I thought rock bottom came before you quit.... I was wrong

You know like any addiction I had imagined Porn/masturbation had your rock bottom moment then you find the strength to quit.  It got worse though.  Flatline caused my g/f to be done w/ me.  I'm exceptionally unhappy right now.

It feels like I'm totally broke.  Idk what to do with myself.  My only distraction has left me.

Idk sorry I just needed to vent.  I'm staying strong though.  I'm quitting this and alcohol at the same time and it's kinda brutal.  I used to drink when I was depressed.  Now I'm depressed more than ever.

You don't only have yourself, you have us too!

If you feel like you have no distractions, then it's possible that something in your life is missing, a void which is being filled with booze and PMO.  I suggest reading this thread from start to finish:

When you feel like this, it's probably time to channel that energy into something positive, building up your life and doing something you always wanted to do.  These are withdrawals man, your brain coming down from that dopamine high.  You HAVE to learn to deal with reality in order to reboot.  In time it WILL get easier as your brain re-adjusts to genuine stimuli.

You have not only this forum, but thousands and thousands of other addicts around the world that struggle with sex addiction.  More than anything else I've tried, sex addicts anonymous has been my saving grace.  Going to SAA meetings puts you face to face with other people going through similar struggles.  The honesty is remarkable and the acceptance is beautiful.  There is no judgement.  Seriously, look into some 12 step programs.

That's kind of interesting.. This seems to be a pretty common occurrence .  As soon as flatline hits,  girlfriends seem to breakup. 

Ravenous sluts..
