    Hi @change_my_life :)
    Stay strong man! We're here with you. Remember that PMO doesn't have ANY benefits. Even though some people think it does, these are only excuses. You're stronger then your brain! Keep on fighting ;)

    I gave you my status that I wrote yesterday:

    PMO is pain!!! (dressed as pleasure). Remember that.

    It is a real pain, it makes you depressed, sad, unhappy, you name it.
    Would you go and suffer pain just for nothing? Would you put your hand onto something extremely hot (cooker for example) and keep it there to feel pain? Of course not. So why do it with PMO? PMO is exactly same pain.

    Thanks bro! Can i ask does PMO make u feel ungrateful for things? I feel like after pmo i get worse at lookin at my weakneses more and getting depressed over it than actually lookin at the things i got which are positive about me ? It feels like you put the guilt of the people in the P on to urself everytime u watch it

    change_my_life,

    The dangers of internet pornography are very real friend. Its not just a matter of the principle of Good or Evil. It has real life observable damaging affects to your brain rivaling that of hardcore drugs. Hyperstimulating your brains reward system with pornography is not only taxing physically, but its going to wire you in a way where the only thing that brings you any pleasure is watching it. You'll eventually need more and more of it, be withdrawn from reality and escalating to hardcore fetishes and other abominations. Its going to ruin your life long term, and who knows what it will do to your brain or health in the future. And your right, PMO numbs you to the real joys and pleasures in life and turns you into this self-consuming selfish addict. If you ever meet a heavy drug addict, youll recognize that they dont give a crap about anything except getting the next high. They'll sacrifice and do completely irrational things for it. Pornography is not very different.

    But we are all here to support you on this journey. I can tell you without a doubt, ive been in your shoes before, doubting whether or not its worth doing. Its worth it, trust me.
