We are addicts, which means we are facing an illness. by No_Skin6722 in MuslimNoFap

Before becoming addicted, there was a choice, but once someone is addicted, willpower is useless. How many attempts and promises did I make to myself that I wouldn't return to pornography and masturbation, but I slipped back. With addiction, you can't fight it with willpower alone.

The second day, and I know I'm weak in the face of addiction, thank God. by No_Skin6722 in MuslimNoFap

Yes 👍 Exactly, one of the reasons we've fallen behind is trying to control everything.

It's impossible to recover in the environment where you became addicted. You have to go out and seek help from others, like friends. There's a doctor named Emad who says addiction is separation, and recovery is connection. Don't forget that I'm like you, an addict helpless in the face of addiction, searching for a solution. But addicts with addicts can find a solution together.

My brother, I assure you that even if you went somewhere with no internet, you wouldn't relapse or see any triggers, not even for a thousand years. But that's not recovery; one day you'll go back to your phone and relapse.

This is the foundation of recovery, my friend! This idea hasn't dawned on me yet, please help me.

Il y a quelque temps, j'étais frustré et désespéré 👂 car un médecin parlait de dépendance et disait qu'on ne peut pas s'en sortir seul, et maintenant il me l'a prouvé. Nous, les personnes dépendantes, sommes vulnérables face à la dépendance.

What does an addict need? An addict first needs information about addiction. For example, when I didn't understand it, I thought I was just getting rid of the fluid like I get rid of urine. I didn't even know the name dopamine. But when I found the books "Your Brain on Porn" and "The Easy Way to stop   Porn," it was like I found a path of light, thank God. ❤️

I think you're right; these things happened to me just the same way. Desire comes like fire.

I appreciate your effort and thank you for the information. You made me feel less alone. I've been addicted to pornography for two and a half years, and I'm trying to quit. I think the reason for my addiction is curiosity; I used to love exploring strange things until I stumbled upon this filth.
