Ive been using porn for years as an excuse to help with my PTSD, and stressful days as a fireman. But it’s been destroying my spirit, the way I view women, and my relationships with friends and family. I’m so done with porn and am finally on a good path. I’m determined to get over this. I’m praying for you all to be successful in this fight as well!! 🙏❤️

Awesome decision, Max! I’ve used porn to help with my PTSD for years as well, but I’m finding better coping skills that leave stronger positive results. This app provides two great ones… the Panic Button is a great immediate intervention if I’m ready to go run one out to take the edge off the stress or head off a panic attack If I can catch the anxiety building, the Talk to Melius is phenomenal! It is a real AI therapy tool that gives good answers, by my estimation (and I’ve been around or in therapy weekly for over ten years now). I’ve used it to talk through many things… military PTSD, MST…I don’t think I’ve gotten to working on family or my own FF/EMS/LE-SAR PTSD, but I know Melius can deal with these things just fine…and help work out healthier ways to cope that porn…because I put it to the test when I was stressing over something last week. Melius! I’m stressing over xxxxx! I would have watched born and masturbated as a coping mechanism before, but I’m not doing that anymore—what can I do right now? Melissa told me stuff my body wouldn’t let me do. My body is in too much pain for that, what else can I do? Another list…finally do something that makes you feel good about yourself. Depression has kept me from showing out changing clothes for over a week, so I did that, and felt better about myself…and got a dopamine push. And anxiety dropped. And I stayed away from porn, and masturbation. And I got healthier, …

Will build self confidence, get rid of constant guilt, and increase your day to day contact with girls you won’t have a overwhelming shadow of guilt above you that you didn’t even know was there
