I told my Mum about my PMO addiction

Horrible move. I did that years ago and I regret it. Your parents won't understand and may even tell you that if you don't wanna do it just don't, it's easy. They may even feel disappointed that you're watching "naked people". The sure thing is that they will not be able to help because they don't understand.

 

Thanks for your kind words man.

Actually, I am using that energy for coding anti-porn apps:

I try to keep porn as inaccessible as possible. If porn was one click away, I would have been relapsing every other day. Not a complex strategy but works. Many people think that you have to beat the urges using your willpower and that if a blocker stopped you then it doesn't count. The truth is that it doesn't matter how you did it. It still counts even if you didn't fight.

The only thing that happened when I told them is that my image was ruined. That's it. Telling your parents is different from posting on Nofap because we understand your problem.

 

Being vulnerable can help you heal. I think if your parents are supportive, it’s not a bad idea to tell them depending on if you have that kind of open relationship with them.

 

Thanks a lot man! If you like those, you'll love the ones that maybe added soon.

That's what I am talking about, judging you because you have some problems. Here, we believe in you man. I believe you could do it and beat that addiction. Peace

 

I think it's a smart move. One of the aspects of this addiction is secrecy, so busting that open is ballsy and shrewd move.

 

It was a great move dude. Talking about your addiction is sooooo healing! You need to speak out, say it loud, hearing yourself sayin it. Im an addidcted to porn..
You know there's a verse in the Bible that says: while I did not speak my body became sick... this is because the mind and the body are so connected that our emotions can make us sick... so talking, confessing, admitting our addiction helps us heal... it's a therapeutic process!
So yeah, proud of you!
Keep on!

 

It depends of parents. People are't all same. In my case my parents would't can to understand and I wouldn't feel comode to say them or another person. You are strong then when you can to have confidence just in yourself, because if you think the society or close friends, or even family will help you with everything, it's mistake. Yea ussualy,close friends and family can help you, but not with everything. Even they too will judge you about some decision. So that, some stuffs it's better to know just your about yourself.

 

That will give you an enormous benefit as long as you become %100 accountable to this behavior. Let's explain what I tried to say from my life. I confessed my addiction to my parents in three years ago. That year this attitude made me become sober from PMO for almost 200 days. However; then I broke my principle of accountable to my parents next year, and I could barely have 1-2 months of streak during the next 2 years. I mean I wasn't informing them about my emotions, my recovery process and my relapses. I kept isolated when the difficulties hit me so hard. That's why I couldn't go further. Now I'm sober more than 9 months because I always avoid being isolated, I am more open to my parents about my recovery and my emotions. I have also been taking counselling for 7 months. My point is that seeking help is one of the best solution unless you stop being accountable to the people around you.

 

Did it, and it has helped a lot. At first I told them often about it, then bi-monthly and just recently about making it to 100 days. So, I concur, that if the parent is supportive, it’s a good move. They’ll also push you to seek out the next big goal, to really move on from all this lol.

 

No need to feel depressed . Just move forward with your recovery and get support from your parents. Identify your triggers and plan your routines . This will also give you a great power on your recovery.
