My 40+ days!! I need help my mind is thinking about it in free time.

[TheRightPath]

Salam everyone,

I am a 25-year-old guy, I have been addicted to porn with so many years and I tried to stop it in 2019, I make many streaks that included 20,25,30,40 days but still I am unable to achieve freedom from it completely.

I am here to share you my current situation, I am on my 40+ days and I have been successful in restraining from any type of these things. but now I am getting urges in my mind from 2 to 3 days and I keep trying to not to let my mind go towards it but I don't know why it is getting harder, like I just woke up and my mind was all trying to think about it.

There 40 days are really so great of my life full of confidence I created a Youtube channel I did a voice over first time in my life everything is going good but unfortunately the thought are coming again, I need help to quit I need motivation again ( I don't wan't to relapse my my desires are getting harder.

dude thats freaking awesome 40 days keep it up and continue with what you are doing with youtube. I get it you don't want to think about P because you think you might relapse but honestly, you just got to deal with it as time goes on it'll become less and more manageable. But the thing is sometimes our minds bring up random thoughts like P thoughts when that happens you try to push them out and they won't leave because it causes you stress, as a result, your mind will focus on it. There called intrusive thoughts but think of them as background noise

I agree with JPR it’s all intrusive thoughts just creeping out of the closet, you have the inner mind power to reject and keep the midnight creeps in the closet.

Some times a very nice example is like when you watched cartoons as a kid and you see the good angry and bad demon going back and forth like it’s a conversation in your thoughts.


I’m not sure if you have tried meditation but you can learn as well to clear your mind and control these thoughts from popping up.

You got this just keep going! You’ve built a great attitude so far!
