It won. Porn won. Told myself to quit back in July. It took over me. I have a lot of mental health problems now. Depression, OCD, Anxiety and Stress. It causing me to drop of uni. I am so behind on work, my grades are crap and no point staying on. Maybe start uni again in 2021 fresh.
Don't quit. Go to emergency tab to see some quotes. Forgive yourself and move on. I wish you the best next time. May the power of will be with you.
I am sorry for your fail,i failed miserably too last time (14 days best streak). Your brain needs to eliberate dopamine, you can eliberate dopamine by listening to music,working out,eat your favorite meal,etc. Don't quit and stay strong,one day you will be the winner and porn will be your slave for life,i believe in you man.
Its ok to relapse...because we can move on,and am sure you can too..whenever you feel the strong urge click the emergency tab read some positive wordings..it helps alot to suppress it. If it didn't help you,then do some PRANAYAMA .It is a yoga method iam trying everyday morning and when i feel like the urge is going to eat me alive,it helped me alot concentrate on my studies and relax my mind....i think you should try it my friend.. Don't forget you are not alone in this...We are a team here fighting our inner demon. All the very best for your reset friend...
Damn we are in the exact same boat. I've been trying to quit since July last year. I seriously need to get some kind of hobby rather than beating my meat. My feelings of worthlessness are a huge trigger for me. We can get through this. All I know is God help me I'm not starting 2021 without going AT LEAST one week sober.
Hey @ishee I was sorry to read your short but succinct post. In just a few words you managed to convey your deep frustration with porn's hold over you. You must remember that this is an addiction for many of us and as such it is very rare to be able to 'fix' this in one session. It takes time and patience. Many of us (myself included) have had quite a few false starts despite a burning determination to eliminate porn from our lives. This is going to be a staged recovery. Even by having a series of false starts you are actually slowly bringing about recovery. Someone who is having streaks of 1 to 2 days has progressed from the permanent PMO stage. Someone who is producing streaks of 7 to 10 days has progressed from their 1 to 2 days, etc, etc.... Try not to frustrate yourself over this. It really is a one day at a time scenario. The only guaranteed way you can fail here is by giving it all up. The only other alternative is to keep going. If you have some more false starts then screw it, so what? Go again. And go again. By trying you are not failing.
