I cannot even imagine my life without porn.

I am on my day 7 rn, and before writing this I got this urge to watch it. It wasn't anything like heavy but only because of boredom my mind was king of telling me to do the only pleasurable thing I know about.

This got me thinking about how much deeply this addiction is embedded in me. Like in the times of boredom or after a stressful day when I want to enjoy or just chill, my definition of relaxing is so much altered that I know nothing outside of porn.

I've been dealing with this for like past 8 years, but never have I ever truly imagined what life would look like without it. 7 days is a lot for a person like me and every single day feels new, as if I am discovering something about me, it is not like bad days are completely gone but my tolerance to deal with them is exponentially increasing. I might not accept it but after contemplating I realised how much deep in my subconscious this habit is framed. It is like after a certain while, I started to accept that loop of watching porn and then later regretting it and then making a decision to never watch it only to relapse a few days later.

Uncertainty was the main factor behind all this because the only constant and familiar thing happening was porn and this loop of decision breaking. But I got be ready for life, to experience it, to live it because now I finally understand this rabbit hole, just because the hell is familiar does not mean I have to burn in it for eternity.

Inaction and peeking are the biggest triggers for me

Today after my relapse, I think I finally found the reason why for most of the times I relapse, although it took me like years to finally contemplate today and understand these issues, my main goal from now will be to work on them.

Inaction- this is basically the pre and post relapse problem, I get urges because I am not doing anything so I peek and eventually relapse, and it does not mean to be actively do something 24/7 but to avoid social media for when I feel the boredom kicking in. Just do something which makes you move towards your goal or career or anything you want to achieve.

Peeking- for me it can be of all type, from my imagination to just going to the site to see if I am still addicted or not to any dumb reason. If I can control the initial thought about my fantasies I get, the loop won't even start.

If you are reading this can you tell me your ways to avoid the peek you take for them dumb reasons?

Question on qadr of allah

For the past few days I am in this dilemma, if everything is happening according to the will of allah, then how can I give my 100% there will always be a possibility of something bad happening or something good which depends only on the qadr of allah.

I have noticed that when I try to put things on to the will of allah they usually end up worse on the contrary when I take full responsibility, it happens without any problem and eventually things get solved.

You watch porn because you believe there is something of value in it.

Think of it in this way, I give you some food and tell you there is poison in it and after two or three bites you will die. Would you even want to sit near that food? Absolutely not.

And that is quite the same with porn, deep down you do believe that porn actually provide something meaningful to you, something of value that you reach out to it again and again. And it could be anything maybe you "believe" that it relieves your stress or comfort or a place of belonging or a sense of comfort, it could be anything.

You need to genuinely believe that it provides nothing for you, majority of your problems stem from it and it "acts" as a solution to those very problem that it created in the first place, and to do that just understand and do as I say.

Whenever you get an urge, pause for a moment and say to yourself that, you are horny and you need sex.

And do not let the chain of thought start before it becomes a loop, because the loop is something your mind creates to go back in to the comfort zone.

Let the urge, the discomfort pass, it always does and pay no attention to it and put your mind in manual mode instead of automatic where thought comes to you but this time instead you create them thoughts for yourself. It does not need your attention, it does not need to prioritised to the point where you believe porn provides any value to you because, "you are horny because you need sex" (see how I did not even mentioned porn in this statement)

Other important points to take in to consideration-

  1. find something which you can focus on, it could be anything, maybe the project you have been avoiding or the exam you need to prepare for, anything.

"If you want to meet the devil, sit idle for a moment"

  1. DO NOT PEEK IN WAY (I cannot stress this enough but do not peek and yes even creating scenarios in your head also counts because they make you remind of porn)

How do I deal with regrets?

for the past few years I was addicted and now that I am trying to quit, this sudden wave of regret of wasting time and all that potential is killing me from inside. I wouldn't say porn was the sole cause for my inaction and inability to utilise the time and resources and understand the seriousness of the situation but I do firmly believe that, it did impaired me from reality to the point where doing anything which takes effort, to be impossible.

I am unable to focus on my work, my future feels uncertain and my regrets are through the roof. I see people of my age living their life to the fullest while I am still stuck on the past.

I am not a good muslim, I only remember allah only when I need something, so in spiritual terms I don't think I want advice and it would be really good if you talked to me not as a muslim but as in general.

It's been a week since the last time I watched porn and I know it is not a huge number but for a person like me it is.
