, but I feel good that it is a hell of an improvement! And I have maintained this for months now. Eventually I now know I will stop completely.
Something else I had to realize is that I really do have fun on these cam sites. Admitting that has been instrumental to my recovery.
I wish you the best on your journey here in dealing with these sites, which in my experience are way, way more addicting than porn vid sites.
