    I hope this is the right place to put this.. it might actually be a good place to start a thread for beneficial links and solid information?

    I had a really shit day yesterday which I’ll chuck in my journal but it got me really down on how the hell can I beat this shit?.. I’ve done the 90 and relapsed and came up with structures to overcome myself and it still comes back.. but sometimes you just need to realise what was working and this video helped.

    Anyway I’ve waffled on enough about what works for me on here before but what hasn’t worked for me recently is forgetting why you really want to stop and who you would like to be.. not magical super powers just not lack of self respect.

    Also any other time I’ve successfully “given up” anything my focus was elsewhere and I left my addiction as something I used to do.. I like this advice in the video and will be taking some time to do what he says today.
    Hope it is helpful to someone else on here.
    Good luck✌️

    P.s. Another thing I was wondering is anyone collating all the data that is being generated from this site? The counters for starters could be really valuable to analysing timeframes and trends... seems to be a no brainer if this problem is ever going to get some real recognition in the wider community.

    Hi VanGuy,

    As nobody else has, I thought I'd quickly post to say thanks for sharing that video, helped me greatly.
    Not that I think it said anything I didn't already know, but I really respect almost all of what JP has to say and had no idea he'd commented on Porn Addiction, so to hear stuff I already kind of knew coming from him really helped firm it up in my mind.

    Also while looking at some of the related vids that came up in the sidebar, I watched a few of this guys
    videos (don't know how to embed videos yet) and he also seems to have some stuff to say that's worth listening to......

    ........any way, thanks VanGuy and hope the rest of your week has been better.

    EDIT..........turns out I do know how to embed a video, thought that was just going to show as a link.......

    haha...same..I was expecting a link and up pops a video.

    I find it awesome to hear a respected psyche talking about it as a real problem that requires a solution.
    I see more and more on YouTube about Porn addiction and what I also notice is that it is getting more and more validation as a genuine problem. I even watched an interview where some celebrity (can’t remember his name was talking about Porn addiction) on some talk back show.
    For that to happen it is becoming recognised in the main stream..

    Anyway thanks for the link I will check it out now
