    So, right now I'm on day 47 on hard mode, and I woke up feeling really uncomfortable. To be honest, all I want is some sexual pleasure, and since day #43 of hard mode, everything became slower, like the days wouldn't like to pass.

    This morning I woke up, began to read about porn addiction, and then looked up for terms online, stuff like "what is soft porn", what does (a topic related to porn) mean, and began to read articles on these topics.

    I saw some Wikipedia illustrations on these topics, not real porn, and then I stopped, I know that if I keep going that way, I'll relapse.

    I won't reset my counter, because I consider this as a small 5-minute slip, I didn't really masturbate nor did I watch any real porn videos, so it would feel unfair to me.

    It's hard to deny yourself this kind of pleasure which you've been used to doing it for so long, but the fact that I still look for opportunities that lead me to relapse made me think that I'm still hooked to porn.

    Any thoughts or suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

    I’m 44 and I’m a year and a half in with SA recovery. Until I started finding and dealing with my root issues that fueled my addiction I felt it was pointless. Once I accepted that I needed certain things in my life, that I was chasing PMO to fill that need, only then did things start to get clearer. It’s still hard as hell but I’m no longer fighting an invisible force. I see it alot on the posts. Everyone wants to quit and no one knows why they can’t. I still hand to fight the urge man boy I have an alternative that is not just abstaining.

    How did you find what you actually were fighting or what the root of your addiction was?
     
  4. Think of something that you wanted to remove from your life but could not, and then porn entered and just "fulfilled" that thing, it is like that.

    For me porn was used to fill my loneliness and shame, i'm very shy so I could not go with girls and then porn used to take this part of my life, but since porn is a "drug" it fulfills my problem and at the same time still increasing it, cause the more I use porn, the more I did not went out to make real relationships, so be careful, porn can be right now increasing some problem and you don't even know it!
