    hey guys I'm a little bummed that I had to come back here (tough to talk about it with anyone in person) but it's been a 3 year battle of wanting to lay off porn completely but not getting it done. I've had some decent clean streaks but have always fell back to porn and it's always from rationalizing, and of course it's never worth it. I think I'm getting too comfortable with the unhealthy cycle. As I've noticed when I'm clean of course my life improves.

    For those of you that have been at it for a while and finally succeeded I was just wondering if you guys could share what really helped you get over the hump and stop relapsing, dabbling or going full blown again.

    (Personally I know you have to stay vigilant about it and there's no permanent fix because my first year when I had a girlfriend I thought I was in the clear forever and was obviously wrong after we went our separate ways.)

    thanks for reading and any feedback.

    Some might say that porn has brought them unhappiness. I dont believe this was the case for me. I turned to porn because I was unhappy with myself. Giving up porn has helped me to see this. You have to find out what isn't real to find what is real. You have to really work on yourself. For instance, I had a terrible fear of rejection. So I went to work to overcome this. If you face this kind of stuff, you'll experience pain like never before. Eventually, you'll learn to laugh at yourself. I was taught early on that rejection is something to be feared. I had to unlearn this. Rejection is actually a normal part of life. I use rejection as an example. Perhaps there are areas in your life that need to be unlearned. I'm still unlearning. Recovery becomes fun when you can see this about yourself. If you can make it to the other side of this, you'll come to see pain as opportunity. The first step is coming to the realization that giving this up this is your only option.
