Hey I'm a student from India and have been addicted to porn since last couple of years and have been trying to get rid of it since last 6 months but I'm not able to give up my habit completely seeking help from you guys. Hopefully this time I'll be able to end this addiction forever. Wish me luck. Reading all post from different people already got me motivated and I have a good feeling about myself leaving this addiction behind from now on. ☺
I think it's kind of a mental health issue. At least I've been looking at it that way recently. I have existing mental issues though so maybe that is why it's that way for me? However, it seems to be a bad way to deal with things for a lot of people. Stress, anxiety, depression can lead to fapping. Much like mental health problems are brain will trick us into going down the old familiar paths over and over again with not a care for the harm and destruction is causes us. The brain will lie to us and convince us that it's ok to do it again, that it will be fun, pleasurable, not really that bad, everybody does it, etc, etc. However, in a clear healthy state of mind, you realize that the cons outweigh the pros and that porn and masturbation lead to unhappiness and unfulfillment. Unfortunately, that is about as far as I go, lol. I don't know the easy fix?
take it a day at a time.At least thats what I am doing.Try benefiting from the Bible and meditating on Gods love.This will keep your mind focused on things that matter
Yes its a mental game and Im trying my best to be mentally strong and not to loose it this time. Thanks for your reply.
