#1 Reason for Quitting Porn

I'm wondering what everyone's number one motivation for quitting porn (or PM, PMO, etc) is.

Mine is simply to be free. Even if I don't receive any other benefits (though I'm confident I will), that will be enough, to know I'm strong enough to dictate my own choices.

 

I've been addicted for 22 years. I once went 6 months without, one 3 month and a few one month streaks. My last streak was about 2 years ago at 3 months. Anyway ... my times of freedom are far and few in between. I remember feeling better and then fooling myself into thinking I overcame it ... I won't make that mistake again. I think I'm finally fed up enough with it. I have to accept that I will always have to keep my guard up. In a sense, I imagine it will always be there hidden ready to pounce even if I make it a year.

 

Exactly ... I'm getting older now. I remember being in my early twenties thinking that surely by the time I'm married and in a few years, this porn thing will be done ... I'm now 34, married and have kids. I've learned that nothing ever happens in the future. You've gotta get it done now otherwise it will never happen. Currently I'm only on day 8.

 

my reason is that i was very smart before fapping/porn but after addiction of porn i was very stupid and in that time i was thinking by bad ways and when i was 10/11/12 years i was very confident and i never had anxiety or things like that but after fapping i was depressed.anxiety.brainfog,low energitic and many more things

 

I've definitely seen an improvement with my cognitive function while abstaining from porn. I wrote my best college essays during a two month streak.

 

There will always be ups and downs, but I think without porn we'll enjoy the ups more and be able to cope with the lows more effectively.

 

I think I'm starting to flatline a bit, but I'm looking forward to the energy boost after this. I used to lift weights, and it would be nice to really get back into that.
