    I'm 24 , I've had being masturbating to porn since i was 13 , everything was alright back then , up until 3 years ago when the obsession reached a whole other limit . I was obsessed with collecting and watching as much as i can , going to special niches , i was spending a lot of time on a single masturbation , 5 to 6 hours , between downloading and seeing. There were some days when i spent 10 hours almost none stop . I had to endure lots of headaches and emotional pain and numbness , but i was always hopeful that some day this circle will come to an end.
    But the circle gets stronger and unbreakable I graduated last year and i still can't manage to find a job , i have been trying to stop pmo and focus on my carrer but i was so addicted that i found myself not wanting to even work , no job description has made me fully motivated .And so i decided to focus on stoping pmo , but its so fucking hard. My biggest break was for 41 days and i flushed it !
    Today i got news that the company i wanted the most rejected my application , due to my lack of memory -as one interviewer noticed . I feel guilty and helpless , i'm truly stuck , and i don't know if i can even recover from now on , or how much do i need for my memory to be sharper and my brain less foggy

    Please read this if you feel like relapsing , be kinder to yourself and just don't
    If you have found yourself in a similar situation , i would like your feedback

  2. Take severe steps to overcome this addiction. Get an AP, exercise daily (this helps with memory), take cold showers, install porn blockers... If you want motivation then just look at your life and realize that you had an opportunity to do the job that you wanted and you let it go. If you want a better life then take beating this addiction seriously.

    Hard lessons don't come cheap.

    Take this as a foreshadowing of what your life will become if you don't make every effort to beat your addiction.

    You sound like you've got it bad, so you're going to need to use every ounce of strength and focus in order to overcome this.

    The cycle will never stop if you don't slam on the brakes. There's no way it will end naturally. If anything it will continue to get worse.

    Saying that, a 41 day streak is pretty good going! What motivated you to stay away from porn during that period?

    I feel that a real, tangible reason for stopping is the key to beating this. Just thinking "I want to stop watching porn" isn't enough for most people.

    So you missed out on the job you really wanted. Many people here missed out on a ton of opportunities due to their addiction. Not having the confidence to talk to that hot girl, not having the drive or motivation to work on your CV, not even having the concentration to finish a book. These are all products of excessive indulgence in porn and masturbation.

    Stop wasting time and start envisioning the life you want. Burn that image into your mind and don't stop until you've made it a reality.
