Advice needed

Discussion in 'Porn Addiction' started by Deleted Account, Jun 18, 2021.

  1. Hello brothers
    I am 23 atm
    I have been addicted to porn but never used tl do it more than once a day bit nowadays i tend to relapse two times a day to help me take off my mind from porn .
    I tend to fap after having sone success like in communicating and even after gaining some congidence after few days i tend to get in the hole . Due to lockdown i remain in solitude and have no communication with anyone and currently by myself . I want to get serious about my future but i tend to fap after only few days of hard work or maybe because of the low dopamine level
    Please share your thoughts on how to go on long streaks 3-4 weeks(ive never been this long )

    I've not reached 2 or 3 weeks but you need to focus on something else rather than trying not to think of something. It's like what everyone says about not thinking of pink elephants, the moment you try not to think about it the more you think about it but if you try to picture another animal you might have more success.
    Remaining in solitude is tough but if you do something that you don't need to leave the house like listening to music or watching TV it might help

  3. When living alone, whenever I felt the urge, I exhausted myself with extensive exercise.

    When you feel urges don't rely on willpower. Willpower works on short term and then emotions come and ruin every single atom of willpower.

    Like the guys said above this, do something phyisically, it's the quickiest and safest way to deal and delay the urges.

    I learned that who believes in willpower depletion has more willpower depletion than who doesn't believe in willpower depletion (according to one study)
    But I agree with you in what you say about emotions. So we should work with emotions. (Learn to) Feel what we want to feel. I think that's the shortcut :D

    @StreetJesus305 take your addiction serious, find your reasons to quit, make a commitment. Start your Journey (if you haven't already). Good luck :)

    You can ask God to help you. Praying the Rosary has helped me a lot. I have no urge on these days I am praying the Rosary. You can search online for how to do it.

    Embracing the pain is what I'm trying to practice. When an urge hits, realize that your brain just wants dopamine and not porn. Go find dopamine releasing activities like working out, watching an exciting movie, or doing your favorite hobby. Always walk outside of your comfort zone. Best of luck!
