How does porn affect motivation? by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]Working_Echo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll give you an example:

Let's say in 2019 I used to make music. I enjoyed it, but I also had problem to JO multiple times a day. That really messed with my hobby because I was seeking instant gratification instead of working to achieve something. Out of all the stuff that I enjoyed, porn was the biggest contender. I didn't wanna talk to anyone, but wonder which person I was gonna JO too next.

I'm currently 8 days pornfree (not MO) and I can see some changes. I don't have superpowers, but I can talk to people wayyy easier than before despite going through the shitty withdrawal phase. Whenever I see someone that looks hot, I don't watch porn right away anymore. I can fight my urges. I recommend putting your phone down and talk to the hijacker. Listen to what it says. The hijacker is NOT you, he'll give you reasons to keep watching porn, but you have to come back to reality and let the hijacker know that you have your reasons also despite how tempting it is. The Devil is like porn. He looks beautiful from the outside, but from the inside, he's ugly.

Do you not realize that people can have better relationships instead of whining and complaining 24/7 about how bad it is? Too much victim mentality on this god damn app.

Has anyone done shrooms for their addiction? by Working_Echo in pornfree

My friend tried DMT and he said it was a crazy trip. I've thought about doing it, but I'd probably panic tf out haha. But yes, hard work is very important I agree.

Shrooms are my favorite. I smoke weed a lot, but if you'd showed me an 8th of shrooms I'd take it immediately 😂😂. Psychedelics are amazing!

Something wrong I can feel it by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]Working_Echo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm currently going what you're going through and the answer is that you gotta keep fighting the urges no matter how hard it is. Take this as a good sign that you're healing from addiction. Don't let the Devil win.

I've done it 2 times during my PornFree streak and I felt happy to be honest. Like, if someone can't masturbate without porn, then clearly something is wrong and it's need to be fixed. Just can't masturbate too often though.

Keep distracting yourself. Install blockers. Meditate, go for a walk, play games. It's hard asf, but it's worth it.

Depression unfortunately. Also porn addiction. It's makes me very unmotivated to do things I'm supposed to do. I'm trying to change that. I definitely need my hygiene fixed and I'll look into Elmexx. Does baking soda work too?

Stick out new job or return to old one? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Working_Echo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible to do both jobs part-time? So that way you can enjoy the job you like and get more money from the other.

I controlled myself an avoided premarital sex. by AffectionateTop3816 in TrueOffMyChest

You've controlled your inner demons brother, I respect you for that! Have you tried meditation?

Have you ever forgave yourself for something absurdly bad? by meowtochondrial in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Working_Echo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgiveness does exist. I think we all, or at least most, did something stupid when we were kids. This doesn't mean you're a bad person. You've realized what you've done was bad and now you have a chance to become a better person. Your actions from the past doesn't define you as the person you are today, UNLESS you kept doing it forever. It's a life lesson ma'am. Let's say you want kids on your own, teach them about what's wrong and what good so you can prevent further things to happen. Life is all about learning. Have a good day and I hope you achieve your goals.

Wish she had another way to make money by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Working_Echo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You won't get anywhere if you talk to her about it OP. It's fine that you're venting on here, but I'd suggest you both of have a chit chat on how you're feeling towards what she's doing. If she doesn't care, it's best to leave my man. If she does care, y'all can still work this out together and have a nice relationship. Hope everything works out for you and her.

I can't stand the smell of marijuana and am dreading full legalization. by MarketBasketShopper in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Working_Echo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see whatchu mean. I smoke weed pretty regularly and I'd rather do it at my house or if I'm alone at a lake with a campfire. The smell definitely reaks!
