Why does it feel like I can’t stop

Day 1

I’ve had days where I can freely go without it and not have one thought pop into my head but as soon as one says after a few days of being porn free I can’t seem to get it out of my head I feel like I’m trapped. Idk what to do anymore, I do so good and then I do it once and I can’t stop then I go three days or so and I do it again. I want to stop but deep down there’s something telling me I can’t. I’ve been doing this cycle for 12 years now I don’t know what life looks without it. I fucking hate it but idk how to stop myself the desire becomes so strong I can’t help it. Is there anything I can do to help myself?

Thank you for your guys reply’s. It makes a lot of sense as to why I would use to it cope with my emotions because. My goal is to now make it seven days and to build more of a relationship with Christ. I will start to pray more often and work on myself

This is one of your root addictions. It means quitting will have overwhelmingly positive effects. I would think that if the addiction is this bad that it is probably the reason for a lot of negative things in your life as you are using it to cope with many different emotions so there is a lot riding on your ability to do it. Without it you lose the cope. I would think to fix this you just need to make it to day 7 then you will feel momentum. It will be on you at that point to hold on to that and roll with that momentum to the end. Remind yourself of the positive effects of quitting.

One bro truthfully I tell you dont force it on yourself .. you saying you read the word and listen to worship music ( now don’t get me wrong that’s good ) but you have to want to have a relationship with him through the good and bad . And watch you thrive through my brother , rooting for you just don’t give up 👏🏾

I’m also struggling with the feeling of becoming distant with God I try to read the word and listen to it at work. I even listen to worship music today which I have never done on my own. Idk I just feel so lost trying to battle this addiction but it feels as if there’s no end to it for me. I’ve never had a relationship and honestly I feel no desire to have one which scares me but I can’t beat this demon of lust that’s in me.
