    Hi All

    Male, 30

    I'm not new to trying to deal with my porn addiction but I've only recently found this community.

    I've been using porn since around age 10 and have never considered the effects it's had on my life. I always thought I was just super horny and had a high libido, but recently I began reading YBOP and everything just hit home.

    I'm on day 3 at the moment but just feeling good knowing more about the neuroscience behind all of this.

    I'm 7 years clean from drugs and alcohol but I just ended up switching my addiction to porn and became more and more isolated.

    I've been very isolated for a very long time but recently started dating someone again and am slowly understanding how many of my issues come from porn. I always thought this was harmless but the effect it's had on me is undeniable.

    Anyway, glad to be here. I've always been a lurker on forums but I'm looking forward to actually being a part of this community
     
  2. Welcome to the community and good luck in overcoming your addiction.

    Welcome
    Please, start studying carefully what's happening in your mind > https://oceanrecoverycentre.com/2016/07/the-ultimate-guide-to-overcoming-internet-porn-addiction/

    First time without porn will be stressful , but if you resist , in some months you will feel reborn.

    If the first times a person relapse easly, it's okay.
    The streaks becomes even longer , day by day.
    Don't porn anymore, it's better to struggle and at the last to relapse than to look at porn.
    No more instagram pictures of models. No more erotic imagines , erotic stories or erotic asmr.
    If you experience ''flatline'' and low libido , resist.

    An effective weapon to overcome urges and thoughts : mindfulness.
    The brain will try to win you and to get some triggers for the seek of dopamine. Resist
