    Stay strong brother. What different tools have you adapted to cope with your anxiety? As a middle aged man I have now collected a lot of tools that helps me. From supplements, to psychological tricks to strategies, hobbies and more...we all need them and should gather a lot of them.

  3. Porn addiction will make you feel inferior to the entire world along with a million other awful emotions. I really believe porn is dangerous, it is so destructive.

    Try and get into some kind of martial arts so that you can boost your confidence and it will help you on your journey to stay clean.

    Indeed you can learn martial arts, I recommend thai-boxing and take up physical exercise to become stronger. That would be really good for you, in many ways. Martial arts can be a great hobby.

    At the same time though it helps to learn to manage our anxiety like Lab-rat suggests. Obsessive thoughts are often untrue and unrealistic. I've done martial arts, I'm not physically weak, could I defend an intimate partner? in some cases yes, but in other cases no. That's just life if multiple guys attacked us I probably couldn't defend anyone from that. It's kind of scary maybe, but it doesn't make me a 'weak man'. A strong guy isn't made through being in lots of fights dude, might you have unrealistic expectations of yourself? Stay strong and work on building your confidence.
