    Feeling of loneliness can consume us to an extent where we start acting like animals. It leads us to a point where we don't want to control our desires and let our desires lead us into whatever pit they want to. No matter how much we want to believe that all of it is under our control, most of the time it isn't because most of the time, we ourselves aren't in control of our desires. Past few days have been hard on me. I had a bad break up with my friends and I didn't know how to deal with it. My body started acting out of this grief. It needed a release of stress. So, it did. I started with masturbation and it led me to watching pornography. I remember atleast 4 nights of shame in past week. I don't want this to be me. This person isn't me. I do not want to be driven by this lust and hunger. I am overstressed and I am trying to study. I am at the point where I have to make a career. Please help. Give your sweet suggestions after you go through this thread. Would mean a lot to me.

  2. Try to do scary stuff (get out of your comfort zone). Don't try to control all and start enjoying small things in life like for example small talks and sports. Start loving yourself and seek help in others.

    Recovery is hard and requires living by the moment. Quitting and change will be extremely hard, it may look easy sometimes but it's not. This day can be easy and tomorrow you may be screaming for help.

    Self-education is also a good way to understand things besides start categorize your feelings and rate them.


    Good luck :)

    Thank you so much for this.
     
  4. I suggest every newbie to read "Your Brain On Porn" by Gary Wilson. He explains the science behind any addiction..

    Also, recovery isn't a straight line.. So there will be times when you'll feel frustrated but have some compassion towards yourself & continue your journey!!

    Replace unhealthy habit with healthy one.. Have patience, put in your efforts & keep going no matter what ! You can read through other journeys as well, post your own journey in Women in reboot section, reach out & help others as well !

    Cheers & good luck ! :)

    I have decided that I will keep a journal. It feels like too much to do on my own.
