It’s hard to fight against your urges

Day 2

Often at times I find myself looking at porn on Google just because I feel stressed out over certain situations I find myself in. I don’t know if this is normal but each time I go to bed trying to process these situations, I always search up porn. This is stemmed from visiting newsagents where they would sell porn magazines. I’ve been using QUITTR for a month after my counselor recommended me the app, and I’ve been viewing porn once a week, and I’ve gone without porn for approximately 7 days. But the thing is, when it gets to say 8, I end up relapsing and having reset my streak multiple times because it’s really hard to control these urges and desires that would help you fight them. You can’t beat an addiction all in one go, it takes time to heal and let the process take its time that will help you get through these challenges. Does anyone relate to this post? I would love to hear from you.

I play guitar and I guess that helps me to combat those urges.

Yeah, it does build that feeling to create that desire to view porn. I’ve had this issue for years, it has been a routine for me almost every day solely because I have autism and the routine aspect tends to sink in quite often.

I think for me it’s built into my brain as being apart of my routine daily to watch porn and it’s so weird to try and stop that randomly
