    Hi guys,

    I'm entering the third year of my battle against porn addiction, and I think I've never been this far from my goal.

    There have been many periods where I thought like I was finally on the right track, that I had a good grip on everything... I somehow got pegged back each time, and this has sucked all my hopes, aspirations and strength out of me. I'm basically a dead man walking. I can't resist anymore, I'm so confused that I don't even know where to start with to get back on track, I'm angry all the time, and the simple thought of starting it all again not only frightens me, but makes me live an absolutely shit life (I've given up on fitness, I don't see my friends anymore, etc).

    Not so long ago, I had 3 startup projects, a graduation to look forward to, and lots of other things. Suddenly, I feel like I'm on the cusp of a depression.

    Could someone please help me to get back on track? This is the worst phase of my life by a mile.

    With a violated soul and a heart torn to shreds.

    Thank you.

    Sometimes, 3 years doesn't seem like such a long time. Have you learned some tricks along the way? Have you learned the ways that you tend to fail? Overall, if you are hitting a bottom, then it is very likely that you'll be able to make a turnaround!

    “A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions--as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him answers above all.”
    Friedrich Nietzsche

    The power of the journal is that it forces us to express our thoughts in an intelligent and understandable way. Hidden within the 'somehow' of your getting 'pegged' back each time are the answers that will be key to your future success.

    This will not be easy, but it will be profitable.
    Please share some of the details of your failed attempts.

    Be Strong My Friend.

    Of course hxh. I learned many things, which is the reason why I feel hopeless. Despite what I learned (and I think I have pretty much learned and tried every trick/method possible), I'm still completely unable to change anything. I have all the tools and tricks, there have been many times where I felt like I was finally getting it right... But no.

    I think that it would take an eternity for me to tell you everything I tried, in which circumstances I failed (and nearly succeeded), etc. The only thing I can tell you is that I'm absolutely exhausted. Despite being a very positive guy who loves giving advice to others, I'm starting to accept the fact that I'll never manage to get rid of it. I know I should not, but I can't help myself.

    i've got no inspiration whatsoever, and the prospect of trying again with a method that has proved to be a failure literally makes me want to throw up.

    Could you tell me what has worked for you?
