Hey guys how are you doing? So I had this progress in the months/years that I can peek some porn but resist to binge later/masturbate/continue to a full relapse. Before I'd unconsciously browse porn on weak days and stay on it for an extended amount of time. Once porn was viewed then end of the session was unknown. But these recent days/weeks I developed the mentality to resist porn binge but what bothers me is that I dont have full control on temptations. Its like a voice tells me search for hot stuff and I'll peek some images and skip porn videos for a few minutes like 5min. Resisting peek is sth I have less control on. Many times I resist but sometimes like today I lose. Its like my brain finds creative ways to convince me to search hot stuff and continue to actual porn. So I have few questions and seek a little validation from you. Are these behaviours normal for an ex hardcore porn user to go from long sessions to peeks? Am I improving in reboot with these behaviours described? Is this peeking stoping me from reboot? Is this a relapse? I will definitely appreciate your comments/experience/views on this topic. Thanks for your help guys
Hi friend . Imo its a progress . Not everyone can stop everything erotic right away and for most of us it has to be done step by step. First of all we must realise that at the end of this process we have to ditch all P and Psubs from our life . But dont get discouraged . Just be better every time and feel in your heart what is right thing to do . Best of luck to you
I dont know if you have any problem with peeking but for me only a few minutes of peeking leaves me with energy drainage. Its so unfair to me because I dont indulge, I stop myself in the peak of the act. Instead of reward Im brain foged every time. Like now I feel way worse than yesterday when I was energetic. Even today mording I had more mental clarity. Fuck this
What would you tell an alcoholic? Don't drink half a bottle of vodka, but you can take some sips for 5 minutes You can do this but you can still say you are sober from your addiction. Even though you are drinking alcohol, it is not a relapse. The reality is that the alcoholic and you are still feeding your addiction. You need to stop using porn completely.
Yeah. Absolute rationalism. Can't say a word against. But this is what I could do as far as today. I've built defensive mechanisms in my brain, still sometimes I lose to temptations. Its become a win/lose or 50/50 battle while a few months ago urges meant total relapse. And yes my aim is to completely remove porn from my life. Thanks for your feedback
