    Hello all men! I found this Forum not so long ago, before that I read Reddit, the book "On Pornogle", watched YouTube videos. My longest streak was 6 months. I broke down because I restored the social network and there was a breakdown. I am very concerned that I am experiencing withdrawal syndrome, personally my feelings:
    * Fear
    * Alarm
    * It seems that I'm crazy, I can't control myself
    * Fear that it will be like this all my life
    * Negative thoughts and obsessive thinking
    I am overcome by the fear that if I continue to feel like this, it will not pass. I take a contrast shower every night, pray, drink green tea. I deleted from all social networks, while it sounds strange that everyone is sitting in a circle in TikTok and feels great, but I deleted everything and feel like shit..

    Unfortunately, even though porn is very fun and exciting to watch, it does seem to have the negative side effect of screwing up the thought processes, almost to a dangerous degree.

    So, yea I honestly want to watch some porn right now. I want to feel some sexual pleasure and see some hot chicks. However, this is like eating poisoned candy. The candy tastes good when eating it. But once the poison sets in, then its too late and it leads to bad consequences.

    So yea, just understand this from this perspective if nothing else. A lot of other people have other reasons for quitting and different motivations. My main motivation is my mental and bodily health though. Kinda sucks that something that feels so good has such bad consequences. O well though, the truth is the truth. There's no escaping it. I guess porn and masturbation are just not supposed to be part of a man's life. No point in fighting against "God" and "Reality" and the way things are set up in this world. Its impossible to win that fight.

    thanks, yea this mindset is helping me a lot right now. I hope in the future to have a more positive perspective on it, but for now, this is good enough.
