How Bad do YOU Want it?

You're right.

 

That sounds like overkill, but if it works for you that's great. If porn is really affecting you deeply it makes sense some sacrifice may be necessary. For some a lifestyle change is necessary and for some a lifestyle change would just make them more miserable and bring them back to pmo so you really gotta do what's right for your individual journey. My problem with porn is using porn, not using discord or having friends who make sexual jokes or video games or any other things. The most I've done in terms of lifestyle changes is journaling more and introspecting more about why I use porn as well as just other things in my life, and reaching out for help. I don't really feel the need to use much willpower in the first place because of the way I've approached nofap, so I guess its just a matter of trial and error and figuring out what works for you.

 

I completely agree with what you have said, now i remember how i succeeded back then. I changed my life completely and I always planned my day before hand. This discipline helped me suceed and almost make it to 90 days of nofap. I was on focus

 

Para liberarte de la P, debes de evitar la tecnología, pero Irse al extremo de No usar tecnología, bueno cada quien pensará si puede eso hoy día ...
Pienso que el autodominio implica evitar lo q nos perjudica sin tener que tirar a la basura el telf.
Es el uso del telf lo q al final depende de nosotros, anoche tuve sentimiento perturbadores pero puede desconectarme y decidir Dormir....
Hoy es uns nueva Oportunidad de seguir un día más....

 

I greatly admire the dedication BUT if someone takes all of these drastic actions JUST because they are scared of P, I don't see how it can be sustainable or enjoyable.

 

I’m currently single right now. I have had some girlfriends/acquaintances in the past, but I am no longer with them anymore. From my experience, loneliness is a big trigger for my porn addiction. For some, it’s just a dopamine addiction.

The more I am around people and the more busy I am with my life, porn and masturbation addiction is a walk in the park. But, when your feeling lonely and you have no social connections, it’s one of the hardest addictions to quit.

 

Así es .... Mi adicción empeoró y resurgió después de mi separación de 9 años eso paso el año pasado y acá estamos, lucha fuerte, para superar todo eso....

 

I also did the same thing, but no to this extent

 

[QUOTE = "Coak Hakola, Post: 3196409, Member: 442699"] After spending months on this site and reading hundreds of different posts, I started to realize why most people relapse: they don't take this enough Seriously.



Greetings to all, Christ bless you all, I totally agree, I have not taken some measures, but I do not rule them out if I relapse, because I have been with pornography for many years, and only a short time without that, I agree with what you say About Jesus he once said: "If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away", even if you don't believe in God, you will notice the wisdom behind those words.

 

Shit man, that's all you do? You don't want it enough. I cut off my ding dong, I LITERALLY cannot relapse now. Then I gouged out my eyes. That way I'll never look at porn again.

 

No doubt. But I don't think drastic actions lead to *true* freedom. If you are no longer watching P but live in fear of certain devices, places, and even people, P is still dictating your life. Granted, in a far better way than if you were actually watching, but I think none is better than some here.

 

I see. I respect AA but I would disagree with the "powerlessness" idea when it translates to things that don't involve the actual addiction. Even people that used to drink have been able to do activities like go to bars to watch a sports match. It may not be easy, but I believe the power of our mind is limitless in this respect.

 

Yeah, I gotta say that for me personally, this is a bit extreme, but if it works for you, then great! I say stick with it and I hope it continues to work for you! But I can't really get on board with suggesting that other people do this as well because even if you manage to eradicate any temptations in your personal life, you still can't get rid of everything in your entire life, because sooner or later, we all have to go out into the world and interact with other people, especially if there's no internet at our home. Eliminating all temptations from every aspect of our lives is an absolute impossibility. My personal feeling is that we need to not worry about getting rid of temptations, but instead, we need to learn how to deal with temptations and triggers by using the tools and resources available to us by those who've already gone that way and tried things that worked for them. I've been a member of my local SA group for about 4 years now and I'm working my 12 step program and that is the only thing that has worked, and it works because there are people to call, books to read, and prayers to pray when temptations are present. No other program I've seen works as well as this one. Actually, no other program works at all, but especially as well as this one. And I DEFINITELY say that simply going onto a forum or social media site and asking for thoughts and prayers works about as well for solving a person's addiction as asking an oak tree to move out of your way.
