Hello everyone, I'm a 31 year old P addict, and i am desperatly trying to quit PMO'ing. 2 months ago i broke up with my girlfriend, because of my P induced ED. It's not the first time i tried to quit, ive been trying for 3 years now, but ive relapsed every time. My (ex)girlfriend knew about my addiction, i told her myself. At first she was very supportive, but after too many relapses, she became very agitated and dissapointed, and we just grew apart. I'm very dissapointed in myself and angry, that i couldn't even quit P for my girlfriend. I've started PMO'ing over a decade ago, the ED started about 8 years ago. It started with DE and slowly grew to ED. I really want to quit P, i get so desperate every time i relapse. The longest i went without PMO is 2 months. So, i found this place trough "your brain on p*rn" , and i hope i succeed this time, with the support of a community. Actually im glad, knowing there are people here fighting the same battle, and to know there are actually people who succeed in abstaining. This gives me a littlebit of hope for myself. As i said, i am P-addict for over a decade, i know it wont be easy abstaining, but i've begun 2015 with my mind on quitting PMO forever, so, i have done some preparations: 1) i became a member in this community. 2) i have installed a webfilter and i threw away the key 3) i installed a webfilter on my androidphone too. 4) i installed coldturkey on my laptop for emergency lockdown. I am definetly going to participate in a challenge and log my progress. I really have to succeed, i have no other option. By the way, my apologies for my english. I'm from Belgium, so dutch is my native language and French my second language. Friendly greetings, Waxweazel
I am a lot younger and a Christian. I am having the same problem. I am on-again/off-again with my addiction and would like to stop not only for my emotional problems, but my relationship with Christ also.
Welcome, Waxweaze. You've made a good move joining this community. Don't set your sights on too high a goal. 30 days is really the most I ever think about, and today is always the most important day. What other day can you control? Having said that, I did just commit to the 2015 year challenge, but I still primarily think about today. Good luck!
Thanks for the advice and the welcome, Reedman You are right, i will do this day to day. One day at a time is probably the best way to go. I also commited to the 2015 challenge I took longterm precautions, but i will battle my addiction from day to day. Good luck to you too!
Hey, sandwichcremes. I guess we are all in the same boat, but it is also comforting to know there are other people out there, fighting the same fight. It is also nice to read journals from other people that succeeded in banning P from their lives, it gives me hope, and it makes me believe i will succeed in this too, and you will succeed too. God bless you, and good luck !
