    Hello everyone.
    I need to use internet for work, and I blocked every possible porn site / category.
    Then, every day I search for my "fix", and at least one new site containing porn is being found, then, PMO.
    I tried going out in the world, push-ups, some non-computer activities, thinking, a little meditation. But still no cure. I understand that my porn addiction makes my life miserable. And I want to be free of it.
    Sometimes I think it's a lie - what I tell to myself. And then, my dark side whispers: "You know you want it. Go get your pleasure". And it ain't even whispers, it kind of rules my life.
    One more thing. When I'm not getting my "fix", I feel vulnerable, I feel weak, dark thoughts come to my mind. I feel that at least for the recovery time people can have more power over me. And I don't want to fall prey to some people. When I use porn, I am addicted, but my feelings are numbed, and my pain is different. It is still intense, but not deep inside, probably.
    Guys, please, give me some advice on how to break out of this vicious cycle.

    Everyone has to find their own motivation. For me, I accept that my life will be much much better without masturbation, and that all the goals I want to achieve can only happen if I first quit masturbating. I accept that masturbation is a lie, an empty promise. I accept that it does nothing but hurt me. Then I accept that I will quit and not masturbate again no matter how difficult it is. Then I quit.

    There is no doubt that quitting is harder then not quitting. That’s why this forum exists. There will be darkness, and dark days, and vulnerability. But it’s always darkest before the dawn. You also must accept that there is no gain without struggle.
