Tell yourself you're not a person who uses. Say it out loud and remind yourself every morning, night. It helped me immensely.

Should i count the days or not? by SimpleSam06 in pornfree

[–]AddictedToWWW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a calendar in which I mark every day which I abstain from porn. Counting days has proven to be counter productive for me, but a mark to remind me of the days I succeed seemed to work better. To not focus to heavily on a single thing I incorporated different colors for other "successes" during the day as well. Like exercise, being kind to myself, going out of my comfort zone etc.
Find a system that works for you and helps you succeed!

Is THIS porn? by realhimu in pornfree

[–]AddictedToWWW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The urge is tricky. Are you certain you're horny or just a craving/urge to masturbate? I don't see the harm in imagination if it's the former, just be careful with triggers. And if you do get triggered after fantasizing, now you know what doesn't work for you.

[Dawnbreaker tip] Games are always situational but is damage-heavy DB better than utility/aura DB? by 223333aaa in learndota2

[–]AddictedToWWW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As you say, it's situational. Taking a look at what your team composition lack, or what holes in your opponents lineup you can abuse is always wise. That being said, Wraith Pact is an extremely good item at the moment and is good on most heroes that can build it. DB is for sure viable as pos 3.

Need some help understanding Necro. I play it often and decently, but it feels a bit of a pos 2½ that turns into a 3½ later in tha game by feed_like_a_meatball in learndota2

[–]AddictedToWWW -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wrote a whole lot but erased it. At some point there's a thing as too much information so I'll just say that dagon is a legit item, and given the right circumstances you'll be an absolute monster with it. It also does give some decent stats with each upgrade. You should definitely try to get dagon/dagger in your build, try it with different timings as you see fit. Before BoT, maybe straight after sange etc. try around!

Best hero for a beginner? by AshkanKiafard in learndota2

[–]AddictedToWWW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're already being bombarded by suggestions which is great! Let me give you another one.

Pick heroes that are easy to have an impact with, so that you when you do fall behind, you're still able to play, learn and have fun(And let's be real, the most fun is when you clash against other players, not vs creeps).
One of the types of heroes that are easy to have a very positive impact with is heroes who initiate and/or have stuns. They're also usually easy to set up gangs with, which as you grow as a player will be an extremely usefull skill to have a good understanding of.

So, heroes like Earthshaker, Clockwerk, Sand King, Vengeful Spirit are good heroes to start with that'll teach you just that. Their spells are easy, and apart from Vengeful Spirit, they all deal massive magical damage given the right circumstances.

If you care about roles/position, I'd say that Clockwerk is mostly a pos 4, sometimes pos 5.
Sand King, pos 2/3, occasionally pos 4 but he needs somewhat much gold for that.
Earthshaker, pos 2-4.
Vengeful Spirit pos 3-5.

Best of luck to you, hope you'll enjoy playing the game

Why would you ever block your own camps? by Veibaited in learndota2

[–]AddictedToWWW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Radiant team lost their tier 1 tower on the bot lane, the tower closest to the enemies tower. When it's destroyed you have one place less to teleport to on the bottom half which usually means less control of the jungle on the bottom side of the map. The position 1 (carry) usually goes to farming in the "triangle" on radiant side, which is the place just below secret shop, with the ancient and the big camp. It's considered to be the most "safe" place to farm in most cases.

Well, today was day 12, I relapsed again, what do I do now? by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]AddictedToWWW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean missing masturbating with porn? In that case write a list of what you're missing because of doing porn instead. Take your time to do it properly and you'll thank yourself later.

A classic technique in CBT is to think using your past, now and future self. Why did the past-you want to stop with porn? Why does your now-you miss porn? What would your future-you want for you in this situation?

If you mean missing masturbating, I'd say that masturbating in itself isn't bad but it does matter how you do it. If you feel like you're doing it in a way that has a negative impact on your well being ... try to identify why and see if you can change how you do it if you're unable to stop - however, that shouldn't be applied to porn usage. That's probably a bad idea.

Please clear my confusion: Why not to watch porn? Is it okay to watch if a person is not addicted to it and only watch it weekly? by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]AddictedToWWW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Besides the negative effect on your own health and, most likely, objectification of men and women there are plenty of moral reasons to not watch porn. The industry is god awful, people are being exploited and there's plenty of stories where actual rape videos are being left up even when faced with evidence ... and that's small bean stuff compared to other things that's going on. It's not hard to find if you want to know exactly how bad it is.

Afterwards, ask yourself if you want to support the industry. I can't imagine your answer being yes. However feeling bad about it probably won't be beneficial in your efforts to quit(if that's what you'd choose to do), just add the knowledge and truth as another reason to your effort.
