I wish I only had a sex drive for my girlfriend

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, May 28, 2019.

  1. This shit is such a burden and causes a lot of unnecessary suffering. I feel like I'm just growing old trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts as a result of escalation from a 10 year porn addiction. I want to look at people in a normal way again--I crave normality so fucking bad, I'd give up anything at this point. I refuse to be going on NoFap.com everyday until I'm 90 years old

    Can anyone relate to this? Anyone?!

  3. I’ve never fully rebooted, only half-assed it. I need more discipline
     
  4. So what steps are you going to do to achieve it?

    I just can tell u that it is a long way and that i ve done a lot of attempts by now but with every single one the issues become a little bit better. just try to go step by step. Maintain as long as u can and dont be frustrated if u fail once or twice. I m now back to another attempt that i want to last longer then my longest streak which was about 2 months so lets see if we can do this together :) One of the most important things is to feel the pain and watch it doing its job. It comes in waves that go away within half an hour or so and then it comes back and goes away but it weakens over the time. if u feel the urge focus on other things. if u are at home, walk into another room or start cleaning, go for a walk. do workouts (very effective!). these are some of my ways to stay in track. maby it can help u aswell

    I dont think someone should attempt this on his or her own. Always get the people around you to help and assist you in your recovery.

    I have had extreme success with starting light and just quitting porn for around three and a half months and then switching to no pmo after that.
    This really is depending on what truly is important for you, because you will need a shitload of willpower to succeed, as well as the knowledge that you are probably getting horrible cravings, severe anxiety as well as depression when attempting this.

    I used to only get aroused by super hot girls, after being trapped with porn for almost 20 years. I started at around 12 and just recently quit this year, now being 32. I lost all my youth due to videogames and porn, never had any sort of relationship with a girl until i was 31.

    You don't seem like such a severe case, but you have similar symptoms.
    The will to just be able to have a healthy relationship with a girl is so strong that i am willingly accepting all the anxiety and depression in the world by now. And those hit fucking hard. But for me, its either that or going back to porn and sacrificing any good relationship with a woman i might really like or even fall in love with.

    I am not giving up this part of Life.
    Ever again. And you shouldn't either.

    Fight for your happiness!
