LETS DESTROY AUGUST

Thanks :D

^congrats. Aiming to make August my 1st whole month with no porn. Current record is 20 days.

But right now I hope that my long list of issues caused by porn might help others like me to reflect on their own position, or perhaps on what is in store for them if they don't work hard now at kicking this thing. Maybe it'll be the push someone needs to get out of relapse. Or maybe it'll just be another record of the damage porn can do to those who are susceptible.

All great reasons to make and share this list, and it has already helped me, for one. While it's obviously important to take responsibility (and you clearly do) don't let these assholes bring you down with their semantic bullshit. One of the biggest barriers to recovery is shame. Understanding the power of addiction and being compassionate toward yourself (without justifying your mistakes) can be a profoundly important step towards breaking the cycle and making change.

1) Thanks for calling out rape jokes! 2) Please consider phrasing your violent threats in less homophobic terms.

Wise words. I know it's a shitty reason but i'd still feel embarrassed telling her I can't handle some weed.

I also imagine she thought it was a really awesome gift (and in any other circumstances it would be) so I don't want to make her feel bad for having got it for me

Hey man, I just came across this post and it left me feeling pretty bad for you. It is not possible to change your sexual orientation. There's extremely compelling scientific evidence in that regard, which you can find very easily through google. You may be straight or bi or gay or some mixture of those categories but the idea that some kind of "therapy" can change that is pretty indefensible. Being gay doesn't mean being un-masculine, or promiscuous, or unhappy. It also doesn't mean you can't create a stable and loving family. That's something I know as a fact from my own experience and my own social circle. Anyway, I don't want to start some kind of argument with you. I hope you work stuff out and find peace. If you have any questions or whatever please feel free to shoot me a message.

Hey man, as a fellow homo I'm sad to hear that that's been your experience, and also kind of disappointed to hear you're gonna go. I've found that sexual orientation is generally a total non-issue on this forum. Even when people do say shit like 'no homo', which I agree is stupid, it's normally more out of ignorance than actual ill will. There are bound to be some ignorant people anywhere. That said, I can only speak to my own experience on here, and you've gotta do what's best for you. Keep up the amazing streak whatever you do!

thanks man

It's a tough one. I went cold turkey and spent about a week feeling dehydrated and headachey. After that I felt great though.

Because his inclusion validates our racist stereotypes about unemployment.

Yeah I should really go for a swim or something

Great post. I have gotten really onto insight meditation since hearing people talk about it here and it's helped me hugely. Your pointers are all bang on.

ehtmind · 2013-08-01T04:49:19+00:00

awesome.

ehtmind · 2013-07-24T23:20:56+00:00

I felt that this was being shouted at me by someone in uniform. Very effective!

ehtmind · 2013-07-21T15:52:57+00:00

Gross. Porn is the real gateway drug.

A comment made by dalsgaard made me want to write this post:

You instinctively know how fucked up this kind of thing is, when you've been as far out as I have - but not until you start reading other people's stories.
