Ex-drug addict can't stop jerking off on Omegle

Discussion in 'Compulsive Sexual Behavior' started by Deleted Account, Apr 10, 2020.

  1. So basically my wife, who I've known since I was 15 and means everything to me, left me last year because I was a drug addict (among other issues).

    I have reason to believe she isn't interested in dating other men and it's likely she won't divorce me. I have every intention of getting her back, but based on her personality, that will likely take years (if, God willing, it happens at all).

    My attitude towards sex is that it would be best for me to avoid all forms of sexual activity outside of marriage (including masturbation). I'd rather be voluntarily celibate and a good Christian than be a pathetic incel trying to get laid whenever he can.

    I have recently become very religious (traditionalist Catholic), and I believe all forms of non-procreative sex (even within marriage) are grievously wrong.

    That being said, I can't go more than 3 or 4 days without jerking off. I do not watch porn (I became desensitized to porn in my teens and it just doesn't turn me on), but recently I have been frequenting the website Omegle and looking for girls to cam with. It is addicting because I am often able to find girls willing to talk about dirty things and describe their sexual experiences to me, and I am even sometimes able to convince girls to get naked on camera for me.

    I had someone I trust install blocking software on my computer and then proceeded to spend the next 3 days researching how to disable/uninstall it, which I was finally able to do last night, after which I spent the rest of the night on Omegle looking for girls to jerk off with.

    I have been clean off drugs for a year, but I guess I just have an addictive personality and I am prone to giving in to temptation. I have essentially replaced one addiction with another (which is arguably worse).

    Also, feelings of hopelessness about the about the situation with my wife lead me to just say "fuck it" and jerk off on Omegle so that I can distract myself from the situation (I'm not looking for advice on that situation, though. Only the Omegle/masturbation issue).

    I know it seems very contradictory and even comical for me to come here claiming to be a traditionalist Christian and yet engaging in all this degenerate disgusting behavior.

    I want to stop jerking off altogether (it is a mortal sin, after all), but after 3 or 4 days I am just completely overcome with lust to the point that I can't think about anything besides sex. I recently had this happen on day 3 and I resisted and did not do it, but that night I barely slept and I woke up on day 4 hornier than the day before, and I eventually just gave in.

    The quarantine is not helping matters, either.

    What should I do?

    Hey Robin
    This happened to me somehow, I'm trying my best to abstain some destructive habits but at the same time I'm getting addicted to other stuff which I feel pretty bad. Maybe we can name it addictive personality but the underlying process is something that is missing and we found ourselves fulfilling that essential need. I don't know about your situation, is it novelty? is it the need for approval? Or simply escaping from loneliness. But whatever it is, I think you have to sit and think about the "why". Our craving doesn't understand logic or our rules or promises that we made to ourselves.
     
  3. What I was missing and needed to find was Jesus.

    I mentioned the personal situation I am dealing with. I will not go into too much detail though because I am not looking for advice or opinions regarding that situation.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Hi Robin. I'm also a Catholic Traditionalist (FSSPX), fully agree with traditional view about sex as procreation, and am also a M addict. We are all fallen beings with many sins and vices. I will pray that you can recover your wife soon and overcome your addiction. Have a blessed Easter my brother, take these holy days. to pray.
     
  5. Well, if I recover her (God willing), it likely won't be soon.

    I need to be in a position where if I do recover her, I won't be overcome by lust.

    Last time I recovered her after a period of separation, I had been paying for sex while she was gone, and when she came back, I was ALL OVER her, and when she said she needed to take it slow, I immediately relapsed back into drugs.

    The church I attend is also SSPX. The priest is very good and has been very helpful to me. I would never go to a "regular" (i.e. Vatican II) church.

    I appreciate the prayers.

    Has your faith helped you with your vices/addiction at all?

    I am a relatively recent convert (around 5 years and a half), and had many ups and downs (much more of the later, to be honest). I had an entire life of masturbation (I started in infancy and never stopped, am 43 years old now), so naturally it will be very hard to uproot this addiction. I still have hopes I will manage with God's grace and a lot of struggle.
     
  7. Well I see that you have 30 days no PM. I can only do about 3 or 4 before I am overcome with lust to the point where sex is literally all I can think about and it physically hurts if I don't M.

    Does it get easier with time? It seems counterintuitive that it would (since sex is a natural urge and my body will just need it more strongly if I go long periods without any release) but I am hoping I am wrong and that God will help me overcome my lust.

    P.S. I am new to this forum. How do you add the clean-time counter to your signature?

    My badge was not updated, I had a relapse in late March. I updated it now, you have above a menu with options like "home", "forums", "groups", support the site", etc. You have to click on "update day counter".
    I am completely sure that a life without masturbation is possible. For centuries this practice wasn't extended, only in the 20th century it became very common in Christian (or post-Christian, for most of the Western countries now) societies, which included a 180 degrees turn regarding how it is considered: from a vice to a normal and even healthy practice. I also believe that being fully chaste is possible, and in my case, where I am not exactly young anymore, my wife has no sexual desire and we have two kids and don't want to have more, it is the only really Christian option I have. So far it didn't get easier for me, but I hope that with practice, prayer and accountability, it will in the long term.

    Hi Robin, this is a normal manifestation , I racommende you to study carefully what's happening in your brain > https://oceanrecoverycentre.com/2016/07/the-ultimate-guide-to-overcoming-internet-porn-addiction/

    Your supersensitivity from abstinence is normal , I raccomende you to not masturbate to omegle or porn in this delicate phase.
    If you are at the limit relapse without porn and without pictures.

    You should become a pro to mindfulness / meditation , and start gymnastic/sport weekly.
    When urges or terrible emotion will come with this wapons you will be ready to overcome.

  10. I used to do meditation. It definitely helped with overcoming feelings of lust. Back then I was still doing MO without the P (or Omegle or anything) a few times a week, so I never tried to actually cut it out completely.
     
  11. I may sound like an insensitive person but why don't you try deleting your account and never making one. Also religion may be a savior to many people, but sometimes it makes things worse. A lot of stuff in it can be interpreted in multiple ways and an addict cannot always make the best interpretation out of it and so I would advise you to take things slowly on religious front too.

    Start a new hobby, learn to sketch or paint or stitch. Do whatever you have to... Staying busy is a big part of recovery process. And you will need to swallow the tough pill and uninstall stuff from your life that doesn't belong in there.

    Best wishes

  12. Registering an account is not necessary to use Omegle.

    I had someone I trust install blocking software (blocking all chat and webcam sites as well as porn) but I then spent lots of time researching how to disable/uninstall it and I eventually succeeded.

    I am trying to stay busy. I am taking a few online computer programming classes at my local college. It is hard to stay motivated, though, given everything else going on in my life.
     
  13. Been going on Omegle. Today I was on for a while but gave the computer to someone I trust and didn't jerk off.

    It looks like I will have to choose between flunking out of school and PMO (I need computer for school).

    I tried having someone install blocking software but I just figured out how to disable it.

    Hi Robin Banks, here is how as a catholic I fight my addiction and why I’m on day 58 thanks to God when I couldn’t last one week by my own force.

    First, I had to understand that I needed God to help me, not just as a tool that can make my journey easier, but because I totally depend on him.

    Second, I prayed the rosary daily, every morning, or at least when temptation came. Praying a rosary to Our lady will give you and unconquerable capacity to resist to temptation, a big strength against lust. Even if you fail, return quickly to the rosary to a fresh new start.
    I also prayed the Holy Spirit and St Michael in this spiritual warfare.

    Thirdly, I’ve fasted 24h every week, this ascetic discipline is a good way to cut off temptation and to heal your body. Every time I fasted, every temptation that has accumulate in the pasts days disapeared and it give me fews days of total freedom.

    Fourth, I made an emergency toolbox only with verses. I read some of them every morning, learning them by heart to use them against temptation like Jesus in the desert

    Fifth : I used the method of Evagrius Ponticus which consist of making yourself the judge of your own brain and asking every lust thought « are you from me ? Or from my ennemies ? » and avoiding them to take place in your mind

    Sorry for my bad english, if you want more details and more help, you can contact me

    To answer one of your question : yes the temptation and urges get weaker after some time. For me, since day 43, it’s very easy, I can pass a full days without thinking of sex
    But until this, you gonna have to fight, temptation is hard to deal with, but you have to stop let them decide for you

    again : you can contact me by personal message for help

  15. Update: I MO'ed lots of times the last 2 days but without Omegle or P. Today I went on Omegle but could not find a girl and then I got disgusted with myself.

    I got very cold and I felt like I was letting evil spirits take hold of me, if that makes any sense. So I signed off without MO.

    I am living in a house in the middle of the woods right now. I am going to go deep into the woods and set up a tent and stay there until quarantine ends. I will cook, wash clothes, sleep, and do everything outdoors, and I will not have internet access. I will spend my free time meditating, praying, and reading the Bible and other spiritual books. I feel like that is all I can do to rid myself of these evil spirits and stop ruining my life with PMO.

    Hopefully after the quarantine ends, I will have enough time clean from PMO that it will be easier not to go back. Also, hopefully I will have my job back, which would be a big help.
     
  16. Hi fapstronauts friends. Those who believe in God and I believe after a long scientific, rational research that led me not to put chance, chaos, necessity on top of Creation, should fight against pornography, even before masturbation. Pornography is the evil of the 20th and 21st centuries. Our natural sexual behavior comes before pornography, while pornography was created to change our sexual behavior, as a reaction to religious precepts by atheists, enlightenmentists, progressives, anti-Christians. Non are the scientists who created pornography, but the humanist intellectuals. It is a product of "reason", not of faith or heart. When we masturbate with P, we are thinking of our body as devoid of soul, a biological instrument of pleasure, not a temple of the Holy Spirit or for those who do not believe, of primordial creative energy.
    Masturbation is not sexual behavior. Attraction, courtship, mating are the ethological stages of sexuality. In the animal world, except for rare cases, masturbation is not a foundational behavior for sexuality.
