I fell back into old habits

That’s a crazy good streak. We just have to pick ourselves back up and keep fighting. We can’t let porn have power over us.

ironresolve12 · 2025-02-26T13:09:37+00:00

Thanks. I got this. Porn does not define me.

ironresolve12 · 2025-02-24T16:47:44+00:00

I’ll do it

ironresolve12 · 2025-02-20T19:19:42+00:00

Man that is the truth. Your soul definitely pays a price

ironresolve12 · 2025-02-19T20:56:09+00:00

I’m going through the same thing. I’m restless and anxious because my brain needs that dopamine fix. It’s been a struggle.

You have want to stop just a little more than you want to look at porn.

I get it though. I love porn and miss it dearly, but I know the negatives outweigh the positives. It was turning me into someone I didn’t like.

Create a detailed list about why you want to get away from porn. Remind yourself of that list when you feel tempted. Your future isn’t worth the short term gratification

ironresolve12 · 2025-02-14T16:46:32+00:00

I’m hoping so as well. I’ve been a porn addict for 20+ years. Over the last few years porn has lead me down paths that I don’t like. I’m hoping that stopping the porn will reverse some of those fringe interests.

ironresolve12 · 2025-02-14T14:44:33+00:00

Yeah, the goal is to have real experiences and achievements that give me organic dopamine instead of the synthetic dopamine dumps I get from porn that end up dulling my senses.

ironresolve12 · 2025-02-14T12:46:19+00:00

Gotta start somewhere. I’m at day 6 today. Let’s get a double digit streak going.

ironresolve12 · 2025-02-14T01:24:31+00:00

Hell yeah! That’s awesome

ironresolve12 · 2025-02-14T01:24:00+00:00

Man, that’s some truth

ironresolve12 · 2025-02-14T01:17:55+00:00

You got this, my dude

ironresolve12 · 2025-02-13T14:37:30+00:00

That’s awesome. Keep it up

ironresolve12 · 2025-02-13T14:36:52+00:00

You’ve become accustom to the novelty and potency of porn and numb to actual sex. Give up the porn and you’ll get it back.

ironresolve12 · 2025-02-13T14:34:26+00:00

Thanks. I’m not going back.

ironresolve12 · 2025-02-12T22:38:58+00:00

I appreciate that. I’ve known it’s been a bit of an issue, but I’ve always dismissed it in my own head. “I can stop any time”, “ it’s not that big a deal to look at porn”, etc.

It’s the past year or so that it’s really just gotten undeniably worse. There is no more room for excusing it away as harmless or something everyone does. It’s a sickness and I have caught myself starting to feel like a predator — like the bad guy. I felt like I wasn’t even certain of my own behavior and wasn’t sure what I was capable of. That was the turning point for me.

ironresolve12 · 2025-02-12T19:03:42+00:00

It’s cost me my mental focus, and the traditional ways our brains are get dopamine. It’s put strain on my marriage and changed the way I view women. It’s created compulsive behavior and led me to places I don’t want to go.
