It’s like I am attempting to communicate with a different fucking species. I send offers, message them the second they are listed (notifications), message again.
I have been trying to buy the Xbox series S for a week now.
I AM OFFERING THEM THEIR ASKING PRICE
I’m aware this tip isn’t enough to fully overcome an addiction but it helps.
Sometimes “Horniness” is just bladder pressure, the same pelvic nerves are responsible for arousal and urination.
So the next time you have an urge, go for a pee and I found for myself a lot of the time the urge would settle.
I suddenly have this weird feeling. Today was the first day where I didn’t even have an urge to use it.
At first, this felt like a good step however I started thinking it felt more meaningful the times I did have a craving and still didn’t relapse. Just a weird thought idk.
The main problem: finding out who I am without it, i suddenly have so much time and energy yet I spent so much of my life using it to indulge in this addiction, suddenly I don’t know what I’m meant to do.
I am attempting to just fill it in with stuff that is “productive” such as study/projects or curating a post for LinkedIn however I haven’t really “locked in”,
Weirdly (for now) I do not care that I am not “locked in” I just care that I have broken free of this addiction, the longer I go without it the less ingrained those neural pathways will be. So win win
First of all: As someone who *USED* to be against therapy, I cannot stress enough how important it is to reach out; especially if you feel your addiction stemmed from any abuse when you were younger.
I’m sure everyone can relate to the vicious cycle of promising yourself you will never relapse, I experienced this too I found therapy to be a full and final admittance to myself that I had a problem.
After approximately 7 months of going; I am happy to say I ended it myself as I feel I’m ready to close this chapter of my life: this addiction doesn’t govern me anymore and I’m ready to leave porn behind entirely.
The purpose of this post: I have so much knowledge that I gained from therapy that I am very happy to share with anyone that is struggling so if you need someone to talk to please reach out I will try my best to get back to you . and I hope you guys can reach out to a therapist to start your journey too.
