    I have always felt a little lonely in my life. These feelings have intensified after I stopped using porn. I discovered that porn was a coping mechanism. Any help on how to deal with those emotional roller coasters will be much appreciated.

    The cure of pain is in the pain.
    Meaning , you were self medicating for years.
    Now you have to feel the pain. You have to feel it without running towards food sex or any other addiction to numb it.
    Because u either heal or you repeat.

    I know how you feel. A few days ago I felt extremely down. Porn and masturbation are a numbing and coping mechanism. Life without them is going to be different. I’d say to remember feelings, good and bad, come and go. The sadness you feel will go. During the last 90+ days I’ve had intense moments of sadness. That sucked. But what sucked worse was stomping those feelings down with porn that only added intense shame to the mix.

    I totally understand how you feel. Personally, I plan to get more involved in the local community to help with those feelings.

    You might even consider a pet. Just being a part of this forum and contributing seems to help even.

    This is not the time at one day clean-and congrats, btw!-to be worrying about your big life problems. Do that later since you're in no shape for that now. The ONLY thing that matters in your whole LIFE right is to not succumb to PMO NO MATTER WHAT! That is your one single mission right now. yes, there are going to be ups and downs as your brain readjusts, but we've all been through that and you don't come off as a pussy. You'll make it, and things will be so much clearer that it's going to be like a fucking religious apifhany. But for now remember the one thing you have to do and be concerned with nothing else.

    I understand this feeling all too well man. There are a few sources to find friends that I know of.

    There are subreddits for making online friends like r/makefriends or needafriend something like that. Also there could be a reddit specific for your town for people to hangout in your area.

    Also if you aren’t scared of going out in real life there is meetup.com everyone on there is looking to just hangout with people.

    There is also Bumble BFF but that could cost some money if you really want to gain full access.

    Hope these help.
