Hi Everyone! I'm 22 and I'm a porn addict. I have PIED. I tried to stop before on my own, but i never made it past 5 days, so I decided to turn for help to you guys. I never talked about this to anyone, but this addiction reached a point where it can't be just ignored anymore. I'm a very cheerful and outgoing guy, but I'm feeling down more and more in the recent months, almost to the point of depression. I have little motivation to do anything with my life, everything seems boring. I procrastinate a lot even if I know I want a better job, instead of sneding out my resume, I find myself masturbating. There are a few girls who like me, but I don't feel like putting effort to go on dates. This has to stop. I want to take back control over my life. My main problem is, I don't know what to do with my free time. Whenever I have free time I'm at the computer, playing video games or watching a TV show. But there are so many triggers everywhere. I'd greatly appreciate any suggestion to how to prevent relapsing in my free time. My only idea is to pick up a few books and read. Anyways, I'm gonna sign up to a challenge now, and I'm doing hard mode. I'll start a journal tomorrow. Thank you for reading and sorry for the long post.
