Hello everyone. It took me a bit to realize I had a problem. I’m sure my story is similar to most. I called off work on Friday (i work at a psychiatric hospital) because i would have the house to myself (i live with my wife and two flat mates). I spent over 24 hours straight watching, and it even extended into last night. I have a collection of 4 pay sites and obviously all the free stuff out there. Y’all, I feel like I’m always standing near quicksand… It’s all there, it’s all easy, it’s often free… I used not to even do anything except with a significant other. But starting about four years ago, I started down a path that has led me here. I have an addiction to pornography, and it’s not going away on its own (i’ve tried that). I need some trees to climb, i’m sick of sinking into the ground. I’m happy I found y’all. Hailing from Chicago, R5. Peace, i hope everyone is giving themselves some grace today.
Hey, I am also new here. The biggest thing is that you are taking some action towards improving it. You should give yourself a lot of credit for this. Human beings don't change behavior patterns unless they want to or because the existing state is too painful to continue. It's ok. Just my personal take, I would cancel the pay sites asap and then take that money (or half of it) and reward yourself with something like a nice meal, something that might help your journey here, or anything unrelated that would make you feel better. Tell yourself it feels good to spend your money on something that's improving your future. Cheers dude. SS
