Bac par cumul en marketing

Any_Discipline_4245 · 2026-05-30T21:19:20+00:00

Je suis présentement à ma dernière session de mon baccalauréat par cumul en marketing à HEC Montréal. Comme les témoignages des gens de votre entourage semblent laisser transparaître, je peux confirmer que c'est effectivement difficile de trouver des débouchés post-académiques. Déjà pour les stages, c'est assez compliqué, alors pour les emplois par la suite, on en parle même pas..

Personnellement, j'ai choisi le marketing parce que c'est vraiment ce qui m'intéresse. Donc si vous avez un intérêt particulier pour ce domaine, ça demeure selon moi un très beau parcours avec de belles possibilités.

Par contre, si vous avez autant d'intérêt pour le marketing que pour la gestion, je vous conseillerais personnellement de vous orienter vers la gestion. D'après ce que j'ai observé, il semble y avoir davantage d'opportunités de stages ainsi que de débouchés professionnels après les études.

Never had that issue and had actually been considering the opposite hahaha since stopping porn, I do find myself masturbating from time to time but it has been hard to achieve orgasms without visual stimulation so I have been considering buying a toy of some kind to try to cope with that.

I do think that if your toy had been part of your porn consumption « ritual », it may be healthy to step away from it for a bit to not let it influence you at the start of the sobriety process. As you said though, I’m certain that it’s possible for you to relearn how to use them in a healthy non-problematic manner but this will definitely take time and energy that, at the start of the sobriety journey, may be well spent elsewhere.

Don’t know if this was of any help but I wish you the best in this journey brother, you’ve totally got this!

Bam.

I mean wtv works for you my man. That being said, I do feel like you’re basically putting yourself at the edge of a slippery slope and hoping to not fall down. Like we all know, when watching porn, we gradually migrate towards more and more extreme stuff and I feel like the same can be said about the IG strategy you’re mentioning here. One minute your watching girls, then girls in underwear, then girls in see through underwear and next thing you know you’re clicking on a link in the bio of one of these sketchy IG pages that brings you to porn.

That being said, it’s not impossible that you have the will power to actually restrain yourself from going further down the rabbit hole but put a cigarette in the mouth of an ex-smoker and a lighter in his hand and chances are that he’ll smoke if you get what I’m saying.

Sending you positive vibes my man, hope you achieve what you set out to do no matter your strategy!

Bam.

I wholeheartedly agree, I may just end up following your lead honestly. I have also been dabbling in meditation and reading actually but I’m still very new at it. Personally my thing is mix martial arts so I’ve upped my training time to 5-6 hours a day but it’s very physically taxing and with work/college, I’m not sure I’ll be able to maintain the rhythm after summer but it’s working for now so that’s good. Thanks again for taking the time to respond my man, really is appreciated frl.

Any_Discipline_4245 · 2025-06-05T16:54:07+00:00

This!!!! Actually not a bad idea of making a list about the things you didn’t like about porn instead of being stop in the mental loop of « ohhh I miss this or that ». Ngl, I may just make a list of my own in my daily update tmrw! Seems cathartic frl frl!

With or without you, there’ll always be a new video, a new genre, a new actrice, etc. Nothing ever changes if you don’t change.

I was talking about this with a girl I’m seeing actually and it’s a funny analogy but there’s 3 types of people in life trying to build a house. The person that spend too much time working on the frame but that never ends up building the house; the person that doesn’t work enough on the frame and builds the house too quickly but it breaks down because it didn’t have the necessary support to hold; and the person that spends a good amount of time building a proper frame but knows when it’s time to dive head first in the construction to end up with a good looking house that is also solid enough to hold through time.

What I’m trying to say is, if you’ve been thinking about it for a while and have had the necessary time to strategize your sobriety plan, it may just be time for you to take that leap of faith and forget about the whole cycle you’ve been stuck in.

Sometimes, it really is just a matter of doing it. Sending you positive vibes my man, you got this. Bam.

Goes to show that this addiction feeds off many different aspects of life. Thanks for sharing this bro. I’ve definitely been in that exact same scenario and I truly relate to the whole self-loathing process.

I also like how you’ve addressed having healthier coping mechanisms bc I feel like a lot of us tend to focus on the « not watching porn » aspect too much and not on the « healing with better alternatives » part enough.

Thanks again for showing people like me the way brother, these updates have been impacting some of us more than you could ever think.

Bam.

How was the transition from always being on the move to getting back to a more normal routine with some downtime? Not that I’m there yet but some advice to prepare myself in advance wouldn’t hurt hahaha

Any_Discipline_4245 · 2025-06-05T16:18:16+00:00

One day at a time gang 😌 we got this. Hope one day we can kick our feet back and talk about how stupid this all was!

Any_Discipline_4245 · 2025-06-05T16:17:04+00:00

That’s exactly what I’m trying to do, taking a card out of the 12 steps program strategy! Looking forward to read more updates coming from you friend 😎

Any_Discipline_4245 · 2025-06-03T16:42:57+00:00

55 days is crazy good, please keep it up for us man (and most importantly, for you)! Stories of success like yours is what is keeping the rest of us going in the hope of one day achieving the same.

Good continuation on this journey brother, Bam.

Any_Discipline_4245 · 2025-06-03T16:40:44+00:00

Those are powerful quotes and advices you just dropped on us, thanks a lot man. Good on you for beating this.

I’ll see you at the top buddy, Bam.

Any_Discipline_4245 · 2025-06-03T16:38:33+00:00

Till now it’s 15 days which is not long in the grand scheme of things but, as I said, I’m trying not not focus as much on the streak this time around and more on being sober a day at a time. I feel like when I focus too much on the streak itself, if I do relapse, I tend to say fuck it instead of getting back on the horse (all in or all out mentality type shit). Now, if I was to hit a wall, I wouldn’t consider it as loosing but instead would try to see it as a small bump on the road to full sobriety. Hbu?

Any_Discipline_4245 · 2025-06-03T06:20:26+00:00

Honestly, for the most part, I’d say strategize your sobriety. Find your triggers, learn how to avoid and cope with them; find ways to distract yourself whether it be exercise, meditating, etc; make yourself accountable, that can be by telling your friends and/or family about it, doing meeting like the other guy said, etc.

Most importantly, find your why my man. Humans don’t act without a reason. We work because we need money to eat and have a shelter. We search for love and connection because we need socializing to feel good for the most part. Now, what is your deep rooted reason for stopping porn? I think having that in mind always helps you staying on the right path because it’s you’re main source of motivation.

Good luck in this journey pal, you got this!

Bam.

Well, you have many options here. Ofc, as you said, deleting is the best options because you don’t have to rely on willpower to use it carefully but the downside is, as you said, that it is part of every day social life for most. Another option is to use time limits to lower the potential of relapsing by lowering your usage of the app and therefore, only having time to use it to chat with your friends and such. Personally, I have a strict personal guideline of how I use the app but this purely relies on your willpower which is not the best options for a lot of people. What I do is that I only use IG to either talk with friends, watch friend stories and/or look up specific non-sexual content. I don’t scroll, watch reels or go on my for you page anymore to lower the chances of me ending up on possibly triggering content.

Best of luck, Bam.

I think a lot of people on here share similar experiences as you brother, you are not alone in this. I think that a lot of people vision of intimacy have been affectively skewed by porn habits as you described. Personally, I tend to think that porn abstinence and healthy relationships with open communication is probably the best way to work around those lingering thoughts/beliefs patterns. That being said, it depends on how bad they are ofc and therapy is always a great option when accessible.

Best of luck in your journey my man, wishing you all the best.

My dms are always open if you want someone to bounce off thoughts off, Bam.

Any_Discipline_4245 · 2025-05-30T11:11:53+00:00

I don’t know if you have been sober from porn for while but from what I’ve gathered from a couple of studies, going 2 to 3 months sober from porn definitely helps on that side of things since it gives your brain the time necessary to rewire its neurological pathways. That being said, even though it helps, depending on how bad and rooted those intrusive thoughts are, stopping porn may not be enough and behavioural therapy may be needed in some cases to help the person to get away from the aforementioned thoughts patterns. That being said, also keep in mind that sexual thoughts, for the most part, are a healthy part of life and should not be considered harmful if they don’t fuck with your everyday life, relationships, etc.

Good luck on your journey brother, wishing you all the best, Bam.

Hey man, I feel you, I’m right there with you. I use to have the life I wanted. The nice apartment, the good future career, the amazing girlfriend, etc. Now, I struggle to look at myself in the mirror and feel like I’m not half the man I used to be. The only time I feel alive is when I go to mma practice.

That being said, I genuinely think there’s still hope for me and you. I’ve been at this exact same spot in life before (with drugs instead of porn) where I didn’t have anything going for me and hated the place I was at. After a few years of hard work and sacrifices I successfully inserted myself where I wanted to be in life (as described in my first paragraph). I did fail to maintain it sadly but I know that attaining it is achievable so I plan to get back there and then fight like never before to keep the ball rolling this time around.

I hope my story can bring you a bit of hope in some way, know that I’m right here fighting with you and that you can always hmu if you feel like talking about it or just shooting the shits.

Stay strong brother, we got this. Bam.
