internet addiction

Hi Guys, I have been in recovery from PIED for the past 27 months and in that time I have made A LOT of progress. In the past 2+ years I have managed to: Stop all forms of PMO Cut out all junk food and sugar Cut caffeine, energy and sugary drinks Delete all Social Media platforms...

Hi Team, I want to get straight to the point: I have been recovering from PIED for almost 27 months. My PMO addiction spans over 16 years and I currently sit in my early 30s. My overall progress involves a handful of misguided Orgasms from trying to rewire but not much else. After 2 years of...

First time joining and posting. Forgive me if I did something wrong, hope this is posted in the right place... [This is for blocking on PC, I also have a solution for smart phones that works for me if anyone is interested I will post about that.] I just found the freakin best method for...

I CHALLENGED MYSELF TO COMPLETELEY BLOCK OF THE INTERNET , EXCEPT THIS WEBSITE, NO NOTHING. I WILL GO TO NO WEBSITE . I WILL JOURNAL MY ENTRIES HERE IF I FEEL LIKE GOING ON THE NET. OR YOUTUBE. OR REDDIT. I AM NO[T GOING TO SPEND MORE THAN AN HOUR LOOKING / WASTING TIME ON THE INTERNET. IF YOU...

My addiction is not just to PMO; rather, I am a dopamine addict. As a student, much of my day is spent studying on the computer, but I notice myself watching YouTube nearly all day (gaming videos, compilation videos, TikToks, pranks, etc), simply skipping between videos and chasing dopamine...

In my interactions with members on this forum, I am noticing more patterns. Guys approach NoFap as if it were a boxing match or something external to them. They say things like: "Just hang in there! You can do this! Don't give up! Remember, this is a marathon and not a sprint." These...

I have been talking to many people here on the forums and I am seeing some common themes. #1. Guy relapses to Youtube #2. Guy relapses to Instagram #3. Guy relapses to Tinder #4. Guy is alone and bored in bed at night doing things on his phone that he knows will lead to temptation. The first...

I want to give back to this community and to all of our visitors here. I see how many guys are struggling. Some have been suffering for 20+ years, others for a decade and yet others are still teenagers. I haven't read all of the success stories so I am not familiar with the exhaustive list of...

I'm addicted to my phone. So I decided that I'm gonna put it away for a while. That means no social media, no internet browser, no YouTube videos, no memes, no games. I will only use my phone if necessary, or for things that I know are beneficial for me (e.g. reading e-books, checking workout...

So, I'm day 40 into a 90 day no-PM challenge, and what I've been experiencing is that even though I no longer put myself through the cycle of 'urge - watch porn and masturbate - feel shitty about myself', I have noticed that on a smaller scale, I still go put myself through a similar cycle...

Starting from today, I forbid myself from using any electronic devices when I reach home from work/school. I've been relapsing mainly during late night as well as getting insufficient sleep. This is due to my horrible habit of mindlessly scrolling through the internet with my devices especially...

How did it became normal to go online, masturbate in front of a screen, with a tissue in a hand? It's weird. However we all start thinking about porn. But is it OK to spend hours on facebook with digital "friends" To watch a screen instead of talking to the family or going out in the world and...

Although I no longer see porn or masturbate at all (I have a streak of almost 50 days) and that I am adding new habits to my day to day, such as exercise, meditation, cold showers, etc, I think I'm still spending a lot of time on the internet, on social media (Instagram), on YouTube, and I feel...

I started masturbating when I was 11. I liked to look at page 3 girls and then when we got the internet I would masturbate every day. I would say that I have been masturbating every day or every other day for 20 years. I am heavily addicted to softcore (English glamour models, hot european...

Hi guys,i'm a guy on the way of reboot since all my sexual preferences,tastes and even what excited me got completely fucked up over the years,and i'm trying to return back to what i was. This apart i would like an advice. Together with PMO i've always been a internet and video game addicted as...

Relapses after relapses after relapses, one minute im feeling kind of confident, another minute im doubting myself and feeling like im going to remain a porn induced pervert for the rest of my life. I need motivation, I need guidance, I hate wasting my time with the internet but yet here I am, I...

Hi guys, wanted to share something with you all. I started NOFAP a week ago, because of my sP addiction issues, and problematic sexual behaviour and other problems in life. As much as i have seen that this program does people good, i am not gonna log in for 2 months. Why? Because one of my main...

Hey guys. Ooh internet, everything is there, no ending material of all kind of content. So this means that there are some useful, good stuff for us and there are harmful ones too. Let's talk about Porn from that perspective. It's pleasurable, easy access material. You can just watch it for...

I continued on my nofap journey for 5 days till today. I'm not blaming internet but I'm blaming myself. I started nofap after recognising how adversely fapping affected me. I had a strong will and restrained from the internet most of the time because wasting my time on YouTube made my mind...

Hi everyone, I am a recent college graduate this summer, seeing the real (adult) world effects of porn use. For the past weeks since graduation, I have jerked off consistently at least 4 times a week. I have been fired, and now am slipping into major depression while searching for a new job. It...

I know its helpful and brings a lot of information which can help you conquer this addiction.But for me internet is one of the main reasons why i relapse. I can control urges but a lot of relapses happen because I start to look for images ,video clips,commercials wit sexual content or just...

First thanks for this place and its ability to help me fight for my life and happiness. Thanks to every one else here who is stumbling out of the muck and into the sun light. One thing I am concerned with is that in trying to end a near life time of compulsive porno masturbation and decades...

Hello. I quit porn about two months ago and have been on recovery ever since. My long-time Internet porn addiction evolved into a sex addiction and I did wrong things. In last November I "woke up" because somebody on a dating site told me how wrong I had done and I told my spouse. Long story...

This is my first time trying to quit watching porn. I just recently got out of a relationship and have noticed that my porn habits have increased. I usually watch porn twice a day but spend time looking at porn pictures before hand. I'm very familiar with drug addiction and currently have 8...

Thanks for being there folks. I am a retired married male who has battled pornographic ideas and sexual addiction much of my life. In times of emotional crisis the internet use of porn picture, porn writing, and other sites goes up, and my masturbation based on unrealistic and degrading...

Greetings! This is my first post to introduce myself to the community. I'm slightly over thirty, an Internet porn addict for more than 15 years. Watching porn "evolved" into a sex addiction. Although I'm in a relationship, I started Internet dating to find sex partners and I cheated on my...

I don't know if I'm addicted to internet, but 3 days without any electronics could in my opinion be at least an experience worth trying, if not also have some benefits with it. What do you think about this? Should I do a Digital Detox Challange, and if yes, are you in?

Hello everyone! As a new academic year approaches, I decided to stop wasting time (either online, or in real life). And I want you to join in! Everyone, who is interested in living more real, full life, is welcome here! I want to write down my goals: No YouTube No social networks No video...

I was thinking about if the induced social anxiety is limited to porn, or too much use of computer and internet have a fault in that too, can porn addiction be just one more level of internet addiction, i remember when i was younger and don't use the computer i was extrovert and energic, later...

I am struggling with a big PMO addiction, and a lesser gaming one (at least it feels weaker right now after a few intermediate streaks); but what I found is that they all feed (in part) from a gigantic Internet addiction that I have had since starting high school, or even earlier. Before that I...

Facings this problem from many years hope anyone can help.

Talking about social media in general, i was more interested in my friends online then in people in real life in my social circle, now online things and interaction are becoming less and less cool, have something to do with the dopamine thing? or i am entering on flatline?

Looks like today all my life is based on internet, i 'socialize on internet' i fall in love on internet and i can just talk about my problems on internet, outside i can't make friends properly anymore i lost interest on people they seems so fucking boring now and i became too shy and introvert...

Does anyone have any tips for focusing on work and generally breaking internet/electronics addiction? My problem right now is that i sit down at the computer to do homework (I'm swamped right now by an AP class), but I easily get derailed by news, youtube, etc. On my phone as well, except on my...
