100 % SOLUTION TO QUIT PORN FOREVER - READ THIS!

Discussion in 'Porn Addiction' started by HelperX, Jul 16, 2021.

  1. Ok, that's clear to me now. A lot of people misunderstood your message because it's not about being scared, but about being reasonable. Being aware ("scared") of consequences is simply being reasonable. I got it now.

    It's not really topic-related, but well.
    First thing - I called my RESET 'the day of shame'. It wasn't a RELAPSE.
    Secondly, it's an interesting thought. Why I called it that way? I was ashamed. I feel ashamed that I failed. The same day (or even the same hour, if I remember correctly) I decided to reset my counter. Since then, I've been clean. I'm not sure about binging, because I didn't binge :)

    As someone who was traumatized by a certain type of porn(i may have gotten some sort of ptsd from it with mood swings, depression, low self esteem, anxiety...) i don't think being scared is enough to beat this addiction, because this addiction wants more taboo,disgusting and messed up stuff and when i would relapse the escalation would happen in a matter of hours and i will find myself watching the same messed up porn that got me traumatized because nothing else can give me that type of shock, then after watching it i would be messed up and traumatized even more.

    So i would not suggest that people try to get traumatized by porn because it can lead to mental health problem like with me.

    This seems like one of those things that work on paper but in reality doesn't help a lot of people when you want to fap. I'm sure smokers know the dangers from the dozens of commercials shown repeatedly over the years. I'm sure many people on this site have seen the great porn experiment ted talk only to come back to the site less than a week later to reset their counter. Also realize that fear is discomfort and can be overwhelming. What do addicts do when they feel uncomfortable and overwhelmed? They indulge in the addiction. I think this can definitely work for some people but with addiction there's no silver bullet. It affects people in multiple ways and it needs to be attacked in multiple ways. Knowing the dangers, establishing good habits, understanding that you will be better off without porn etc all play parts in the healing process.
