    Been about a week since I stopped again and I've realized that for years I have neglected myself. My health, my relationships and my sanity have been put aside. This addiction has ruled me for a long time and I have slowly put me aside. The longer I have watched porn and wasted time on it the more I have hated myself. The longer without, the more my eyes have opened up. I have built a huge amount of disrespect for myself because of it all and the symptom of that is self neglect. That spiral of wayward discontentment creates a depression and anxiety. I understand it all a lot more now. I think that's the key to freedom from it all. Acceptance of the path that put me in this situation and the position I'm in now. And that it wasn't my fault. None of these issues are my fault. I can prevail from this troubled existence and live a happier life...

    You are right. When in addiction there is such a self neglect and so many missed opportunities to life to the full. But there is no need regretting the past. What now counts for me is to put healthy habits in my life and learn to deal with life in its own terms rather than turning to addiction to numb the pain.

    Ian -- this is well-put and resonates with me. Keep up the positive self-image and acceptance of the situation, don't let blame win.

    This I needed to see. I'm having a hard day without MO. Everything is out of balance with me bc I'm not practicing healthy habits to fill the void of MO. It is days like today that show me the importance of self-help and posts like yours that remind me I'm not in this alone. Keep with the process, man. We'll get past past this and end up stronger!

    We certainly will! Thanks. It's been a long time since I've haven't felt so alone in this! Transcendental meditation has been helping tremendously. I actually feel like I can overcome this for the first time in my life. This forum has been inspirational to me.
