I’ve quit nicotine, i’ve quit drugs, i’ve quit scrolling. For some reason this is the one thing i’ve been saying ill quit for years and never have been able to. I go to the gym daily and train martial arts daily as well so the thought that gets me is “your test is too high, you need something to take the edge off/relax.” Although i recognize the thoughts that lead to my relapses, I feed into them and relapse. I don’t understand why this is significantally harder than any other vice i’ve quit.
Hey brother, me and you are so much similar that’s scary to me. I share a love for the gym and MMA is a huge passion for me as well (my favorite sport). I just want to let you know that IT IS THE ABSOLUTE HARDEST ADDICTION TO BREAK OF ALL TIME. You are not alone. I have fought against porn for the past year and a half, relapsing more times than I can count. However, just know I have found the key to all of this ending is found in DISIPLINE NOT MOTIVATION. It doesn’t matter what our emotions force upon us, I speak for myself when I say that a man controlled by his emotions is unstable and inconsistent. However, a man who harness his sexual desires is extremely dangerous, because this addiction is the final boss of all mental strains. Believe in God and believe in yourself and that is all you will ever need to become the man you want to be. The whole world will oppose you, but you will rise millions of miles above what any man could ever do if you believe in Jesus Christ and yourself. That is how you kill Lust.
