I’M NEW AND I NEED HELP. I HAVE A PORN ADDICTION

i used to masturbate before i started studies. it was like a ritual. before i'd go to sleep, i'd jack off. before studying, i'd listen to 3 favorite songs then fapped n then i'd study.

 

Don't try to quit porn or prostitutes.

Quit sexual fantasies.

Quit any form of peeking or checking out girls.

How is fantasizing about sex contributing to your life? What do you gain by doing that?

When you fantasize what you're doing is creating and intensifying a desire which then needs to be relieved by either porn or prostitutes.

You can't quit unless you stop fantasies.

 

For me it is accountability and I also use the 12 step program for my porn addictions. It has helped me realize I am not in this thing alone. As you can see by this forum and website, there are a lot of men and women that struggle with this addiction. Help is available and their are many forms. For me the 12 step program saa has been a huge help

 

Im new here so have no idea if im doing this right. I have struggled with porn for over a decade. It got such a grip that I lost a serious relationship and still wasn't conscious I had cheated on her. I would sex text, send pics mainly. I finally paid for counselling. It worked to a certain extent but I have still fapped to porn afterwards. My main revelation was that I would m as a comfort mechanism. Something bad went on have a m. Had a fight with the girlfriend have an m. Telling yourself not to do it will never be enough. You have to realise why you do it and then the pull becomes less. Also for me knowing I wasn't the only one helped me shrug of some of the shame I carried for so long. Ive joined here to hopefully complete my journey and leave porn behind me.

 

This place is great. Its amazing at how many people are seeking help for this kind of addiction. Its scary at how quickly porn can sneak into your life as a daily occurrence.

Keep it up ladies and gents. You're not the only ones
