Day 32

I’m 32 days off—and that means 32 days without even a hint of an urge. Before that, I was seriously struggling; I’d relapse just a few days or a week after managing to stay strong. This isn’t normal, nor is it natural. We weren’t made to like porn or get off on it. I probably should’ve shared this with you guys earlier, but my mind was somewhere else—I kinda thought that porn wasn’t even a thing anymore. So here’s my guide to jailbreak your head from porn addiction (or porn enjoyment), told from my own experience: /!\ DISCLAIMER: This guide is based on my personal journey and isn’t meant to encourage anyone to relapse. This method involves a deliberate, conscious relapse and should only be used as a last resort if you can’t handle the tougher approach. Step 1: When I feel an extreme urge—and trust me, you know where that’s headed—I don’t let it take over. I anticipate the moment and purposely choose the content that would hit me the hardest if I slipped up. Step 2: If I manage to anticipate early enough, I watch the chosen footage without fully diving into the act. I try to catch the excitement, feel that dopamine rush, and then I flip my phone, look at my ceiling, or just close my eyes and ask myself: • What if I don’t actually like this? • What if looking at this isn’t really arousing me? • What if it’s just some disgusting image on a screen that I convinced myself I liked, but deep down it’s not even my thing? • What if I’m the one creating all this pleasure, and this image isn’t really doing shit? Step 3: I flip the phone back and take another look. I see that this disgusting image really doesn’t mean shit to me. I ask those same questions again, dig for my answers, and then delete everything related to it—because I realize I was just hyping myself up for nothing. Conclusion: In this physical world, everything can just be an illusion our brain cooks up. Sometimes we trust what our brain tells us without even questioning it. The way porn messes with our brains is a lot like how we hype up food we don’t even like or alcohol we don’t really enjoy—we convince ourselves it’s not that bad, or even good, and then we consume it like we love it. That’s how most of us got hooked on porn, in my opinion. But if you ask yourself the right questions, you’ll always remember what truly matters. Keep it real, stay aware, and don’t let that shit control you. Btw English is not my 1st language so I used chat gpt to help me rewrite this
