Quitting porn or alcohol first?

Just my humble opinion. Get rid of alcohol first. This shit can literally kill you. Visiting real life AA meetings or some similar support group would be very helpful. I'd try getting rid of PMO addiction after staying away from alcohol for a year or so. The reasoning behind this approach is that once you abstain from one addiction other will most likely worsen because your brain will try to get boost of dopamine elsewhere. If you give up PMO first, you have high chances of becoming full blown alcoholic. That's why it's much better to address your drinking first. Try to get physically active as much as possible (within reason) after giving up alcohol. This way you'll get your endorphins from aerobic exercise. I'd suggest watching all of Tim Johnson's videos (from oldest to newest) to get an idea what you have to do to break free. Best of luck.

 

imo quit both of it.

it will be harsh month but
the alcohol addiction will fade faster than porn addiction

when u do porn addiction ur brain will try to find and exchange for the dopamine, and so your alcohol addiction will worse,

with alcohol worsen u will feel stressed out and will come back to porn again . and that vicious cycle will go again

 

Quit alcohol and then PMO. But, I myself have quit weed, nicotine, PMO and alcohol in the same time. I drink sometimes but casually.

 

Echoing the others, alcohol then PMO. PMO can kill you figuratively, but alcohol can kill you literally.

I would always say get rid of any substance abuse issues before porn. Porn might have a mental stranglehold over you but drugs will also have a physical one.

 

I would say 8 out of 10 times I PMO'd (which was way too many times for far too many years), I had been drinking first. I have drastically cut back on drinking the past 3 years to the point where a couple of beers (or one tall boy) puts a decent buzz on but at that point I also realize I am MUCH more tempted to fall back into PMO. Or at minimum, indulging in a "peek session" with P or Psubs.

All of which is me saying I think it will be easier for you to get your P addiction under control if you get clean of alcohol first, whereas I'm not so certain the opposite would be true.

 

Also, I believe that if OP is able to get rid of alcohol addiction then I believe it would be easier to get rid of PMO so there's hope.

 

Yes, alcohol first. I have the same problem. And if I check my logbook, all great strikes have ended due to hangover. Then Im most vulnerable (and horny).
Alcohol is the precursor. If I have tried to quit smoking, then I smoke when Im drunk. If I try to quit porn, i fap when Im hungover. If I go to gym, I dont, because I either drink beer, or have a hangover. If I try to clean my diet,........ You see what I mean. Deffinetly alcohol first! That will allready reduce your porn consumption.

 

Alcohol screws your mind up so bad, I find it necessary to quit with just about any addiction. To quit smoking I had to quit drinking, to quit porn I had to cut back on alcohol (and will probably quit drinking at the end of this "discipline week" I've made for myself.

Drinking ties so many knots up if you have an addictive personality. Especially because the drug itself lowers inhibitions and the hangovers encourage a desperation to feel better.

 

I'm quitting both! They both lead me down the same path.. it sucks. The work off each other
