Respected Member
Thanks all for advice and support. I appreciate it.
My advice, take it or leave it:I know that technically every human being has the possibility to quit porn if they are addicted but I don't know what that is. I don't know how to quit, I can't quit or whatever.
I appreciate your support but I would appreciate if you didn't write this sort of stuff in my journal again, I'm not in the mood for this. Thank you for understanding.Just briefly reading your past few relapses, try not to beat yourself up too bad. I won't lie and say it's no big deal, because it is a big deal. But you aren't going to improve by beating yourself up. Look back at the guy who relapsed, and love him. Really understand his suffering and struggles and that he's trying, and wants to get better. Give him a fucking hug.
Honest question, not intending to be sarcastic/condescending/whatever, what do you want from the community here? Do you want advice on how to effectively quit? Do you want encouragement? Or do you just want a place to write things down and send them into the void that is the internet? What does good support look like to you?I know that technically every human being has the possibility to quit porn if they are addicted but I don't know what that is.

Hey, man, I apologize for that thing, I was angry and depressed after the relapse. Maybe it came out worse than I wanted to say it. The thing is, I was mad at myself for relapsing continously and I hated to see people keep telling me to be nice to myself. Yes, maybe this is what I should do. But anyway, the thing is, this stupid porn addiction has this talent to transform you. I am, by default, a nice, humble guy, but this fuckin addiction has me by the balls. I'm on edge. I hope you forgot about it.Honest question, not intending to be sarcastic/condescending/whatever, what do you want from the community here? Do you want advice on how to effectively quit?

At the top of my post I said "take it or leave it" and leaving it is an option. But beyond that first part you didn't like, did you read the rest of it? It's good advice. Identify your problem areas. Come up with a plan for quitting. Build a framework. Stick to it.
Hang in there man you can do it!Day 11
I can't lie, I need to be completely honest: Everyday is tightrope. I am starting to get very sexually hungry and frustrated and I am sure I am not doing all the things to maximize the chances for a successful rebooting but since I hit 30 years old I haven't been able to escape the running out of patience I'm experiencing with this porn addiction. I want to be done with it sooner and maybe this sabotages me but I don't know better for now. I just don't want to repeat the same circle.
Thanks for encouragement!Hang in there man you can do it!
Thanks, man!Nice job on day 12 Escape!
Hell yeah, well said! Like I used to say: One leads to something, the other to nothing. Withdrawal leads to escape, constant relapsing leads to nothing. It's true, we rather take the anxiety than porn because the anxiety is part of withdrawal.At least for me, I'll take anxiety over looking at porn any day. Both suck, but one is considerably better than the other.
