    Twelve Years As A Slave.
    No, it is not about the famous book from Solomon Northup, not even about the movie adaption after it.
    No, it is about my own life.

    Just realised now it has been twelve years as a porn junkie, everytime starting the streak again, just to relapse after 1-2 weeks. My maximum streak of continous no PMO in all those 12 years was 4 months.
    Sometimes I wonder if being an cocaine,heroine addict would had been better than this..


    I am 27 now, I have been into some lame,pathetic fantasy for twelve years now, excluding the years before when I was into vanilla porn.
    For more information about my story, my obsession and my problems you can read it here, when I cried for help for the first time on this forum :

    I don't have the slighest idea why am I writing this right now, as I am in a tipsy mood, with my hopes to the bottom of the ocean of ever becoming normal again.

    It has been a continous struggle with this, all those damn years, a continous battle with my side always on the losing side.

    I do not know how much this can be going on, just as I said above, I am 27 years old now....I am ashamed of who I am and what I am doing with my life, I do not wish to be the same when I am 30-40 or 50.
    You already guessed/saw that I acknowledged my addiction, so thats a first step of the reboot, right?

    I wonder if ALWAYS feeling guilty after masturbation is doing any better to my mind ? Is there any hope ?

    I mean....if you have read the link above you know what demons I am struggling with all the time, something I would never ever do in real life with my girlfriend/wife. Everytime when I orgasm to the thought, apart for those 4-5 seconds of maximum pleasure, afterwards I feel like the shittiest person on this whole earth.

    Does this still means I have a hope of recovering?
    What I meant to say is...would it had been way worse if I would wish the same thing even after I orgasm, without changing my mind ? I hope you fellas can understand what I write here as I am not in a sober mood, and I am damn glad you are just some strangers to whom I can confess everything without being identified.

    Thank you again !

    P.S What I am listening at this moment, and somehow it makes me feel overcoming this:

  2. Hi bro.
    I deeply can relate, I am 22 and I feel like the past which you wrote might be as well written by me myself.
    My longest streak was also about slightly more over 4 months mark, usually I tend to fall back to old habits after a week or two, and like you said, just few seconds of pleasure ALWAYS brings the feeling of guilt and shame.

    I believe you have the possibility of recovering, that is for sure, but somehow something is blocking you, I feel exactly the same way.

    Do to have any tips how we might avoid falling into the same trap one more time? What could we do?

    Best wishes to you

    Hey there ,

    Thx for reply.

    I do not know to answer your question or help you, as I am a broken man.
    Actually can I be called a man at all? I sometimes wonder this.

    I have fallen in this trap over and over and over again all those years. For me, its like a Groundhog day, I just know when I feel the urge to masturbate, I know I do not have the will to resist, I know that I feel guilty afterwards and wishing I would turn back the time just 1 minute before, but even if I know all this, I still do it. I am sure I am not the only one here with those addictions.
     
  4. No, you aren't broken man. Even if you have had the troubles in the past it doesn't mean you have lost.

    Yes, you are a man, and you are stonger than you think. You aim to be better, to leave the PMO behind. Some people doesn't do anything with it and just live the pornographic livestyle without considering stopping.

    No matter how many times we have relapsed, we always can stop PMO'ing, there's always hope. Lets don't give up!

    We have to be smarter than ourselves, we have to predict that we might fall again, but with the consciousness of that while being aware we can get healed and live the healthy live. That's what I wish to you.

    Good luck and take care of you

    I've been trying to quit for 10 years. It is very tough to quit on your own if you've been masturbating to porn for several years. I understand your frustration. I've thought the same thing. I did not want to be a slave of porn and masturbation for my whole life.

    I change only by the grace of God. If God does not liberate me from being a slave of sin, I will still masturbate everyday. My faith has cured me. I know it might be difficult to get that but I hope that you will have faith and believe in the mercy of God. I will pray for you.

    I've been having this idea lately: how about you masturbate for this one last time, then write the exact feelings and sensations you are having (immediately after having done it) on a sheet of paper, xerox the sheet and stick it in all the places where you usually relapse? That way you will get a preemptive warning from your past self. Just write with your own handwriting how shitty, low and hopeless you are feeling right now. Maybe this will help with the internal conflict when the urges return.

    I've been using something similar in my times of deepest struggle years ago (I'm not really an addict per se these days), and it did help somewhat. It's really incredible how humans can keep making the same mistakes over and over again, right?
