I was at 8 days clean and X showed me some sexual stuff and my brain wouldn’t shut up about it for over a day. My girlfriend is on her last line with this before she leaves me, what do I do? How do I do this? I’m scared for how this will affect me and my life and I’m not sure if I have the strength to stop for good
Delete social media, including YouTube. Open up a bible, and read God’s word. For this specific scenario, Galatians 5-6 and 1 John 1:8-9 are good spots. You don’t have the strength, just like the rest of us, so give your weakness to God and work through this with Him. God bless you
Delete any way that you can see that stuff

Social media makes it hard to be successful and you don’t necessarily need the god stuff to be successful unless that’s what you subscribe to. Understand that it is already affect you (your post says “will affect”—it already is). I’m currently reading a book by Gabor Maté, MD that is helping me understand how this affects my brain physiologically. It’s called “In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts”. There is even a workbook to go with it if you are so inspired! It demonstrates just how porn actually changes your brain matter and your body has no option but to also respond differently. You just don’t realize it’s happening. It can change back, but it is hard to do and takes time. It will be worth it. I promise. I’m going through this too. It’s hard and we are all struggling. Armor yourself with knowledge of what the war in your mind is about and it will be easier to overcome. Hang in there.
