    Hey, just wanted to make a quick post about me coming out about my addiction to my girlfriend (future wife). I came out to her a year ago and it was probably one of the best things Ive done in my life. From then on I tried to quit porn. But I always relapsed and came back to square one. My addiction wasn’t just porn but also going to chat sites and masturbating with other people. It was a horrible addiction and I told her and she was supportive as all hell. But I just relapsed again, chat sites and porn. And I feel so awful. Porn has fucked us up :( she doesn’t hate me but fuck I hate hurting her like this. I cant even last 7 days :( but I haven’t been coming on here enough to be fair. So imma gonna try to be more involved with the community! I hope i can do this, so she’ll be happy and ill be happy again

    If you love her, prove it.

  3. Seems you don't care about her. Cause if you would, you would quit forever. Of course, you have an option - never stop. That's what works. Always read topics on nofap, watch videos and motivate yourself with fear of losing her. I guess the fact that she accepts it makes you less motivated. She understands you have it and she's not setting and ultimatum.

    What kinds of things are you doing to pursue recovery?

    contact my girlfriend if i have an urge since she helps distract me from it, go on nofap and use the panic button and if i can leave my room and try not to think about the urge, or take a cold shower

    Maybe you should think about the urge and try to figure out where it has come from. Do you often check out and fantisise about your girl friend or other women? Do you focus in on the sexual areas of a woman when you see a picture or in real life? How many times a day/hour do you think you think about sex?

    I just randomly get the feeling that i need porn. Its completely random, I dont even think about sex that often. The urges are just random and my brain tells me that i need porn. I dunno its weird to explain, but that has been going away lately so thats good

    It is a good idea to see it as an automatic unwanted thought, rather than 'your brain telling you'. That way you can distance yourself from it. Obviously you do not 'need' porn to survive so it might be worth stopping when you get that thought and asking why?
