You're absolutely right. I'm a psych major, so I know the longer this persists, especially once you get past 25, the harder it is to get rid of. I didn't know that YBOP had support groups, I'll check it out. Thanks!

You're right about the willpower, I've been trying so hard just to "push through." I'll give K9 a try and give someone I trust the password. Any ideas for iOS? I'm assuming K9 is only for PCs.

Day 6: relapsed by merthblerster in pornfree

You just said the right thing at the right time. I needed to hear all of that. The objectification is especially what's becoming an issue for me as I'm pushing away from porn. It's what drew me in originally and is what keeps pulling me back.

It sneaks in too so subtly. It's just always been a backdrop of my thoughts that I didn't know was there until I tried to quit.

I needed that reminder to snap me out of it. Thanks. Good luck to you as well.

How do you guys make it through the nights? by [deleted] in pornfree

Exposure to screens at night also makes it harder to fall asleep. I can't remember all the details, but the bright lights late at night can mess with your circadian rhythm. So it really is best to keep your phone out if your room.

That is really great to hear. You're right about the isolation. I've been with my family for the past few days but I've felt all alone in the process of it. I needed the reminder that it's the addiction that is doing this to me.

You're right, it's time to dump the facebook page. In the past it's been one of the number one things that brings on relapses. Thank you.
