I Feel Like One Of The Most Deluded Men In The World

Discussion in 'Porn Addiction' started by Deleted Account, Sep 15, 2022.




  1. Every week is the same for me. I browse porn daily, often masterbating almost each day of the week.

    I lurk the forums daily, looking for "That one perfect post" that will turn a lightbulb on in my head, and give me the motivation to change.

    Despite this, I realise no one can do this for me, it's my decision to make whether to be a slave to porn, or get out and live life.

    My username is hypocritical, I ain't done any rebooting since I started this account.

    Any advice on how to just get up and get started and to stop looking at the past?

    The path of a journey starts with the first few steps. If all you can muster is to stay free from it for an hour, then do that. Once you make it that hour, then go for another, then a day, etc. You'll start to feel a bit better the longer you go and your head will get clearer. Not saying it will be an easy path, but you can do it. Think of the reasons why you want to be PMO free and focus on those. At the beginning of this journey it will take a lot of white-knuckling to get through. Use techniques that work for you to pull you away from the urges; exercise, meditation/prayer, reading, podcasts, engaging in something creative like music or art, journaling. We are built for connection so the more you can move away from isolation and into connection with others, the better. Get together with friends or family and plan for the next time, the anticipation of that helps. Call or message a friend when you feel like you're slipping in the wrong direction. But the longer term way to address this is to try to understand what is beneath and behind the PMO behavior. You chose PMO as your solution; solution to what? Is it childhood things like abuse or trauma not dealt with, is it feeling insecure or not appreciated, or resentment, or loneliness, etc. Lots of potential reasons and if you can dig deep and address those, the higher likelihood you'll have success. And if you can summon up the vulnerability to share this, voice it out loud to a real live human being, a therapist, a highly trusted friend, etc., NoFap support group, 12 Step group like SAA or SA, there is so much power in voicing this and letting it out. Helps it to lose its power over you. But to me, the main point is that you can not do this alone. PMO is born in secrecy and isolation. You need to bring it out of the dark and into the light of honesty and connection. Best wishes.

    Good post, thanks.
     
  4. Thank you Robindale for your post. I'm saving your comment to my PC and I will meditate on it, these steps are very rational to me. Like you said, I need to connect with others and come out of the isolation. I have way too many opportunities when I am on my own and then the porn use thrives.

    Whenever you get urges peppermint oil on your hands and immediately go outside. A- you won't wack it because it's a crime to do so outside your home, and B- you will absolutely not want to wack it with peppermint oil on your hands, your dick will be in hardcore pain. This is what I am currently doing to myself to defeat the addict. He has been a real nasty bastard but I got my running shoes and peppermint oil and im ready to get outside in a heartbeat if I need to. And I'll walk and I'll just look around me and breathe the air and then I'll breathe the peppermint on my hands to calm me. And I'll walk for an hour until my mind will reset. Then I will walk back into my house and immediately go do something productive to make my brain realize that I am in charge and that it's pathways can be and will be fucking destroyed, because I damn well said so.
