Watch Porn After 16 Months Harmode

Thanks for giving me hope, i already 1 month off sertraline after 7 weeks(including tapering). The withdrawal symptomp left is premature ejaculation and demotivation(slowly fading). I will do your post

 

Same here mate. Been relapsing to porn and even prostitutes and withdrawals always comes back. Both degenerate vile addictions. We need to stop this mate. Try at least a porn blocker on your tablet or smartphone. Don't listen to people telling it's a sign of weakness. It can really help you prevent a relapse man. Keep fighting buddy!

 

There's a free book called Never Binge Again which might help.

It's not about PMO addiction per se, but it may as well be.

 

Only you can help yourself. Get a dumbphone. I ve been livinh on one since 3 yrs now. Any internet work i pay at the internet cafe. Fuck social media, internet. I control internet smartphone means i control my life.

 

16 months man. Youre like david goggins in this. Love it.

 

You say 16 months is small ? Man, you ve been an inspiration. Thanks for doing this. Keep leading.

 

I use Blocker X for Android. I pay 29 dollars for 6 months. Fot me it's worth it.

 

It really is a bitch this habit. Blockers should be temporary but for a permanent solution your mind will be the best blocker mate as I'm sure you're well aware of that.

16 months is quite a feat. You know what to do. I know it can seem endless going through this but there is a light at the end of tunnel. Try eliminating all other forms of stress as well and most importantly as if possible get some good sleep as well, melatonin is quite good to take temporarily.

 

I just relapsed and feel terrible about it. My father quitted smoking immediately, same my grandfather on my mother's side. I fell into this addiction because I was single and felt lonely, thus, I justified to myself I was entitled. Not anymore, but still my brain has already changed and I had no clue this was just as addictive as smoking, maybe more (never had any addiction in my life, videogames, smoking, social networks, nothing, until I was trapped into porn). I call myself a protoaddict because I am nut a full addict, but am in an intermediary position. Worse is that I actually hate porn as a result of my scientific understanding of it and morals (I am atheist but consider myself a humanist and why not, a feminist also), but still feel the same conditioning as a smoker when trying to quit. Wanting without liking, so true about addictions, porn is like going to a mirage to drink, only that, if anything, you drink salty water and then feel dehydrated. I will continue, because I know that total sobriety is my goal, even if I continue single

 

Carrying smartphone and believing you can beat lust!? Lol

 

Man...we are like alcoholics. This addiction will never go...the pathways will be weekened with abstinence but we will never be like a non-addicted person.
Do you remember that alcoholics that relapse after 5-10-20 years? They are sober...yes. But they will be addicted whole life.
It is the same in our case...we have to stay sober to continue and build a normal live. But...we will allways be addicted to this shit. Cerebral pathways never vanish...will just be weekened and a powerfull trigger will reactivate it.

 

"you will want to see all of them" is the truest thing i ever heard

i was addicted to a specific 3 or 4 sites and each night i would check which videos were new, even if it was 5,10,20 PAGES.. not videos.. pages..

it became a routine, then at page 18 my brain told me but maybe the best video is at page 19 then at page 19 my brains says we cant end on an odd number so make it 20.. and so on

many hours wasted 2..3..4.. hours. I know my issue but i keep going back, its dragging me in each time

now i deleted my porn folder (i didnt do that even during my longest streak of 16 days, to feel "safe") and i will try to stop viewing any porn sites. but i kept 1 video in case if i do relapse i will do it quickly to the downloaded video instead of going on the same hours long dopamine rush, or having to see between many videos which one is the best from the downloaded ones. having only one video hopefully solves that

 

Here’s the thing that concerns me - what if being with a REAL WOMAN should trigger symptoms/withdrawals?? Especially after no sex or porn for so long. All of a sudden we’re seeing female flesh in an overtly sexual situation. Worries me, anyway!
