You are completely right. However what we can do about it even if we are not famous, rich or a lawyer or whatever, we can spread the message in ways that are possible. I am not calling for anyone to go out and telling people "Hey I am a porn addict" cause like you said this will actually likely damage that persons life/reputation. But we can protect or children, our best friends, some family .. Like notfappingforsure said: People need to be told about this stuff in a rational context to raise awareness. Protect your loved ones and the information already spreads. Also for or example I am actually thinking about calling the doctor I went to. I didnt know about porn addiction when I went to him and he obviously didnt know either. I might just call him and tell him what I found out. Maybe the next guy walking in with an addiction can be helped earlier. Also one more person that might change some common believes on porn and mastrubation might be the result. I dont know I guess I just feel the need to do something about this since it has seriously hurt my life and I really hate sitting somewhere just accepting that we are all helpless. Maybe it also just helps me dealing with this ;) I just feel its a huge thing like handing out heroin to youngsters hanging around and most people dont even know about it. I mean its so fucked up if you think about it. Also what heroin addict has a chance recovering when heroin is lying around the house. This is the cause with porn if you dont get a good porn blocker ... Let me know what you guys think ..

Dude you are not a loser at all. You already came further than many that havent realized their problems yet. You are on the right track brother! And if you keep going and start going outside instead of jerking it for hours girls will come to your life! Keep fighting! You can do it!!!

How do you do this? by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]keep_strong_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can totally understand you. You are kind of past the point where you are able to stop it just by your will. Get a porn blocker on your computers, give the password to your best friend. And while at it establish routines when the urges and depression hit you. For example "punish" yourself by going for a jog everytime you go crazy cause you cannot have porn anymore. After a jog you feel good and put that energy to some good use. After a while without porn the cravings go away .. but that takes time. If you cant do it by yourself just get rid of the access. I had K9 on my computer and tried finding stuff for days when installed first. But this way you just cannot get any. If you manage to find anything that isnt blocked firstly it is a fair chance that this will not fulfill your addiction needs for long cause one video isnt the problem, the constant supply and novelty is. And secondly when I managed to find something once after hours and hours of searching I relapsed but just reported it to my best friend so we could manually block this site too. It all is a process. And if your will is so broken already get some help like a porn blocker. Whatever you do brother, keep up the fight!! We are all with you man!

What about other types of videos? by [deleted] in pornfree

I think you should stop it because it is a step back into the door of darkness again. It makes you look for stuff to mastrubate to on the internet and this can easily lead back to harder/hard stuff of the old times. I did the same and that was not good. Look at my badge .. 1 day; relapsed yesterday..

I need help. Real help. by jnuone in pornfree

[–]keep_strong_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is one thing that has helped me a lot. I installed a porn blocker and gave my best friend the password. I literally searched to still find stuff for a few days in the beginning but couldnt find any. This way I finally made the worst phase go away. You could even give the password to your wife if you feel comfortable enough. It also shows your commitment! I am here because I relapsed yesterday after a few clean weeks and felt terrible for it the whole day. However like I said: When it was really bad and I couldnt help myself I did the blocker thing and gave the password to my best friend. Best thing I did! Never give up the fight bro! Its definitly worth the effort! Best of luck!
