    Hello All,

    I just thought I would share with you that it is four days since I last intentionally watched porn which is the longest period ever for me, but I am starting to struggle!

    I am feeling very emotional and cry for no reason and I feel that a fog has filled my head. It's almost like having a head cold, thick feeling in my head, but with out the other symptoms. The other thing I'm finding is difficulty in concentrating, particularly reading. When I am trying to read to myself I find that I am missing words out or changing them. And no I'm not dyslexic, this has just started the past couple of days.

    My brain has been trying to tell me that I don't have a porn addiction and I've been thinking why don't I start this in the New Year as it will be difficult to do this over Christmas. I realise this is my addiction trying to drag me back to my old ways, but I'm fighting it.

    Just posting here helps me and thanks for listening.

    Cheers,

    Tull

    Are there any other hobbies you have ? Stop reading and focus your mind on something else. Have you tried meditating, there's stuff on youtube.
    If you give up saying you will start Jan 1st, you won't go more than 3 days. There is nothing special about that day, its just your brain making excuses to give in. You start now !!

    Thanks Haizam. I must admit I do enjoy the natural world and wildlife. So that's what I'm going to do, I'm going to spend more time outside enjoying nature. Thanks for your support!
