Hey, the past few years have been rough for me when it comes to porn. I feel like everything I try collapses. I have a therapist. I have blockers. I have accountability. I’m physically active at least 2 hours a day. During the week I have school for seven hours. I pray. I read scripture every night. I meditate. But yet I still fail. What is something that completely changed you. Something totally different from what everyone else says. Because quite frankly, I’m tired of people telling me that I need to do things that I already do frequently.
Hey dude, I am 22, I first dipped my toes in explicit content at 8, addicted to pornography and masturbation at 13. Since I have started my journey to quitting I have had 2 major commendable streaks, funnily enough, both of them were doable for me because I had met a girl I fancied. And because of that, I feel as though I spent more time and energy trying to turn that girl into my girlfriend. While I am not telling you to go ahead and chase girls (or guys), but if you do, do it in a non-lustful way. What I am trying to portray is that you should find something (or someone) that you like enough where you can be happy to put time and energy into, because not only will you turn a bad habit (porn/masturbation) into a good habit (insert new found hobby here). I do hope my story had a positive outcome for you, big ups to sharing your story and I am wishing the best for your journey man!
