They are having their own life inside me ..they control my body. I can't control my body. Suggestions guys. Answers guys. Waiting here
To add one more reason for our mission to quit PMO, I will try to analyse porn industry from an ethical perspective in this post. Porn industry is based on people's vulnerability. Many who are pushed into porn, prostitution or any other sex trade are people who are most vulnerable. Few are vulnerable due to economic or social factors while others are vulnerable due to emotional and physical factors. It is this vulnerability on which the porn industry thrives. Although, the industry provides them with a livelihood for few years, it takes a heavy toll on their physical and mental well-being. Many actresses have expressed that even after quitting the industry their past haunts them continuously. We have gathered here to quit PMO because of the negative impact it had on us. Just imagine the psychological and emotional impact it could have on the people who actually act in these movies. While in the west the industry is more organised and formal, it is very much worst in developing countries like India. We find people's private videos being flooded on porn websites without their knowledge. One video clip can destroy the person's life especially in a society dominated with patriarchy. Thus, we need to remember that quiting our addiction to Porn not only liberates us but it will make this planet a little more better place to live.
I think Recall how you did the 80day steak, and try to use that. Mostly the commitments and decisions and things you used to do
Man! This is how I felt in my relationship. I always thought that there's something wrong with my GF that she doesn't want to do certain things or she ain't as horny as me. Now after few months of working on my addiction I realize how wrong I was. Problem was ME... and my greed and wrong imagination, idea about sex... Idea I downloaded years ago... Porn kills real love, real sense of closeness, intimacy and magic. Thank you for your honest comment. I copy it and keep it safe in my treasure book. Stay strong my brother!
Once again starting over. This is a lifetime struggle for me. Hoping to get close to 90 by the end of the year. Gotta always keep my goals in mind
4/90 Thank you all Reading book will realise us which help to come out from porn addiction Not by a single book and don't expect immediate effect We will get confidence It make us a good human being Now I can complete 1 week without any difficulty eventhough relapse are still there but compare to previous day's where I used to watch porn daily And reading books slowly gets us towards what we wants (my belief)
Day 0/90 Day 593 at attempting this challenge Day 206 weight training (M, W, F) Lifestyle: reduced caffeine, alcohol and sweets Yup, relapsed this morning. You won't believe this but I was triggered by a video my mother forwarded to me yesterday of semi-nude cancan dancers. Once the dopamine surge hit, I could only hold it at bay for so long, circled the drain a few times, then reset my counter. Ironic since it was my mother who started my porn addiction by showing me my Dad's Playboy mags when I was about 10yo ... before I even knew how to cum. That's okay, shit happens and I don't hold bitterness toward my mother for it. At least I am consistent as my thresh-hold seems to be about a month and this one went a little longer at 35 days. Onward and upward, gentlemen.
What you don't know is that you are one of the people who motivated me to reach my current streak. I remember you updating day 68 and I was really struggling with relapses and urges but your counter gave me a new motivation. I can also relate with where you are, after 100 days last year in October, I got to that point where I could no longer control my body, I lost all the benefits..it was really bad. As much as you are saying you don't have control I believe it is your body that that is still being exposed to triggers. What are your triggers? You need to be deliberate and tackle them, I realized sometimes triggers are many, simply because you have dealt with some and still you are relapsing doesn't mean you are defeated. Analyze upto the last trigger and get intentional to kill. It may take time but you are not defeated.All the best!
I also struggled since my relapse after 88 days last July. Can you imagine a struggle for 2 months, I even used a counter to check how many days I relapsed since that long streak, and it was almost 30 days. Can you imagine 30 days of pmo but looking to the bright side it was 30 days of nopmo. I got disgusted of what I was doing a lot, and an hour later I find myself doing it all over again. It's normal to feel depressed and find yourself drowning. The benefits are always there but you will need to dig deeper. If you want my advice on how to fight back, you need to let go of your body and your thoughts and your guilt of relapsing from the first place. Try to get committed to nofap again as soon as possible. I found that when I relapsed I felt ashamed of even commenting here or on the reddit forums, as I had a counter of 88 days now I am reseting it almost daily. The worst part about relapsing is not the guilt of doing it, its the shame of doing it. I wish you all the best, and if you want a partner we can help each other out. Just fight back and don't lose hope.
