Hi guys,
My name's Ben, 34 years old from Canada. I've been with my wife for over ten years now and have a 3 years old daughter.
I began watching porn around the age of 14 or 15, but can't remember precisely. I have been struggling with PMO addiction for about 15 years now. During the last two years, I read a lot of books on the matter (e.g., Church, 2014; Fradd, 2017; Maltz & Maltz, 2008; Skinner, 2005; Wilson, 2014) and it made me realize that what I was struggling with was real. When I started my first reboot, I was able to achieve a ten-month streak. But I have relapse two or three times since then. Now working remotely from home (COVID-19 pandemic), I have found that it is really harder to achieve no PMO just by myself.
In short, I am trying to combine as much different methods as I can to stop my porn addiction. My recent participation on this forum is another solution I found to continue my no PMO journey. Here is my current motivation to fight and achieve my battle against PMO:
1. PMO impairs my day-to-day productivity;
2. I don't want to feel the resentment and pain of starting all over again from day 1;
3. Habituation to PMO seems to lead up to the development of extreme and deviant tastes, which I found really disturbing;
4. PMO drastically limits my capacity to enjoy the little things in life;
5. Porn ideals do not exist in real life;
6. Don't want to spend overly long period of time on porn again.
If anyone want to discuss, I am open to chat with you guys
P.s. I will try to update you on my journey around one to two times a week.
Best regards,
Ben
