Escape and never come back

I'm really stressed out. Maybe that's why the consistent urges. We all know about the altered stress response. It's probably the hardest streak I'm trying to accomplish because life is pretty complicated for me these days.

Porn won't solve the stress issues! So - don't give in! Our brain always tells us how nice it would be and the little escape from our stresses it would give - but it deludes us. We have a tough time seeing through the haze to the other side where we know we feel even worse!

As an alternative - go for a walk in nature to destress - or whatever things you like to do. But nature has a proven effect on people. Music too!

Thanks for advice, man. Yes, I agree that my brain would like a "break" very much. When going through suffering, even a few minutes of being able to breath a little become very "important". All this is a normal response to suffering though, only that our mind complicates it. At the core of everything it's pretty clear: You have conditioned yourself to respond with porn to mental discomfort, by taking "break" from your life, of course when things get difficult, that's what you crave. And it should be pretty obvious but all the things the mind tells us complicate everything.

this is one of the characteristic, tell-tale signs you are addicted to something. you use it for an escape from reality. you are using it to cope with the problems in your life instead of dealing with those problems in a healthy way. Ironically, it only creates more problems and stress in your life from failed relationships or altered brain chemistry or sexual dysfunction etc and then you try to cope even more with the behavior as a result. You just keep digging the hole deeper and deeper until before long, you cant seem to climb back out.

thats certainly been my experience for over a decade. this problem sucks! cant wait to be rid of it forever and never go back and keep it as far away from my loved ones as possible

Remember - The more you PMO, the more addicted you will be. The less you PMO, the less addicted you will be.

That streak doesn't matter anymore, forget about it.

If you only PMO once this month, that's a HUGE turnaround and a lot of solid recovery to boot.

Dust yourself off man. You can do this.

I wish I had "just 1 PMO this month" man. But it's not possible anymore. Anyway, thanks for support.
