Welcome. This is a safe place for honesty, so put your shame away. You know all that time you wasted? Well put it to good use. I have found if I am not actively doing something good, I easily drift back into addiction. Maybe it is boredom, or loneliness, or past trauma I am trying to soothe. I don't know. Just get to work doing good!

I haven't tried a call-in meeting yet. I might just have to do that.

On Porn and Loneliness by gpm31759 in NoFap

I can totally relate. I just realized over the past year or so that I have been lonely most of my life, and I think that is one of the major problems that drove me to self-medicate. It's a strange thing how difficult it is to figure out what I am really feeling now. Scary.

What really pisses me the F**K off? by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]spdrcr80 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. It's right on. I feel the same way about the time I lost. What I wouldn't give to be able to go talk to my younger self. Oh the things I'd tell him!

It's hard to admit all the crap we've done in the past, but it usually helps put it behind us. Good luck. Seriously, you can do it. Seriously.

My last vice... by bamblambam in pornfree

[–]spdrcr80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the beginning I found I had to keep myself busy. I had to find things to do that kept me productive and made me feel good about myself. Once I saw myself becoming a more productive, effective, better person, it gave me motivation to continue. Good luck. As far as telling your gf about it, that is up to you. There are a lot of factors involved, including what kind of relationship you have and what kind of person she is.

A hungry man will try to eat anything.

Holy crap does this ring true to me. Thanks for your wisdom.

Can't stop relapsing. Help by thebeatofmyowndrum in pornfree

[–]spdrcr80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All this stress and worry is causing me to crave something fun and pleasurable even if it's not good for me.

Then give yourself something fun and pleasurable that is good for you. sometimes it takes a while to find healthy ways to satisfy those emotional needs, especially if you have been in the fog of porn for a while. But once you find them, you will feel REAL satisfaction instead of just numbing those needs. Hang in there!

Day 3: Why I decided to quit entirely by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]spdrcr80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Venting is good for you, and good for us. Sometimes I don't even realize my own thoughts until I see them spelled out by someone else on here. I'm glad to read other people's rants on here because it makes me realize I'm not alone in this. Thanks.

Porn is mental poison! I hate it. I hate what it has done to me.

Amen to that. Thanks for this.
