quitting advice
idk how reluctant you would be to trust what i have to say with my 5 day streak but there is something i want to put into the world to maybe help some guys who never even speak on here. the guys who are constantly feeling the same things everyone on here does but don’t express it or talk about so the problem never gets fixed. my streak is only 5 days bc i got this app 5 days ago. i haven’t had a single urge or temptation or itch like i see some of the others describing. idk if its bc i have some magical iron will or maybe i was never addicted in the first place, at least not to the same degree. but what i can offer as advice is how i see porn or masturbation or over sexualization. i don’t put it on a pedestal. i don’t think of it as something i have to quit. i think of it as the route i normally take to work. and one day i decide to take another route. i familiarize myself with this route until it becomes my normal. maybe absentmindedness will return me to the original way but i don’t constantly think of that road or have withdrawal while driving down the new one. i just see it as something so small. and thats what i feel will help you guys is to take the power away from it. view it as something so insignificant that it doesn’t feel like quitting. thanks for coming to my ted talk.
