What is helping you to stay free?

Hello,

Here is my list:

- reading this site,

- having accountability partner,

- talking to somebody (call, meeting) when there is a temptation to escape to destructive behaviour like porn or masturbation, usually in my case when being angry, rejected or feeling lonely,

- in general, building relationship with other people, for years addictions caused isolation in my life,

- rest,

- enough sleep,

- physical exercises,

- walks,

- discovering new hobbies,

- using computer for study/work mainly,

- going to bed at the same time as spouse,

- redirecting thoughts, like turning off computer and start reading a book,

- prayer to Christ and reading a Bible.


What is helping other people?

 

Thanks.

Site blockers, motivational videos, offering assistance to others - would help for sure.

However, I had very bad experience with yoga in a long term on spiritual and emotional levels (after practising it for a few years in the past). Only at the beginning it seemed to be helpful.

 

What helps me is also getting to know the truth about porn industry, full of drugs, suffering, lots of suicides. From the statistics that Shelley Lubben is talking about (former porn star, her films with facts about reality in porn industry and testimony are on the internet) - average age of living of porn stars is around 36 years. They suffer with many diseases, inlcuding AIDS. They usually hate what they do, in most cases only money is the motivation to play in such films.
