I’m struggling with urges and relapsing constantly
I just joined this subreddit today, and I seriously want to stop this destructive habit before I get any older and i’m filled with even more regrets, guilt, and shame.
I’ve researched all the effects that porn can have on someone, specifically males (i’m a guy) and i’ve watched and read countless nofap videos, religious “how-to’s”, and even became hyper religious for a short period. But all that did was had me carry more guilt and shame when I relapsed.
I’m going to therapy, and I want to get on meds again to help with some of my mental health issues.
I’ve hurt women in the past because of my sexual behavior, and I want to make sure I never repeat past actions again.
I just would like to ask everyone for any advice on my journey, specifically how to handle urges better, whether or not buying porn blockers is worth it, how to better utilize therapy instead of a weekly venting session, and regaining your empathy towards those you’ve hurt.
