Hi, I'm 19 years old, dealing with this issue for the past 5 years. It already caused a lot of damage in my life, but, having relapsed little over an hour ago, I felt compelled to write down this list. I know this probably happens to a lot of you, when after relapsing you feel more determined to quit this self-destructive habit once and for all, only to relapse days/weeks later. However, at least this time I took the initiative to write this. In some way, sharing it here seems more binding than just keeping it in my notebook. Reasons Why I use PMO: 1) I feel lonely 2) I have no true goals in life 3) I haven't found a meaning to my life. 4) Overall numbness towards the world, an orgasm seems to be the only thing I can feel anymore. 5) I medicate myself with porn to stop feeling bad. 6) Never had a girlfriend, barely no sexual experience. 7) I can't stop. Reasons Why I should quit PMO: 1) I would feel good about myself/ more confident 2) I would be more productive/ get better grades 3) I would have a better chance at finding a girl. 4) I would have more time to read/ pursue other hobbies
A lot of truth and my own feelings and thoughts in your list. stay strong and win your battles my friend..... I would also add a negative as the more years you clock up fapping, the more likely you are to develop long term mental health issues. good luck
Pls do evrithing possible to quit this destructive habit ones and for all. I was just like u and now am 22 and addicted for a decade.
