Turn your old habit into new strength and motivation.

I have been porn-free for 40 days now. There is days where the urge is greater than ever and I feel like I can’t do it a second more, I think we have all been there, and there is days where it feels like I can really do this for eternity. My life has improved already on so many different levels. Not only have I improved my relationship to the love of my life, which I was about to lose to my porn addiction, but also did I learn many new ways on how to cope with stress and treat anxiety in MANY healthier ways than to masturbate to porn. Additionally, I can say that the thought of being a person that CAN get addicted more easily than others will always stay addicted, is true - at least for me. Turn your addiction into a healthy one. For me I have discovered running again, Me vs. Me. Make something greater out of the energy you have wasted before for porn, challenge yourself, grow, and, most importantly, strive for something that’s longterm. Let’s be honest, masturbation, however long it takes, gives you some useless short seconds, even though they might feel good, of immediate dopamine rush. Everytime you seem to be about to fail, think of where it’s gonna get you. SECONDS of meaningless relief, instead think bigger and do something for yourself, your mentality and quietly let your own self and people you love see the man you really are.
