Porn is not an option

Sixteen months coming real soon. Life has been tough recently, and sometimes I wonder if it's the after effects of porn. I know for sure there's a bunch of circumstantial stuff happening right now in my life, family crap etc., but I do wonder how much of this is still coming from me being this far out and not having those mental highs in a very long time. I think it's possible for sure, but who knows. I can just tell my body and brain are craving for a high, not even porn per se, just the high and "release" that porn gives. I've only been this far out twice in my life. Damn, just that thought is crazy to think about. Twice! That would have to demand some real changes to my brain.

16 months is great, @Blondie! I don't know your life, of course, but my uninformed guess is that it's probably just...life. And yes, I know the craving for that high. Even real sex with a real woman doesn't quite fill it (which is insane). I think it'll eventually pass if you can keep going. Let's see you make it to 17!

Thanks, @Percival, I appreciate this! Yes, that high is often the end we seek, and porn is really just the means to get it. Understanding that fact is a big factor in this journey. I think I needed that reminder. You're right too, we have to believe if we keep pressing on, this will pass and the need for that high will diminish with time.

Thank you.
