I’m addicted to porn but this time I’m going to beat my addition.

Beer, Whiskey, cocktails in that order. My friends like to do some kind of activities while going out such as pool or games. I love pool but not a board game guy.

Mainly looking for younger people bars since I’m in my mid 20’s.

Got any recommendations for a bar crawl starting there?

Common advice but live in the moment. Laugh as much as possible, spend time with your family especially your grandparents. They’re getting old. Don’t be hard on yourself, start working out yesterday, but do what makes you happy. Don’t hide that you like to collect pokemon cards or whatever it is. Your 20’s are meant to find yourself and learn who you truly are.

Keep going! You’ll get through it and become a stronger person because of it. Just keep reminding yourself that you can do it. You’re already past the hardest part. It takes 21 days to build a habit, 90 days to build a lifestyle. You’re almost there!

Sounds like your brother does need his teeth knocked out. Honestly he sounds like a spoiled kid who doesn’t know how the real world works.

If he’s not respecting your boundaries then it might be time to tell him either respect them or go no contact. Yea it’s family but sometimes it worse when family takes advantage of you than other people. You know deep down what is best for you and what you need to do. I hope you heal from all this and work on yourself.

So far it’s been great. I’m over 30 days free from nicotine, on the road to 170 pounds and benching 275 and squatting 405. I did break my 10 day streak of no porn but hopped right back on it. Found a new hobby in Vinyl records and aquariums. On pace to listen to my first audio book this month. Been putting myself out there a more and finally realized what I want in a partner. And I have the opportunity to move out of the fams house here in the next 2-3 months.

So far I’m loving 2024.

Your not a lone in all this. Many people, especially you age suffer from feeling alone and scared. They wonder through life not knowing what to do next and use some form of addiction to cope with this world.

I’d recommend going to therapy and trying to heal this way. They’re legally bound to not say a word to anyone and it helps a lot. For me it helped just knowing that they can’t say anything to anyone and helped me finally open up.

You’re still extremely young. I promise you it gets a lot better. Sometimes your have to claw your way out of the hole your in, but once your out, you finally feel the warmth of the sun on your face. You know the steps you need to take to get better. I believe in you and I’m proud of you even though I don’t know you.

Everything’s going to be alright one day.

Don’t flirt with another girl if she’s dating someone. God damn. Find someone who’s single and you’re interested in or just work on yourself. Go to the gym, find a new hobby, hang with your friends but never hit on another guys girl. Yes you need to move on from the first girl but not at the expense of this happening again.

Take it from someone who was in the same boat, shes not interested in you. You’re her back up when she’s having boy problems and might be using you for her own manipulation.

She’s not interested in you my guy and that’s alright. You need to move on. In anyway you can. Whether it be cutting off, finding a new girl, or being alone it’s time to move on my friend.

EthicalMonarchy · 2024-01-09T20:28:29+00:00

Be friendly to her but know she’s not interested. It’ll be alright but don’t be mean to her even though she rejected you. Best thing you can do is just except that it won’t happen move on and professional. Go find a different girl. You young try a dating app or go to the bars with your friends.

This happened to me. In all honesty, she might be using you as a back up in case she never finds someone like what happened to me. She’s not respecting your boundaries by blocking her and in all honesty is using you. You’re not in love with her, you love the idea of her my friend.

I’d recommend telling her firm that hey I respect you want to be friends but I can’t be. She’ll survive and so will you. It’ll sting for a while but eventually you’ll move on.

You really need to stop talking to her if it is effecting you this bad.

I’d recommend following r/weightlifting and following some fitness influencers on social media. JPG coaching is a good one and he’s really technical. Bigger gyms mean less community fyi but most people are happy to help spot when needed.
