    Trying to abstain from P is making me mentally ill. I'm trying not to M but i just can't seem to stop myself from sneaking at P.

    It seems my mind can't handle going cold turkey. Like it asks/forces me to slowly build off first.

    I'm having withdrawal symptoms which include frustration and the need for watching P even if M is not included.

    I'm getting wicked inside of my head i hope it will be over soon. I'm scared for the coming weekend already. I hope i won't binge watch and relapse again.

    Be brave.
    Porn and M are addictions on par with smoking and no serious smoker will tell you that quitting is easy. It takes courage and balls, but the benefit will be huges.

    How are you today?
    My BF has been binge viewing since I moved in 2 years ago. He used to M, but the addiction spread to other areas of his life. How long has it been like this for you? You're brain is chasing the high and P is the associated material/substance. You're brain is probably in overdrive, it needs support - positive stimulus - always positive.
    Exercise, burn of your energy! But not too close to bed time as you'll have insomnia! Get a handle on compulsions, meditate. Most importantly, don't lose the belief that you can reboot. Hope is very important. Take care!

    Man oh man. I wish I could give you some inspiring words, and say it gets easier. If you go on for long enough, it does get easier, but temptations can still be there, and if you fall, you don’t start all over, but you can keep slipping further and further back.

    Progress for me got so slow that I was feeling much better, and didn’t realize it, until I relapsed, then hours later it hit me hard. Flu like symptoms, anxiety, stress, depression, restless leg, fatigue, loss of confidence, frustration, and the list goes on.

    The temptations can go away and you can heal, just think of it as working out in the gym. Train against resistance and you get stronger. Every time you resist temptation your brain gets stronger.

    And just like the opposite effect, every time you eat cupcakes you can get fatter, and if you relapse your brain can remember how to trick you.

    I think some good advice would be to NEVER give up. I used to fap everyday on average. Some days I would miss a day and other days I would twice. For at least 20 years probably.

    So even if we say no once, and go one day without. Eventually we will keep getting stronger. Everyday not fapping is a win. We must not always get stuck saying we have to do 90 days. One. Day. At. A. Time.
     
  6. I recommend meditating for 40 minutes every day, and if you can't do that much once, break it into two parts. Praying is also another good daily activity. Listening to ambient sounds like forest, ocean waves or rain drops will help you with the recovery, there are tons of them on YouTube. Take a long walk in nature, don't wear headphones or use a smartphone, just immerse yourself in and take a look at everything.

    No violent TV-series or movies at least for a couple of months into the recovery. I know it sucks if you happen to be a fan of the movies and stuff, but if you want to get better then you must take all the precautions necessary in order to heal your beaten brain. Nature documentaries are very relaxing, so are many other documentaries. Comedy and drama movies are also good, but you should check beforehand if they have any nudity. Socializing is also another important factor, but give some relaxing rest time for your brain.

    I know right?! Although it's good to know about the larger conspiracy. However I'm not all that surprised! Quite evil indeed! But I think my BF is in denial about it. How much is fact I wonder? Probably all of it, knowing this world.

    I'm sure there is lots of embellishment in those points but no denying it is the work of hell! How can it not be? The last time I was on websites I ought not to have been (legal) the animations were always of small framed women being violated by beast of all kinds - most of them with horns! This doesn't happen by accident, but by design.

    I will admit unfortunately due to PMO i have a turn on by seeing hardcore P. Especially wife’s or women that seem helpless and being used and degraded.

    I want that fetish to leave. It’s not normal or healthy. I want to be able to not view women as a object. I want to view them as a daughter of God. Not imigine what they look like in their underwear.

    i literally mean satanists, thats what they want, because apparently promoting pornography and sodomy is one of the main rituals during Satan worship, it gives more power to the satanists, because at the end of the day, Lucifer/Satan wants control over our mind and soul and he can do this easily b

    It’s not making me mentally ill, just a desire to have a relationship with a woman. I want that so bad. Not going to fap. I want to ejaculate into vaginas, not tissues.

    Hello my dear friends, today was the day that all hell broke loose. I relapsed unfortunately to femdom P again. Funny enough i don't even get aroused anymore by regular porn. After reading your post Truthexposed611 i was even more disgusted about regular porn. Maybe that is a reason why i turned to femdom porn after many years of watching regular porn?

    I mostly watch femdom porn where it's just a POV between me and the girl. Maybe that's why i find it more attractive. I feel a genuine connection at least...

    I also have a sense that since i'm no more virgin regular porn just doesn't do it anymore for me. I've watched a lot of "regular porn" during my virgin days though.

    I haven’t ejaculated in 25 days, and when I walk around I feel like an alpha. You just gotta do it. You’ve tried fap, now try nofap.
