Hey guys,
I need some advice. Right now I'm almost 6 days into rebooting and it's getting harder and harder every day.
I hoped I would gain energy from quitting porn but quiet the opposite is happening. It's taking so much energy to just abstain from relapsing I have nothing left for anything else. I still feel like I am wasting my days away, which ironically make the urges worse.
What can I do about this? Is this very common? And how long will it last?
On another topic, I have a question about my addiction. I never had a strong addiction to porn videos, though simple nude images I did watch a lot.
This wasn't my main addiction though. After leaving an abusive relationship followed by serious loneliness and immense stress, I got an interest in BSDM chatrooms.
I could spend hours scrolling through chatrooms, hoping to find someone with the same interests to have a very dom-sub orientated relationship.
The weird thing is, the second I found someone willing to go there, maybe even willing to send nudes, the addiction left me and I filled with regret. I would apologize and quit all chatrooms... only to crave another try the next day.
I treat this addiction the same as a normal porn addiction, however I would really like to know your opinions. Am I weird? Do more people struggle with this? How do I prevent myself from going back this path?(The urges are getting close to overwhelming)
