Urges and restrictions

Discussion in 'Porn Addiction' started by Deleted Account, Aug 31, 2019.

  1. Can anybody tell me a good way to stop urges from controlling you? I tried to abstain from porn and masturbation my first time and failed at it, i know I can continue to keep trying I just need some help from others to get me through this battle. The last thing I have to say is I dont know if this is just me but i feel like there are two people who control me. Almost every night I have to fight with the urge to keep my devices away from me and it is a continuous battle.
     
  2. Will power needs to be developed. For a long time, every day is going to feel like the first day.
    A lot of people would agree with your point about having two people who control you. A lot of people relapse at times when they really should be sleeping. Around 5pm to midnight is for me, the most dangerous part of the day because it is when I am at my most tired or am trying to shake off the irritations from the day. It's also when I can finally be alone with a device. Dangerous.
    Nobody can babysit you, so you need to put the damn things away and off unless there is a good reason to have them on.
    If you have not sought professional help, why not? This is an addiction. It cannot be won by will power alone. It has nearly ruined my life and I didn't seek help until this year. Do you want to an old guy and still dealing with this?

    Will power will end up failing you.
    You need your subconscious mind to be on your side.
    You are fapping bcoz you can't handle unpleasant feelings.
    The solution is to love yourself unconditionally.
    To go back to ur childhood and heal traumatic memories.
    U either heal or you repeat.

    Mine is because of hurt and pain and I don’t love myself and I’m going hardmode to 30 days no PMO if I reach it I’m going 60 days and so on and I have major depression and anxiety and the cravings get really bad I don’t even want to watch porn
     
  6. I believe that it is different among people, others can be able to control this addiction while some cannot, I feel like I have the willpower to beat it. Its just hard when you are single, trying to go to school and learn but you constantly have thoughts of women running through your mind.
