In the gutter

Dude, take it slowly. You are not scum. It’s not even you. Dig deep. There’s a soul at your center that seeks peace and the truth that you matter, have meanin and purpose. Try not defining yourself by your worst elements. Focus on the light. If you can’t find in yourself to start, look at something beautiful and see the wholeness and beauty in the world. You are connected to that in your true self.
Just give it another try.
You’re forgiven.

 

Beating yourself over the past is pointless. It’s over and you’re not guaranteed tomorrow. Just deal with now. That’s the only place you can still change things you want or need to change for your own inner peace.

 

Good man. One foot in front of the other. We got your back if you need us.
I wish I had decided to change my life when I was in my 20s like you.

 

I like to think of it this way. Before you saw porn you wouldn’t have looked or thought of this kind of stuff, therefore you don’t have to think about it AFTER your addiction.

Porn makes the mind look at things it doesn’t want to, that’s a fact and it’s no different for you. You just have to make sure that all porn is no longer a part of your life, going no PMO. It really seems to be the only way, to detach and make the mind forget about it all and focus on better different things.

That is also the biggest problem with the porn industry and what all addicts face if they have been watching for a long time, they end up seeing worse stuff. But like you, that is what made me hate porn and want to quit.

You can do this, focus on stopping all of it and create new life for yourself that’s just you and the good things around you. Don’t give yourself a chance to relapse and you won’t. Good luck
