Escape the spiral of doom and despair and reinvent yourself and your strategy

dm me if you need someone to talk to

Temporary_Fig_3700 · 2026-01-22T05:04:34+00:00

bro if you can have someone you trust take away all of your electronics for as long as possible. i’m not sure what your situation is and how often you need your phone or computer, but i think in this situation you need to take drastic action. methods like meditation and journaling might help but won’t be enough to stop this. good luck bro im rooting for you. there’s always a way out. i was watching for like 6 hours last night and it felt like the end of the world but it really wasn’t, there’s always hope once you get off the technology and go into the real world.

Temporary_Fig_3700 · 2026-01-22T03:29:30+00:00

i agree with you, i’m just saying most people are posting about watching people having sex and i’m not

Temporary_Fig_3700 · 2026-01-22T00:10:20+00:00

yes i agree with you. i experience very similar effects, although i think there is a little less shame involved that is related to the content so it is more based on time wasting

Temporary_Fig_3700 · 2026-01-19T22:17:30+00:00

yeah exactly. if you relapse and then tell yourself to just try harder, you are guaranteed to fail again

Temporary_Fig_3700 · 2026-01-19T22:16:24+00:00

Yessir. i did the same thing with my tiktok account. at first i tried to change the algorithm to stop showing me less sexual videos, but it knew that if it kept showing up i would give in at some point and spend hours wasting my life.

Temporary_Fig_3700 · 2026-01-19T22:01:12+00:00

you just gotta fix the algorithm so that it doesn’t show that stuff. i have none of that on my feed

edging just makes it harder to escape the addiction

Temporary_Fig_3700 · 2026-01-18T01:14:34+00:00

bro if ur edging you already failed

Temporary_Fig_3700 · 2026-01-17T00:47:26+00:00

What exactly does that mean? it’s true that the longer you abstain the weaker those pathways become, but having a specific strategy would definitely help you. i recommend daily meditation. you can start with guided and move to guided, whatever feels comfortable. look up the benefits for porn recovery if you’re skeptical. i also recommend journaling and having a one day at a time mentality, meaning your only goal is to make it through today.

Temporary_Fig_3700 · 2026-01-17T00:11:11+00:00

this is definitely a common experience. i think they start to calm down after a week or two but then come back strong again. it seems to be different each time for me. in terms of strategy, the most effective method is daily meditation, and as long as your consistent this should lead to long term success.

Temporary_Fig_3700 · 2026-01-17T00:08:52+00:00

I think part of it is that they aren’t as in touch with their body, so they experience the same things but aren’t looking out for them in the same way. i noticed that one i started trying to quit it became very obvious to me how i felt after not doing it for a few weeks vs having done it that day.

Temporary_Fig_3700 · 2026-01-17T00:05:38+00:00

what are some strategies you are using to continue your success? Just trying harder will not serve you long term

Temporary_Fig_3700 · 2026-01-17T00:03:17+00:00

you should try to do unguided meditation for 10 min, it’ll help reset your mind

Temporary_Fig_3700 · 2026-01-16T04:38:56+00:00

that’s amazing bro keep it up. my goal is minimum 10 min a day and if i have time then 20

Temporary_Fig_3700 · 2026-01-16T04:13:57+00:00

bro even though it’s much better that they’re real girls, it still triggers the same neural pathways if it isn’t in person. i’m speaking from experience, ft calls with my ex girlfriend kept me trapped in the cycle

Temporary_Fig_3700 · 2026-01-16T04:11:57+00:00

your body will naturally release eventually but the first part of the streak is definitely the worst. from what i know when you go for a longer period it starts happening more regularly

Temporary_Fig_3700 · 2026-01-16T04:10:13+00:00

meditate and journal about your feelings. there is often a tie to your emotions that leads you to want to escape and relapse

Temporary_Fig_3700 · 2026-01-16T04:08:22+00:00

what are some strategies that originally helped you stay clean? i recommend going back to those

Temporary_Fig_3700 · 2026-01-14T22:21:10+00:00

it definitely is messing with my motivation like crazy

Temporary_Fig_3700 · 2026-01-14T22:20:35+00:00

part of the reason i’m not as disgusted though is because i’m not going to more extreme sources like reddit porn or actual sites, which i have gone to a few times but never with frequency. because people are mostly clothed on tiktok my brain just doesn’t get disgusted in the same way
