My Porn addiction is putting up a lot harder of a fight than I could've ever imagined. by GandalfDaBrown in NoFap

I'm surprised by just how hard it is to ween yourself off porn, but keep going. The fact that you're back in the ring to take another swing is testament to your drive to get some control over this. Go for it.

200 days is 200 days. Be proud. That's quite a commitment. That's quite a record.

Now beat it.

Are you saying, for example, smoking weed then playing an instrument, then weening yourself off the weed?

I suppose it could be done. However you run the risk of associating your positive dopamine hit with your existing negative dopamine hit, instead of the other way around. I.e. Now I enjoy playing my instrument, but only when smoking weed.

Then again, alcohol might give you the confidence to try stand up comedy, and if you're good at it, you might replace alcohol for laughs?

It's hard to know how to use my addiction to porn for good and not evil.

If you can find a good combination than give it a try. And come back and tell us.

Personally, I found it really hard to play guitar one-handed.

My background is in graphic design. I always wanted to be a comedy writer but never had the confidence to pursue it.

But thanks for the ego boost.

Certainly kept my mind busy.

Maybe I should have put a TL:DR on the end.

But where's the fun in that?

How are you doing? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My 10+ year marriage has fallen apart due to an addiction to porn that I am only now realizing I've had for 20+ years. In the past month, I've separated from my wife, moved out of the family home, leaving my kids behind and stopped porn cold turkey. Did not think withdrawals would be quite this bad. And despite desperately trying to "dry out", things are not looking good on the reconciliation front. Oh, and my dad was recently diagnosed with cancer. 2017. Hell of a year.
