Like so many others I suffer from Porn Addiction. I am trying to quit, and I am even going to a hospital where my porn addiction is treated by a therapist. But I end up slipping all the time. 4 days, 9 days, 3 times a day, and so forth. It seems like when I stop PMO, I start feeling anxiety, depression, and negative feelings in general. I want to quit, so bad.
Same here man im trying to quit porn so many times but like you said its so hard but we gotta fight it like a real man!
true that, even first 2 weeks are hard..i only know anyone with this addiction needs to avoid looking at porn. and be very strict on yourself.
Pmo only makes those feelings go away temporarily, as I’m sure you know. So, what to do? Begin the work of transmuting negative emotions. They are sending you a message.
Thanks, everyone for your reply. Like all of you, I know the negative consequences of pmo, and even after knowing them, I can't stop.
Imagine being clean many moons over and feeling naturally high on life and then one day if all grabs you back. Porn is the hardest drug to kick, that's why only 1 percent succeed at kicking it.
I have a question. I hope someone can help. I wanna know that in order to cure this addiction, do we need to try to forget about this addiction and then everything will be ok and whenever the urges will come, you just try to cut the link between urge and porn by forgetting that you are actually suffering from this addiction OR do we need a counter-obsession like getting obsessed with no-porn mission in order to overcome the obsession of porn. I'm just too confused. Its almost a year now, I really want this to end. The longest I've been is 43 days and if I can do 43, I can do 90 too. I just need a correct path.
i wouldnt recommend forgetting. what i've started is maintaining a diary. like i write percentage toward urge. i have set some percentage for any day and then for next day i check if intensity of urge was more or less, n then i write down a higher or lower number. if percentage reaches 70% i lock mobile.
Bro every thing will be okay and you soon live like a childish energetic brain and let me tell you one thing the urges viruses are only for intiallly period when you pass around 30 days so the urges will be zero if you avoid nudity and triggers . I have been there I had a highest of 65 days streak which was broke cause of my mind mistake but now I already make mind for 120 days at least streak ...... ..... ... . . . .. . ..... . . . . . . . . Bro, if the urges are coming you can listen music very loud .... And cause you seem to look a nice guy I have secret which can totally change your mind view . . . . just search breast surgery on youtube . and watch live one and when u see the blood , awful muscle , and many awful thing . so you will hate that things . I experienced that ...and your view will totally change ......... I am here if you need and help just free to reply ..... , We will grow together
set a percentage for today. if u relapsed then today is 100% n keep 1 hour before it as 70% then only compare each day with previous day. dont be precise. mine looks like: 30th april 60% 1st may 30% 1st may night 50% 2nd may morning 40% at 70% i'll lock mobile.
That's the thing i experience. I have urges to watch again. But i think if we wait, urges go. "Wait" is the key point.
focus on improving your life... every, single step counts. Anxiety, depression comes from unsatisfied life. If your life sucks and your only pleasure is PMO then it obviously will be disaster for you. Unless you won't change your life, you won't succed. Rough but true.
