Today is a new day

I’m scared. Not afraid to admit it. I have been battling porn escalation, HOCD (possibly), and childhood sexual abuse. My comfort has always been PMO, but today is the day I quit. I need to end the confusion. Figure out who I really am, move on in my life if I must, but the only way I’ll get the answers I am truly seeking is if I give up pornography. I hope by abstaining from porn, my reboot will help me realize that childhood abuse and other factors have made my porn addiction escalate. If not, I’ll accept my sexuality and move on. I’m tired of feeling miserable. I would love some words of encouragement. Thanks!

Hello! welcome to the forum! PMO affects so many parts of our lives, not just our cocks. the other things that come with it like depression, fucked up dopamine reserves, anxiety, public masturbation / urination, social awkwardness, lethargy... i could go on...and i will! lack of pleasure in other things, loss of hobbies / interests, friendships strain, trouble concentrating, brain fog... i think you get the idea that PMO gets its filthy claws in you and attacks other parts of your life. while your past experiences with abuse might not be resolved by rebooting ( that might be something a professional can advise you with), the other benefits of quitting PMO will absolutely make your life so much better and enjoyable. you dont have to feel miserable, escpecailly not because of wanting to fap to pixels on a screen.
put this PMO addiction in the ground, bury it, then piss on its grave!

Hello. My addiction is also rooted in childhood abuse. It's really hard to break the cycle of addiction, but there are many people to attest that it IS possible. I think that one of the most important things is to approach recovery from the perspective of loving yourself. Your porn consumption does not mean that you are bad, it is rather a complex manifestation of your trauma. You can take a look at my journal to get my perspective. (Also, if you are looking for an AP you can send me a message!).

Thank you very much for this kind response. I am not sure what an AP is but I assume it’s an accountability partner?
