Lasted nearly 8 days, 7 days and 18 hours, but I gave into temptation and used it as a coping mechanism because I’ve been stressed due to arguments I’ve had with people close to me. As much as I am disappointed in myself, I will be born anew and continue reaching greater heights.
Porn & masturbation was my coping mechanism for over 40 years. It’s been a struggle to stop that, let me tell you! I have really leaned on this app- the “Talk to Melius” part—I just told the AI therapist that I was stressed out and my coping mechanism has always been PM—now what? Melius and I talked out other healthy alternatives for dopamine releases…even with my physical limitations from long-covid and migraines. Melissa really helped! The PANIC Button really helped me a few times, once hitting me between the eyes with a God revelation from 25 years ago when I quit this PM addiction for a time before. The Chat helps… it helps me to help others, or at least to try. Hopefully I’ve helped with my comments and posts. I’m 55 now. I waited 43 years in this addiction before finally having a Christian lacrosse player I follow post a video with a blunt message of “you’ve got to stop the porn” with an encouragement to use this app, and his discount code (Caleb, if you don’t have a code). I’m finally committed to stopping this. 26 days in now. And I still don’t know how to use fewer words. Sorry. I believe in you! You can do this!
