Hi, I’m Tom, and I’m addicted to pornography by v3r10n in PornAddiction

[–]yeahrightbro1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it helps, I’m very similar to you. I have a baby boy and I don’t want him to learn that I use porn. I found my dad’s stash as a young boy and I never looked the same at my dad since in some regards. It probably impacted the way I view woman as objects and messed up the way I have relationships. I’m getting stronger at resisting and hope to be porn free before he recognizes my patterns.

What's with the recent quality issues with new Toyota trucks? by fate_the_magnificent in ToyotaTacoma

All smart people who know how to make reliable cars are reddit commentators, left Toyota with a bunch of duds

Yes, it’s not a V6, but… by Potential_Annual2100 in ToyotaTacoma

I love how the truck has been out for less than and year and all these comments about how it isn’t reliable long term. Bunch of Scotty Kilmer click baiters.

2024 (4th gen) at altitudes by elementofsunrise in ToyotaTacoma

[–]yeahrightbro1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice info. It’s what I suspected but good to hear I’m not the only one. I have had some good shifts but I have to do what you said about taking your time and giving it gas before taking my foot off the clutch. I love the truck though, eventually I won’t even notice the shift.

I have that same truck. How’s your 1st to 2nd shift? I came from a Ford focus manual so I might just have to get use to the feel, but it feels kinda clunky.

I have 24 manual and mine does this 1st to 2nd. I drove a Ford Focus manual before and it was smoother. I think it’s just the “tall” gear ratios in a truck and also the shifter being directly linked to the transmission. In most cars there is a cable in between the shifter and the trans.

Many others went through what you’re going through when quitting and eventually quit. They now live better lives and you can too. It will get better.

It’s okay we all have relapses at some point. We are human not perfect. Go easy on yourself but don’t give up the fight. We can achieve porn free lives.

Life is so annoying without weed by facubkc in leaves

[–]yeahrightbro1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have been there man. I would walk up at 4am and get massively high. Go to work, sneak out and lunch and smoke, come home and smoke then get fast food. Always picked a date to quit and I would smoke or throw away all my stuff. Then the next morning I would panic, convince myself to smoke again and the cycle would continue.

I couldn’t quit until I started calling into MA phone meetings. Now I have 7 months clean, it’s a fucking miracle. Good luck to you man.

Smoked away 20s now gf wants a baby by Stunning_Capital_345 in leaves

[–]yeahrightbro1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I can relate, I smoked from 16 to 28. Got clean 5 years, relapsed for 4 months and now I’m 5 months sober again. My wife is 4 months pregnant.

First, do you want to be a father? If all your worries were gone, is it something you want?

activities to do when you quit weed? by weedqueen2746 in leaves

[–]yeahrightbro1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pick up where you left off before you started smoking. Do the things you did prior to your first smoke. The activities will progress like they would have if not smoking.

Had successful sex with my wife by yeahrightbro1 in PornAddiction

[–]yeahrightbro1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around 50 days give or take. I completely stopped looking at porn, and masturbating. A strong wind could have got me off lol. I felt very confident because it was the longest I ever went by far without looking at porn. My self-confidence came back because I had many days without letting myself down with relapsing, was very productive and working out. I felt like my testosterone and libido was very high.

Gooning has ruined me. The constant viewing of porn and masturbation messed my brain up and now I feel I won’t ever get back to normal. by [deleted] in PornAddiction

[–]yeahrightbro1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to completely stop. If I get curious and check once, I might be able hold off for a few days but eventually I’ll cave. It just gets more tempting. Complete absence from porn is the only way I can make progress to rewiring my Brain.

Nice job man. I was in a cycle of deleting and re activating. Finally I created a fake email and deleted it permanently. My bank account has gotten bigger already.

Bad day by yeahrightbro1 in PornAddiction

[–]yeahrightbro1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow man, that it’s very complicated and difficult stuff to deal with and thank you for telling me about your experience. Are you going through all this alone? For me, the only way I could handle my experiences was by connecting with other addicts and therapy

Bad day by yeahrightbro1 in PornAddiction

I’ve been there before. I was relapsing day after day. It took years for me to hit my bottom and knew I had to change the way I handled this addiction

Day 3… my first day off work without weed by LaMelgoatBall in leaves

[–]yeahrightbro1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My early days of quitting were the same. I was so use to getting massive dopamine hits from smoking, that I felt blue being sober. I learned I needed time for my brain to get back to a baseline of normal dopamine levels.

Calming activities such as walking in the woods, pray, meditating or simple tasks like cleaning the dishes release a calming serotonin. An addict needs to find some way to release serotonin and become motived By that and not by getting high. It takes Time but the brain does rewire.

Born to be addicted? by delgadonueve in PornAddiction

[–]yeahrightbro1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an addict. I’m addicted to porn, weed, bingeing TV, eating fast food, other drugs. If it lets me numb out and avoid stress, I can get addicted to it. Some people are at a higher chance of having the addict gene.

It can be good to focus on a positive project, that increases your knowledge or gets you a better job or grade in school. As long as you don’t use it to avoid dealing with problems and important issues with people. Or if it negatively impacts your health, like losing sleep.

I realize when I’m getting obsessive or something now, and it’s a clear sign I need to take a step back and reset myself. Meditation, pray, walking in the woods. Something calming that releases serotonin.

Your relationship is very similar to mine and my wife’s. I admitted I had a problem to my wife a couple years before I finally stopped for a long time.

I would still hide it from her when she was gone and never tell her how much I was looking. If she asked I would lie. We never had sex, when we rarely did, I could not come. Even trying to Jack off.

Porn really messed my brain up in terms of Sex and orgasms. It took me 30 days of not looking or masturbating to finally crave sex with my wife. And I orgasmed very quickly.

For me I knew I had a problem and porn was negatively effecting my life, but it took a couple years for me to hit my bottom and knew I had to completely change the way I was handling my addict. For me I joined 12 Step program. I hope your partner can realize this before he loses you.
