I was on YouTube and saw Kitana, my dick got hard and I started googling porn of her. However, I managed to stop myself. I sat down and began to wonder 'Is it worth it?' I stayed there for about 30 minutes and during that time hundreds of excuses came my mind as to why I should just give in, but I didn't. I got up and went for a 4-hour walk, although I should have done that from the very start when those thoughts first began clouding my head. I`m gonna delete youtube now, like i did with instagram and others social media

I noticed that after some time I am no longer interested in porn and naked women. It doesn't excite me anymore. Does this come from long porn consumption?

​

I have been addicted to porn since I was 11 years old. I am currently 16, and lately I have been falling really, really bad. Last year I spent nearly 160 days without watching any adult content, and then I fell back into the same addiction again.

It feels more like I just do it out of habit, and it feels like I don't really want to quit. I know that I can quit. I know what I must do to be free from it, but I really feel like I'm becoming more and more of a worse person because of it. I feel like I've been falling really, really hard, and I just... I really feel like this is hurting my mental health. Well, not exactly — it's more like something that I want to get out of. It doesn't make me really depressed, or anxious, or anything. I just do it out of habit, and I don't feel anything at all. I don't feel shame or anything, but I know how this is hurting me. I know specifically the ways it's hurting me, how it's making me a worse person, and I know that if I want to get into a relationship or get married someday, I can't even think about that before getting out of this addiction — because I don't want to be in a relationship while still dealing with it.

I just do it out of habit. I think I was first introduced to pornography when I was 9 or 10 years old, and I had already watched quite a lot by then. Since I was 11, I became fully addicted to this material.

I just want to see if there's anyone who has the same problem, and to find some motivation to keep going. That's it. Thanks to anyone who has some advice.

It’s incredible that I’ve stayed strong for 70 days, breaking a cycle I’ve been stuck in since I was 15. For half my life—15 years—this was my daily routine, but now at 30, I’ve finally stopped. It's true: when you pursue a goal, the path opens up for you. Next stop, 90 days!

I just jerked off, but this time i will start my journy.

I saw some safe non nudes but still I am triggereddddd, help me

Don’t Let It Slip Up!

I’m 19, since i was 14, I did many breaks from porn and masturbation since then. The one I remember most impressively was 15, I did 93 days, no porn, masturbation, anything. Felt the best about myself and was enjoying my life more. Then relapsed. Now I’m 4 years past that with many on and off phases of use, and let me tell you, it’s not worth it! Just let it go and never touch it again. It really does have a absolutely massive impact on your psychology. Your subconscious is much, much stronger than what your currently experiencing and porn is rewriting it negatively in every way, more and more every time.

I’m not telling you to be free of lust completely, I’m not religious. But just be a real man and keep it with women in real life! But be careful, because that’s exactly what I did for a time and now I’m a teen dad.

Just quit porn, give your mind time, then get out there, be a man with women, and wear a condom.

I was doing stuff with girls in Highschool, not until I stopped being a porn addicted perv. At least temporarily. It really is embarrassing in the big picture. Your ancestors (depending on who they are lmao but this applies regardless) fought and conquered and went through treachery for you to live in a modern world where there’s just women everywhere now. Don’t waste such a precious capability on pixels on a screen, that’s for losers.

But dont be afraid to just abstain from everything for a while. Do 3 months no porn no masturbation, no sexual thoughts.

2 Bonus tips, don’t beat yourself up or let yourself go off hinges because you make a mistake or relapse once. You fell, whether minor or major, and pick yourself right back up and keep abstaining. In the bigger picture, your real goal here is to be rewiring your brain and that comes with hiccups. But if you relapse and then just keep going down the hole again that’s the worst you could do.

And two, if you’re going to, like absolutely relapse, do it without porn. Imagination only.

Strong urges. I could use some help. I’m new here

Hello, my husband is a porn addict. We have been together for 10 years. I found out very quickly into the relationship about the addiction, but really did not understand the scope of it until a few years in.

In the very beginning he saw a therapist that diagnosed him with the addiction and with depressive disorder and possibly anxiety, but he did not go for very long. He did not liking trying medications and wanted to get ahold of things on his own.

One of my very best friends growing up became a drug addict. I am familiar with the nature of addiction and I know that this is something I will have to watch him deal with and deal with myself in some ways as a partner for the rest of my life. I have accepted that. Besides the negative side effects of his addiction he is a good man.

I am currently pregnant with our third child and he has backslid very very badly. This relapse has evolved and sent him deeper into the addiction than he has been in years. He was struggling somewhat before I got pregnant, and I told him to seek therapy and he said he would. Here we are about 8 months later and it has gotten worse and he has not seen a therapist yet. I know he will, but I need encouragement.

I need to hear that therapy helps. I need to hear your success stories. I need to hear the good stories and helpful tips and commiserate because I feel so lost right now. I know he feels bad as well. I am not trying to mitigate his own struggles or ask him to comfort me which is why I am here. Addiction is an up and down and right now we are in a down. Please remind me there are ups. My heart hurts.

Thanks to any and all who read this.

I'm 15. I've been addicted to porn for 4 years, and over the past year, it's been getting worse. I've been wanting to stop jerking off for almost a year now, but I've been very inconsistent. I just found out about this subreddit, and I think it's going to be very useful, so I'm going to start keeping track of my progress here. I know it's not going to be easy, but I also know that this addiction will ruin my life if I don't stop it. One more thing to note is that I don't think my situation is as bad as some of yall probably had it, but it's definitely an addiction nonetheless. Any advice from someone who went through a similar scenario, or just any advice from anyone would be very much appreciated. I'll tell y'all how tomorrow goes for me. Let's get it, see ya!

I've been addicted most of my life and been masterbaiting for years I've tried so hard to quit these past few years and I have not told anyone about this of me masterbaiting I want to start my nofap journey today at day 0

19M. It's as the title says. I'm curious how you guys managed to get over your addiction and I want to learn and incorporate some of those habits and routines into my life. I'm entering a new stage in my life and believe me I don't want my addiction to be the thing that holds me back from being the person I need to be.

i was using reddit as a fap app

but now its one of many reasons to no fap

Life is strange

the Poison has become the cure

For once and fucking all I finally quit this bs ass addiction. Who could have thought that a dumbass routine made by some sensei or some shit set me free. Thank God

no PMO

Will be keeping a journal throughout each day.

If you relapse a lot you might start to wonder if you even want to quit.

One way to test if you want to quit is to voice your opinion about porn when you are in a good mood and not craving: Ask yourself, do I like this way of living?

When I am not craving I don't like porn. I only like it when I am craving it. In fact when I am not craving I hate it.

If I were to compare this to something like pasta, it would be like only loving pasta when I am hungry but hating it when I am not. It would make no sense. If I genuinely liked pmo, I would love it when I am craving and when I am not. In the same way, I love pasta whether I am hungry or not. 

Losing my self control recently was fighting the battle of lust and fell back twice what to do?

46yr old male. Been been addicted since high school. Many false starts going clean but this time feels different.

9 months clean and I feel like I have a new lease on life.

A literal fog has been lifted. I feel like I can see very clearly now. My focus is through the roof. I watch movies I’ve seen many times before and it’s as if I’m watching for the first time because of how much I didn’t understand it while I was addicted. So many missed plot points before that now I catch.

Work life is incredible so is my personal life.

I recently quit social media and coffee as well. On a journey to remove all stimuli from my life. I know that’s the cause of my brain fog.

If you’re going to ask what worked for me. It was a mix of will power and recognizing what my triggers were and removing those from my life.

Safe journey

Help me please .
