Porn isn't your problem

Hello Everyone, I'll Keep this thread very short and precise so that you get what I mean without any barriers.

I've been reading a lot about porn addiction lately which made come to a clear conclusion on why most of us are addicted to pornography.

It's because most of us are struggling to handle rejections, Stress, or any kind of negative emotions. We lack the ability to control our emotions.

you watch porn to escape reality. You watch porn to manage your emotions. You watch porn because you’re bored, lonely, stressed, depressed, angry, isolated. You watch porn to feel good for a moment, to replace uncomfortable emotions and situations in your life.

One of the reasons we become addicted is because of our inability to manage our emotional lives. You have to remind yourself that quitting porn is about growing up and becoming a much more mature person. It’s much more than “I want to quit porn so I can cure ED and have plenty of sex with women!“. Much more than that.

We need to understand that one of the reasons we relapse is because we’re emotionally fragile we can’t handle negative emotions. We use porn as a medication. We use porn to hide away from life. We use porn to temporarily relieve anxiety, stress, loneliness, boredom, anger, etc.

Once I understood that my rebooting journey has changed for the better, even though I've relapsed a few times I still managed to minimize the binge to the least and stayed clean for longer periods than ever.

You have to understand that it's not about how many days you stay clean as sometimes life circumstances can do you a favor but as soon as things get tough you'll relapse and that's what we don't want to happen eventually.

we need to develop a robust ability to manage our emotions and once we do that you're gonna see a huge boost in every aspect of your life.

I'm telling you people, I'm very close to getting this addiction out of my life with this principle (Developing stronger emotional management) I've never been this close and aware of the root cause of this addiction as I'm today.

In conclusion, Your Inability to control and embrace negative emotions are the main problem that caused this addiction, once you know how to live with them like a real mature human being, this addiction will disappear in no time.

Please Share Your thoughts on that.

Stay Blessed Folks.

 

That's Exactly my experience with PMO.
PMO Makes you emotionally fragile as time pass which keeps the cycle infinitely going if you don't develop emotional intelligence skills.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

 

I can't agree more with this

Sometimes our brains will just freeload any chance to get that huge amount of Dopamine, But I think it's much easier to control myself when facing positive emotions.

Thank You for sharing your experience.
