Have any of you ever been addicted to something that isn't Porn/Masturbation

I used to be addicted to video games almost all my life.
It is very addictive because your biological goal is to pass on your genes and your body rewards you for it. When you see porn and masturbate your body thinks you are making kids alot and your body actually devotes all your resources to produce semen to keep doing it. That is why you get so tired and feeling useless, Your goal is accomplished. Your body wants you to do it but the problem here is that you are tricking your brain, You arent having sex. But when you stop PMO your body gets into survival mode so it can help you achieve the goal. Thats why you get energy, feel stronger mentally and physically.

 

Just PMO for me, and like the OP, I am finding this to be the most addictive substance/activity I've ever had to face.

 

What nourishs you, destroys you. - Latin proverb

Drugs are good.
And cigarettes.
And coffee.
And did I say drugs?
And video games.
And alcohol.
And pot.... Which isn't a drug.... Anymore.
*rolls eyes*
And tattoos.
And....
And....
And....
I'm a addict. In recovery.

 

I'm a pack a day man, that's the next thing on the list after PMO

 

Same here brother. Smoking helped me personally a lot with nervousness and simply as a tool to be socially approachable, but its eating away my money and time so its on my list aswell. I really want to kick the habit and I wish you a lot of luck of overcoming your own smoking addiction.

 

Gambling. I've successfully quit it but I believe I used it as yet another escape, maybe trying to escape the shame of my porn addiction and my other problems. Obviously it just made everything worse. I was a PMO addict who worked full time but was flat broke from gambling. Yea, it's been a rough time.

 

Video games if think ok now from tomorrow all porn site will be block and then what I do?ok gaming best alternative then u will fall another addiction but porn musterbation ok then games will be good

 

Obviously for people here PMO is the most addictive, but if you go to an alcohol forum, they find alcohol the most addictive, go to a gambling forum and they find gambling more addictive.

Yes, I have had other addictions, I found that until I gave them up, it was very hard for me to give up PMO, because they reinforced each other. Am still working on one of them actually, but am at 70 days for PMO.
