rebooting from looking at craigs list

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Dec 6, 2016.

  1. I quit porn three years ago now, never looked at it again, I was a heavy user to say the least. now I am ready to get to the next level, this is really hard, all I want to do it keep that mind set going, but I don't want to any more. hard hard hard. I don't do any more, massages or any thing like that. nothing. this is the last habit for me to kick.
     
  2. this is really hard, I don't have a girl friend, so I am all on my own. I am not in the position to have a girl friend. so what do I do.
     
  3. real connection is what I need!!!!!

    When you say, "looking at Craigslist", what exactly do you mean?
     
  5. Probably means Casual Encounters

    Although he could have a thing for new/used cars/trucks. I've seen some sexy autos.

  6. looking at casual encounters, I never really try to connect, I guess the language on the posts, are triggering like p videos. I think it's more about that then looking at the pictures actually.

    That can definitely be considered a Psub. If you're not looking to connect, why go there? You also mentioned massages. Were you going to massage parlors?

  8. I don't go to any massages any more, not even normal ones. that's just the trick..why go on the craigs list..why? is the question. I'ts disgusting really, shallower end of things... I don't know.
     
  9. Have you tried going to actual dating sites? If you're genuinely interested in having a relationship with real connections then I would go that route.
     
  10. I am worried about online dating, I used to be addicted to it, never even met any one on it. maybe this is an extension of that. I would rather not go to any more dating sites, brings back to many triggers. so it's hard.

    I'm not judging someone that uses CL to arrange a hookup, or w/e. For you/ me/us, it's different. You're using cl the same way others use porn. It gives you the same high and has the same negative effects. It's also a gateway to other sexual addictions; like escorts and massage parlors, etc.
     
  12. Hmm. Maybe look for events for singles in your area? Usually there will be places which will do speed dating and other singles events.
     
  13. quite true. it gives me a high I like. I like hooking up in my head, but not in the real world. wonder why I like doing it in my head. soon as I leave my house, I forget about cl, and that stuff.
     
  14. yes, that's an idea. I bet there is in my area, I will look into it, I would feel safer that way.
