man its been ruff the last few weeks some times I feel like a pinball machine.sober a few days acting out the next few the Shame the depression feeling like I'm doing great only to bring myself back down trying to convince myself this is the last time. One my biggest problems is emotions as long as I act out I don't have any emotions. When I start sobriety that's always the issue is dealing with all the things that I pressed down for so long and then forgiveness for all the damage that my addiction did to myself and others. I have started over so many times with this. I know that it's bigger than me and that I cann't continue to try and do this alone. I think that's one of the biggest mistakes I keep making is thinking that my will power will be enough for me to push threw my addiction. I just hope that joining this group will give me the tools and support I need to stay sober.
Welcome Peter. I suggest that the best approach is to stop masturbating, edging, using porn or any arousing material. If you wish to have sex, that's up to you. For any terms you are not aware of, check the list in The Glossary (above). Furthermore, look at these videos which articulate the main issues involved (by scientist Gary Wilson). His website is: https://www.yourbrainonporn.com
