Porn addiction help thread

maybe i should use some tags?? i'm not sure if they're needed though.

Yeah, just logging in over here for my porn addiction recovery journey. Hope it goes better than my last attempt at New Year's resolutions.

This is pretty cool, I think! You guys did such an amazing job putting everything together; it's exactly what I hoped to find. Thanks to everyone for being here-it means a lot. I feel like things are going well right now, and knowing you all are around really helps keep that postive energy going.

Aw, thanks a bunch! I'm totally stoked we can build this little community together. Here's to better days ahead for everyone!

Thank you for your post.

I would highly recommend the EasyPeasy Method. It is free, accessible online, and does not requie much time. It is an excellent resource that avoids scare tactics. This method has been instrumental in addressing issues related to pornography, and I strongly suggest anyone facing such challenges should consider checking it out.

Thanks a lot! I think I'll look into it since I haven't heard of it before. Thanks again!

i just wanted to say thanks maybe that's it i guess

i just wanted to say thanks, i guess

struggling hard irl but im like one day sober rn feels good tho i always slip up

Hey everyone! Just wanna remind you that we're all in this together. It can feel tough sometimes, but let's not forget we've got eahc other. Take it easy on yourself, okaay? We'll get through this one day at a time.

Also, I'm keeping anothher thread for tracking our progress more formally if anyone wants to join in. It's called "porn addiction recovery (log in)" over at 7 Cups. Tere are some guidelines to follow there too, so make sure to check it out carefully before you jup in!

Oh man, this is kind of a personal thing, but hey, what the heck. So, for me, you know how some things get way worse when you're alone? That's totally my situation with porn. It's like, if there's no one around to keep me busy or distracted, it just gets really intense. And honestly, it got super messed up because whenever I'm trying to study in my room, nobody comes in to help create a quiet space for me. So instead of focusing on my books, I end up turning to porn, which obvously didn't do anything good for my grades-let's be real, it tanked them big time.

The other thing is that the urge hits super hard right before I shower or freshen up. It's like, when you have all that privacy and no one can see you, well, yeah-I take full advantage of it every single day. And to thhink about it, this has been going on for almost five years now, which is really crazy to consider.But today was different. I managed to resist the urge completely, and honestly? It feels pretty darn good to accomplish that.

so yea recognizing ur patterns rly m8. then figure out how 2 shift them. delete useless apps, go study in cafes, clock ur shoewr time, do cold ones if u can. each fail shows u wher ur weak spots r lol.

yeah, totally get what you're saying. i mean, it's about time i stopped hiding in my little bubble and just went out there to live life to the fullest. anyway, thanks a lot for bringing that up-it means a ton!

Hey there, I haven't checked in for a while. How have you all been doing recently?

Easypeasy way? Stop suddenly or slow down?

Hey there, I'm kinda wondering if anyone's relying purely on willpower or if they've got a solid plan going on? Honestly, I tried this easy-peasy method someone mentioned earlier, but I also read up on some books and followed their advice, you know? So far, it's been all out-no gradual stuff. Fingers crossed! anyway, how are things going for everyone else?

I spent the last two hours alone, and the urge was incredibly strong. However, I managed to get through it by waiting. While I ended up watching YouTbe and playing Roblox the entire time, which isn't ideal, I am glad that I didn't act on the impulse. One step at a time, I suppose.

Nice one, keeping it going on YouTube is the way to go rather than breaking that streak, you know? So anyway, what kiind of games are you into over on Roblox?

Well, for me, I'm totally the stereotype, haha-love playing DTI and Silly Simon too, honestly.

I think that's realy funny too, maybe you agree?

I was wondering how everyone is faring. What strategies have been helpful for you? What challenges have you faced recently?

It's been a bit of a struggle, but I'm hanging in there-how about you?
