I feel like I will never be 100% cured

    Hi guys,

    So I'm on a streak since a few weeks as you can see, and going strong. I'm still using social medias everyday but as soon as I feel like I'm starting to fantasize I think about something else etc.

    The problem is that when I don't have sex with my girl for a little while I miss porn. I'm not craving for it or anything but I simply miss it. Maybe it's because my libido is pretty high and, I have to admit, I'm often sexually attracted by other women. But I'm unsure if it's just that or if it's a porn induced pattern that I'm struggling with.

    To be honest I had a 2 years streak before (during which I used P-subs from time to time) but on the current one I'm aware of the matter so I don't know what to do. If anyone has got an advice... Thanks !
     
  2. The battle is in our minds, and that is where we must fight and win it. No P, no P-subs, no unhelpful sexual thoughts. As soon as you are aware an unhelpful thought has entered your mind, freeze it. Find the lie in it -- PMO always lies. Replace the lie with the truth of reality. Then, live in the reality instead of the lie.

    It sounds like you are instinctively doing this already. Practice this consistently for a period of time, and your mind will become strong. Healing takes time and it is a non-linear process. We can only be cured one day at a time. Work to experience freedom from PMO today. Then, tomorrow, do the same!

    I wish you the best!

    You're right you will never 'be cured'. As an addict you will always be susceptible to relapsing.

    However, along this journey you will discover what it is like to live a 'normal, healthy and rewarding' life

  5. You are doing really well and to me it is natural that you feel that way. Let those feelings come and listen to them, but don't give in.
    I wonder if you are just going through a busy or stressful period. September is, for me at least, one of my least favorite months as so much is starting up. And I get a lot of images from porn flashing through my mind, tempting me.
    Again, based on the info you gave, I think you are doing great and I feel you will get through this period.
