Five years
It’s been about five years since I have started this journey and within those days I felt like I couldn’t climb out of the whole that felt so deep cold and lonely. Looking back I’m amazed at the disgusting videos I had to watched to get aroused. Now I can go weeks without having to watch anything, but I still relapse. What I learned is erasing all kinds of things that would arouse me unfollow all models on IG erase twitter and Reddit put on parenting mode for the web. And most importantly is try to read my bible sleep next to it. Till this day I’m still fighting but Iknow I can’t alone which is why I need people like my self to help me out and especially run towards the Lord for he is my shepherd. My flesh is weak but the spirit is willing.
Amen Brother. I would say I‘m in the same situation as you, I believe that is app might be the tool that makes it possible to quit forever. What helped me for my longest streak of porn abstinence is to create a whole new identity of myself. To see myself as the strong, disciplined, confident and god fearing man that just doesn’t need any videos like that. To almost feel a little disgusted by the fact that men actually do that and to feel some kind of anger towards the porn companies that try to keep you hooked. I‘d also suggest to make a seeable change like a new haircut or changing something in your room/apartment that always reminds you of the new chapter of your life. Well like I said unfortunately Is till relapsed on a stressful day after weeks and it put me down again but until that situation it really helped me. I wish you much power on your journey, may god guide you out of this!
