This app change my life

Day 72

I used to be addicted to porn. Spent almost 5 years doing that shit. Year after year watching more and more sexualised content. It would become a necessity in my daily life to feel some sort of excitement. My relationship with my parents was absent. Talking with them felt like a chore even though they put so much effort into raising me. I would feel so insignificant in this world. Scared to lock eyes with people on the streets. Always thinking about what others would think of me. Pushing away any chance of a relationship with my polluted mind. Bare words would turn me on thinking I was gonna get it. Life felt like an endless journey with no end. Always monotone with no real excitement. At first I didn’t do much about it, I didn’t see anything wrong with it. As the months and years go by and I slowly started to realise that this was getting in the way of life. The child that I was with his brilliant mind was now thinking about what kind of porn I was going to watch when I get home. I knew this had to end. I would try over and over again to stop but nothing really worked. I would see relationships drift away with my friends and my goals disappearing. And I would still do it even though I would feel more angry/disapponted with myself with each passing day. Once I made it to 1.5months before falling back into it. I thought that doing it once would be fine but I was so wrong. Check comments for continuation

So what am I trying to say from this long ramble. Don’t give up. I know it may seem bloody impossible but I’ve been there. I know how you feel. Maybe I might not have the same problems as you but I know that doing this will only make you happy in the short term. 5 mins later and you will be depressed again. It will be hard but know that if you want your life to be better you need to face it head on. Don’t try to hide from the problems, deal with them. And slowly but surely you will gain happiness form greater things in life and you will no longer have to touch yourself. One thing I like to imagine is my future family. I imagine somewhere out there is my wife who will bare my kids. And one day I will meet her. Idk when or where. I just know I will meet her. I constantly remind myself is what I’m doing rn going to get me in the relationship of my dreams? Will my actions help my family? Will my kids be proud of me? Always remember, your future family needs you. So brothers and sisters, don’t give up now. You’ve got this. I’m rooting for you

While doom scrolling one day I found this app. And little did I know it would change my life. At first I would lose streaks but after I just kept going. It was hard. Very hard but I kept going knowing my future needed me to move on. I used to be broke and having to spend money on this app was the greatest gift of all time. Everytime I lost the streak, I would remind myself of the money I have lost. The money I could have spent buying food or my mom a gift. Getting a replacement for my broken chair. That weight was the final push I needed to get to where I am now. And I know this is just the beginning. This is a journey and I will never be fully out of it. The urges do come and they will continue to come but I have learnt to control them and redirect that energy into others areas of my life. My life has improved so much because of this change and it will continue so much more as the days go by. My relationship with my mom has gotten so much better. I enjoy being with my friends again. I have random fun convos with strangers that just make the day feel so much more special. Started to earn my own money and go to the gym more often. Life has never been the same ever since
