Why you should quit

Hello, I’ve been clean for around 103 days and let me say this was a journey. A good one, before I started I was heavily addicted to pornography and I would do it constantly everyday, I was an outcast, had a very small friend group, and not once did I look at a girl without having a sinful image in my head, I thought I was ugly and hated every second of my existence. I started this journey many years ago and it was a very strong addiction and one that is very challenging to beat and even then here I am, 103 days clean. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t even have any urges anymore or desires. I’ve never felt better and I am truly my self. I’ve made friends all over the place, met the love of my life, and haven’t thought about pornography in 3 months. How I beat this addiction: I’ve tried numerous methods and the one I think works the best is to simply spend some money of app blockers, websites blockers, or apps specifically designed to block porn. I used a website and app blocker and blocked every single app I could think of, Reddit, AI porn apps, everything, I then blocked the website equivalents on those apps, if you have an Apple device you can set up a website and app blocker through content restrictions, When I first got my phone my mother did a screen time passcode and made a passcode that I had no way of remembering. I would then have her type in the passcode so I could enable content restrictions and just like that 90% of porn websites were blocked for completely free. I got so desperate for porn at one point I when searching for hours for a website and I never found one so I’d say it works. My advice: To put it simply this addiction has the same continuity as a herion addiction, so it is very important to understand beating this addiction is not going to happen over night so don’t hate yourself for relapsing, I relapsed at day 67 but instead of hating my self I reflected and noticed I went from doing it everyday to doing every 2 months. I also recommend staying out of my the “Temp zone”, my temp zone was my bed in my bedroom and that’s where 99% of all of my relapsed happened, I also recommend the moment you get an urge or have a slight though about watching porn get up and go do something, leave your phone, power off your phone, do what ever you need to do just take a break from your device. Another tip would be to find an accountability partner, someone who will message you and ask if you made it, set up reminders, etc. as I stated before, I started this journey 2 years ago so it will take time but it is so worth it, when I started I told me self I’m never beating this addiction but I want you to know it is so possible and I believe in you and I wish you in your journey -👋
