completely addicted!

Hey Guys,
New to NoFap, thought I would give it a go as I have come to realise how my porn addiction has started impact my relationship, my free time and also work.

I started viewing porn as harmless pictures when I was younger and I am now a 26 year old that has to watch hardcore porn every day - to the point where I take my self away from my friends to make time for it, not going to gym and making time so I can watch it. It has got out of hand I have actually removed all porn now off my computer! I feel a little better but I know I have these craving to watch again.

It sounds so pathetic that I feel like I have to watch, like I have to get off to porn when I have an amazing partner in my life. So this is why I joined, I think I need some support and also to see if others have the same issue. I know if I can quit smoking I can quit porn.

Does anyone else find it hard, any tips? It has been 5 days now since I last watched it! which believe me is an accomplishment!!

thanks guys!

 

Good on you for stopping it as well, the urges are always there the minute you turn the computer on so know how you feel man, 4 days is good! Don't stop! I think it will be really worth the effort when you have all this extra time on your hands!

 

Thanks for the responses and support guys. I haven't spoken to her about this and I don't think I will, I want to try and stop on my own terms. Already coming up to a week with no porn I'm starting to see her in a whole new way and not masturbating every day has helped a lot , the only release I get is from her and with no porn or masturbation this has helped with intimacy and also In the pleasure department so I'm going to keep going and make it 90 days! I know how easy it is to fall back into the porn trap but I have not ever been more determined to quit it for good!

 

That's good to hear buddy! It's worth resisting and the improvements are very noticeable, your relationship will improve big time by just stopping these two things. I know your struggle man, it's tough but keep going! I know I've only stopped and even though it's hard, the improvements far outweigh the 30 minutes sitting in front of a computer when you can be spending that time with her.

 

Hey man it's good that you came here, we are all here to support you! It's tough and will be a challenge but it will be worth it! Hope you pull through! It's a great place for support.

 

So last night I went out with some friends and ended up at some friends house afterwards, the problem is when you have a bunch of guys together, somehow the topic will always turn to porn. It was pretty bloody hard to not want to excuse myself to go watch some after hearing them all joke about what they watch. But I am glad to say it is the morning now and I have not watched one bit of it. that was the most challenging moment so far but I am sure there will be more to come! but on a plus, I have made 7 days PMO free!

Thanks Ex-timwaster for your advise, good luck with your goals too!

 

Well, last night I couldn't help it, the urges got to me and I broke at 10 days so disappointed. A positive though, I didn't look at P it was just MO. While this is a really disappointing I am resetting my counter but may add another one for P as I am finding that is actually easier to give up this.

Is anyone else having that same problem? I would have thought giving up P would be so much harder but it isn't!

I really would like to give up both but it's pretty hard! Not that I thought a habit that had been with me for years is going to be easy.

Ps. Sorry for shit spelling, typing on a phone is bloody annoying!
