Need Serious Help

Have you been under a lot of stress lately? Deadlines, relationships anything stressful can cause you to crave the dopamine that porn gives you. You need to find out what it is that is causing your relapses and try to deal with it without resorting to porn for comfort and a way to take your mind off of everything.

40 days is fantastic! you have proven that you are capable of quitting for a very long time. Now search for what motivated you before.

 

Hi Iggy. I don't really think that if you come back to your old ways it counts as going back to square one. There is always some progress and even if we don't quit we eventually get better at quitting.

I've been fighting this addiction for many years now and I think one day I will be strong enough to break off my ties with it. You don't have to look behind you. The path ahead is so more exciting!

You got this.

 

Don't slam yourself for relapsing. You made 40 days.... I haven't made it that far ..... yet.

What did you learn about yourself? There's another trigger that you have to understand. You need to analyze your emotions and find out what the cause is? Stress, depression, loneliness, rejection, some thought from the past, or some other negative thought? Or something else entirely? Don't discount emotions, they are very powerful things. Listen to your inner voice too. Do you need something different from the environment? New friends, or new habits, or maybe you're not taking care of your health.

You've taken some steps back but you are not at the starting point anymore. Figure it out. If you need an AP you can send me a PM.
