Does work you dont like makes you vunerable for porn addiction?

    Dear no fapstronauts.

    I would like to share some ideas with you.
    I'm still struggling with my addiction. And i need your advice.

    I was succesfull for NoFap for 3 months ( Never got so far before )

    It was due the fact that i quit alcohol and worked as an entrepeneur.
    Since i was a little stressed out, i started working for a company, and began to drink only in the weekend.. As soon as i started drinking, i started with porn again.. Maybe the dopamine side effect? Also my work starting to bore me.. So im trapped inside this destructive circle again..

    I was clean before, when i quit drinking, and was foccusing on grewing my business ( i make gardens, and i am a treeworker, Really ambitious )

    Do you think there is a correlation between these things?

    I really feel like i have to quit drinking again, and work on my business.. To make me feel happy and having a goal in life..

    I dont see any future inside the company, except i have a lot of free time to spend to date girls, and do sports to grow my confident.. So its really a hard choise i think.. But i really miss the freedom of being an entrepeneur..

    Do you guys have any motivational stories or thoughts for me? I will really appreciate all kind of help from fellow people..

    Many thanks in advance

    Kind regards,

    Pigeon.

    What was the cause of the stress while you were an entrepreneur? Sounds like you enjoy being an entrepreneur, but the stress would be a concern. Stress can cause people to abuse porn, and if you are too busy for a social life then that might not be good either.

    Well you have already recognised that drink is an issue. It lowers inhibitions and makes one more impulsive. A potential benefit if you are at a party wanting to loosen up and dance and chat to girls. Definitely a problem while home alone and struggling not to indulge in a porn addiction.

    The boredom and frustration of work is driving you to drink and the same thing is driving you to porn. If it wasnt that it would be something else. Not all habits are bad - a hard focus on the gym or a sport could benefit the way you look and feel, for example. But it is escapism. If you were fulfilled at work you wouldnt need it.

    Is it possible for you to juggle a part time job and building your businesd at thr same time?
