Stop now
Man, I’m almost 11 days in, and honestly, I’m proud of that. But this journey isn’t easy, especially if you started young. It really messes with your head: your view of women, your dopamine system, your motivation, just everything. Yesterday and today, my brain was screaming “relapse,” even while I was at my desk working. I wasn’t lying around doing nothing, I was trying to stay productive. But I caught myself taking out my phone, scrolling, looking for an escort. I told myself, “I’m not going to relapse with porn, I just want some real human connection.” I ended up going through with it, and everything went smoothly on the surface. But afterward, I just felt disappointed in myself. Quitting porn these past days has made me realize something: I’ve been trying to escape the habit by replacing it with other forms of distraction. It’s not just about stopping one behavior, it’s about facing what’s underneath.
