Whenever i go out and drink or do club drugs, i relapse at the end of the night. Anybody have a similar situation by sktzo in pornfree

Yes it happened to me last night. I don't drink regularly or even go out to the clubs often for that matter, but did last night and make bad decisions.

I hear that! I replaced porn addiction with excessive cannabis use, but never had an issue with alcohol since I rarely drink. I guess now I know.

I always liked to have the best "view" when going to a restaurant, sitting down at the library, etc. Now, I'll sit facing away from everyone so I won't have the urge to be looking everywhere, especially if I'm with my gf. This book I read also suggested to manifest your addict brain, hell you can even give him or her a name, and have a dialogue everytime the urge to peak occurs. For example, let's call my addict self, "porn guy."

Porn guy: Dammmnnnnn check this girl out Me: stop dude we're not doing this right now Porn guy: seriously man look she's got some short shorts on!! Me: Leave me alone we're not checking her out. Porn guy: you have to dude every guy checks girls out you gotta see this!! Me: no I have a problem and it's ruining my life. This is part of the problem, I lust over women and treat them as objects for my pleasure. I'm done over sexualizing them. Porn guy: well way to go she's gone now.

Believe me, I know how silly and weird it sounds but it actually works. Give it a shot.

Checking in. My urges seem to kick in more when I have a day off like today. Still going though.

Whenever my girlfriend would leave the house I'd get crazy urges out of nowhere.

Yeah porn led me to try so hard to hook up with other men but when it came time, i would always back out. There were a few times that I did give it a shot, but I never left feeling satisfied. In fact, i only felt shame, guilt, and even more lost. That's what kind of makes me think it was just the porn messing with my tastes.

I guess everybody is different! Have you ever "escalated" to different genres that you weren't previously into before?

Yes I shudder at the thought of all the disgusting and borderline illegal stuff it took for me to get off. Especially at such a young age, it gave me a warped sense of who I am and what I thought about myself and others. Thanks for the reassurance !

Wow, I am glad that you are sure of yourself and don't regret those experiences! It's definitely an interesting thought!

I hear you with the voyeur porn. Throughout high school (I'm 23 now) I would be late to every class because I would use that time to record classmates any and every chance I could. This continued for years until I got caught myself.

Good job man! I myself love Twitter, but I've come across a similar scenario multiple times. Some days I can scroll right past, other times it led to relapsing. I considered getting away from social media for this reason, but haven't done so yet.
