    I agree with staying vigulent even after such a long time...but i sometimes wonder I used to smoke a lot of cannibas...and i mean a lot! It robbed me of so much and no doubt contributed to my current issues with mental health and addiction But ive been clean of the smoke for 10 years and from the time i quit ive absolutely hated the shit I mean i dont look back with fond memories I fucking hate everything about it and ive never been tempted to smoke I know all too well the pain it has caused I hope it will be the same with this porn shit sooner rather than later! All it causes is pain...and im aware that one addiction replaces another as is often the case I hope i can replace porn with something positive to be 'addicted' to? Keep up the fight brothers...my two cents...peace

    Alyson,

    In hindsight, the biggest thing that kept me moving forward oddly was FEAR. I was scared of PMO ruining my life any more than it already had. This essentially made quitting PMO addiction a matter of life or death for me.

    As far as things that helped my recovery:
    Regular exercise
    Joining a support group on this site helped a ton
    Cold showers to fight off urges
    creating a journal page to write about your feelings during the process

    Really the only thing I can say is you have to want to recover. Don't fall into the victim mentality that "Relapsing isn't a choice".. it absolutely is. You have to want recovery more than you want that PMO.

    Oh my God that's unbelievable....2 years sober? That's so amazing and so encouraging to be able to get to the point where if you wanted you could completely abstain sex at will. I'm sure you've been able to accomplish a lot because of it and feel much better at the same time. Kudos brother, and thanks for being an inspiration.

    I'm on day 10 and got a long way to go. I will definitely be sober and share my two year story. I know it's not going to be easy but I will get it done. PMO has ruined my life for 18 years.

    With your story, I know where I need to be. I can answer how and why. Great story as you are the true definition of inspiration.

    2 points.
    "Pornography is not a part of my life"
    "There is no option"

    Resolute decisions make all the difference. What we say mentally is important.

    GOD'S PEACE!!!

    Really inspiring man. I love how you say in such a matter-of-fact way that porn simply is "just not a part of your life any more." It's a simple but powerful phrase that encourages me very much to one day be able to say the same.
