Use Mark Queppett's Sacred Sexuality site and others. The porn is totally destroying your perception of people.

Here's a summary from another post that is also useful:
You're in a bad place right now, and you have the power to change it little by little. First you should take all the recommended steps in the right direction. Here's my recommendation. You don't have to do them all at once, but tackle one at a time. The most important thing you can do (if you do none of these) is change your attitude into a positive one. Positive language and positive thoughts yield positive and rewarding results. If you have time, I recommend watching the free movie on youtube called, "The Secret". You might think it's stupid, but I have found that it's very rewarding.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltGstp5GaFc

1) Install K9. Block Pornography.
2) Delete any physical porn you have. Throw it out your window. Smash it. Break it. You won't regret it. If you have any word documents with your favorite sites/viedoes or anything like that - DELETE IT.
3) Go to yourbrainonporn.com Learn everything there is to know. Knowledge is truly power. If you realize that it's your brain's addiction to dopamine that is the problem and not you, it can be empowering. Learn as much as you can from that site.
4) Write down (even on NoFap) WHY you want to quit porn. Even if it's obvious. The stronger the emotions to quit, the more strength you're giving yourself at a weak moment.
5) Think of a moment in this journey when you were really weak. It might even be at the time of starting this post. Remember what you feel like and how much negativity there is. Whenever you're feeling a moment of weakness, you can remind yourself of this weak moment to have crave the emotion
6) Read these two articles:

ONE step at a time- you CAN get through this. If you think you can or you think you can't..... You're right. 'TRY NOT- DO or DO NOT There IS no TRY' Yoda

 

Sorry Mike- the original thread is titled Get educated, get tools, and learn to love withdrawls. It can be found searching in the search box for the site. This link should take you there but if not, type in that title in the search box and the original links come up with the FULL story and info.

Hi Mike,
I can really relate I used to see girls as objects and was thinking about sex 24 hours a day , I was watching porn over 4 times a day and doing this every single day for about 8 years.

Eventually I finally stopped watching by doing one big break, I used www.endtoporn.com they were great with there 4 week plan that everyday gives tasks, videos, materials to read, plus email support. If I can break the habit I know you can too.

Good luck.

 

Hi Mike.

The guys above are right. Make a plan.
Start to build up slowly, put together all the different threads and you will start to make progress and just as importantly feel like you are making progress.

Remember that there will be no recovery without relapse ( to begin with ).

You need commitment. When you fall down you have to get back up.

You need insight. When you slip , you have to analyse it and see what you can learn.

You need balance. Don't drag yourself down with every little thing you do wrong but don't indulge in bullshit excuses either.

Everyone here is rooting for you. Loads of guys have great advice and accountability partners can be a great help. Mine is so supportive and is always there for me.

Best of luck Bro

 

I can relate to the desperate reaction to seeing a girl in a bikini, yoga pants, cleavage, lips, eyes, hair, pheromones, ass. If I can not approach her, if she is preoccupied, if the girl ignores me it used to get me to act out through PMO. My ego gets bruised, or I feel undervalued, or unworthy to talk to real living girls, so I go to MO to the pixels, but its not real. I just need to give myself time to heal before I can expect to have a real relationship, but I am not a naturally patient person. Best of luck to you.

 

yes - this is the result of pornaddiction! brutalization of emotions towards women. it is very hard to turn back to normal (or better healthy) emotions. maybe impossible.
