THIS TEENAGER needs a LIFE

Hello everyone! This is just a short introduction of myself.

First of all, the reason why I'm here is because I recently FINALLY made my decision to end my about 4 yrs of porn addiction. It started when I'm just mid-13 and I'm 16 this year.This year is pretty important to me since I have pretty big examinations coming up during November. Then I thought to myself," Hey JW, how are u going to make sure you actually hit your target this yr?" You see, there was another big examination when I was 13 but unfortunately did not make it to my dream school. So at the start of this year, I asked myself," Whats different? Why is it that you think you have a shot at your target when you failed miserably before?"

So after about a few days, I came across a website sharing how someone changed his life for the better after quitting porn for a year. I got inspired and thought that I should try that too! Of course, I failed miserably and relapse right on the second day. You see, I have a pretty big addiction to porn. I liked various types of porn and watch them at least once EVERYDAY! Its only when I started realizing that my erections are not as full and morning woods are disappearing that porn does have negative impacts on your life!

I always felt encouraged at my age since there are lots of articles stating how masturbation is good for health and I must have confused between watching porn to healthy fapping. Also, being in a boys school and all gave me fewer interactions with a girl at my age (other than my siblings of course). Hence, I normally resort to porn to fulfill my sexual desires since I know I'm in that part of my life where hormones are raging.

Then right after that relapse, I thought hard and long and finally, know how I was going to achieve my goals this year. STOP WATCHING PORN! If those advantages of stopping porn are true, then maybe I should give it a shot. And so I did, pretty successful right until the fourth day when I came across a sexy picture on facebook. Felt like shit after that relapse, and I thought," is it even possible to stop this addiction?"

So I was very determined at that point and starting reading lots of articles on how to stop porn addiction. Got motivated again and continued this journey. Amazingly, I made it to 2 WEEKS without porn!And those benefits about quitting are true! I became MUCH more productive, finishing my homework right after I went home when normally I'll just have slackened off and played. Tests during these 2 weeks were a breeze with straight As. I was also able to exercise more, something I only dreamed about when i was watching porn.

HOWEVER, just a few days ago I got a taste of a long-term relapse. FELT REALLY BAD. It all just started with a simple news article and somehow got turn on and this one thing. Thought it was okay to just browse some pics to fulfill my "hunger" and that point and somehow ended up on a porn site. Fortunately, I read up articles on how a relapse is necessary for quitting porn addiction. Hence got very motivated again.

Sadly, just today (the day that I wrote this post), got a feel of the chaser effect and fapped again, at least not to porn this time, more like imagination. So I thought long and hard again about this and decided things really needed a change if I was going to quit this shit once and for all.

HENCE, the reason for writing this post.I wanted a change and a community who can keep track of my progress and encourage me on, since I realized that no matter how much willpower you have, it will still not be possible without support from family, friends, God, and even strangers like you whom I'm sharing my story with.

I'll finally be able to get to a mixed school next year and get more interactions with a girl.I really want to thank God and my parents for having me and giving me a pretty decent look. But all this felt pointless as long as I keep watching porn.

IN CONCLUSION, I hope this post really helped you guys to get to know better about me. Please reply and share with me your thoughts!

THIS TEENAGER NEEDS A LIFE..... (or does he just need to stop watching porn?)

 

well i plan to exercise thrice a week now (HIIT), plan to keep myself busy with homework or watch shows like Korean drama, anything that would keep me occupied without drifting off to watch some random stuff online since I realized most of my triggers are from being too bored and browsing the web, resulting in seeing some pictures that would turn me on.

Well, those steps are actually what helped me to get to my record of 2 weeks, but now I came to this website.......

SO I'm planning to read at least one success story on overcoming porn addiction or just anything related to quitting porn every day to stay informed and motivated. This is something I haven't tried before.

Also, i will try to stay away from my bed other than when I'm sleeping since I almost only fap on the bed, so ill try to watch shows while sitting down on my chair now. This can also be better for my eyesight. Killing 2 birds with a stone!

This is sort of my plans to overcome the first few weeks since the urge will still be manageable, at least for the first few weeks as I've done it before.

Any ideas on how methods to stop permanently?? Please do share with me!


Also, this is the first day of my legit porn quitting journey (the day that i wrote this reply) WISH ME LUCK!
