I am struggling for over 5 years. I had a lot of streaks like 4 months , 5 months, 80 days etc. I relapsed after 4 months streak by the way, and I just bored counting days, because I did it always and yes, I feel like I am trapped, I feel helpless to stop. But despite everything I am waking up again! I just curious about that, some people have some failures, some people when got information about that, they can quit quickly. But... but I just wonder is there anybody like me here, I am struggling for over 5 years maybe more. I decided to quit always of my life, I had many serious unsuccessful attempts but I have tons of failure in my life. What am I missing I don't know.
Try to seek a deeper reason for quitting that has nothing to do with others and start thinking about who you want to become start doing things that bring value in your life like working out doing hobbies and that you enjoy finding a purpose bigger than yourself.I didn’t start taking my recovery seriously until I got into more shameful genres you no you don’t want to do pmo so you have to try harder counting the days is a trap this is a journey with no clear destination I’m consumed with other things to the point where I’m not preoccupied with counting my days honestly bro porn is a waste of time and energy it doesn’t give you anything back but more emptiness so it’s your responsibility to beat this addiction but you don’t have to do it all by yourself find someone in person if possible where you can vent about your urges and feelings safely.You can do it do you really want to be a slave to an entity that feeds on your darkness and supports the sexual objectification of women and men and even children. I hope this helps
I only got to 30+ days once in 5 years. Finally I reached 90+ after 5 years, but relapsed on 102 as you know from my thread. Just keep trying, never give up. As I said in my thread I am a stress fapper, I recognize that and got my best streak ever. If you are the same, then whenever you're stressed definitely don't go looking for porn, you will fail. If you're at that point do everything you can to remove yourself from porn access. You have done better than me overall. Also if you did do it once every 3, 4 or 5 months that's much better than daily or multiple times a day so it's no failure.
Stress was one of my major factor. You are right about it, by the way I failed for the second timesin University entrance exam. I was always hardworking guy but man, porn really ruined my life. And if you are living a dictatorship it is far more harder to live. I just want my life back. I hope for you too brother! Stay strong.
If it’s any condolence it took me five years to take this seriously and to understand what I was going through was withdrawal. You’re not alone.
I think many of the people on here are like you. This is a vicious insidious addiction that is very hard to break especially if you have had it for decades. I have been trying to quit for 3 years now. I didn’t start getting any wind in my sails until I entered therapy and started to unpack all of the underlying issues around my addiction. Good luck. Keep fighting the good fight. You are definitely not alone.
