Struggling
Last week was a good week for me. I abstained from watching porn and masturbating and I felt really proud of myself. Until monday.... I gave in Monday and I masturbated. I told myself okay you're fine, just keep going and don't do it the rest of the week. .... Lies I watched porn yesterday and today as well and I've done absolutely nothing for myself to feel proud of. I hate this I hate myself. Why can't I stop? This is weighing me down and I can't stop. My confidence is nowhere to be found as well as my peace all I feel is failure. I've failed at life for so long and its because of this addiction. What do I do? Who do I turn to? How can I change? I've had enough of this.. im at the end of the line.
I don’t know about this type of addiction but I think with COVID and so much happening in the world it’s easy to fall back into addictions. I think you need to ask yourself if this is something that is harming you and your relationships and if so how can you from from that? Is there someone you can talk to when you feel these urges and what is triggering them?
I understand this condition, it’s best to not think about it, don’t think about anything sexual, look at more positive things, don’t let your sexual desires control you, please.
I've honestly gone through this struggle as well. try to spend time doing things you enjoy to get your mind off of doing it. you arent a failure because of this I promise you this will end soon. when you feel like you're about to do it think to yourself "should I actually do this? what will I earn from this?". this will hopefully lead you away from it. I hope this helped :)
I commend you for being so brave as to make a public comment about such a sensitive and personal topic. What has helped me in my addiction to pornography has been leaning on Jesus through my hard times, and allowing god to change my heart and my desires. Each time I feel an urge I talk to Jesus about it and it goes away every single time. Jesus has changed my life, and I hope that you allow him to do the same for you. Also, remember not to be to hard on yourself. Life is full of ups and downs. Just learn from your mistakes, and celebrate your successes. I’ll be praying for you, and always remember that you are not alone.
Hey! You've actually made a start and steps toward your addiction its okay to that you gave in you and you even went a week! That is amazing just let me know if you want to talk I am struggling this same issue too. Remember you went a full week try going an extra day this week without giving in we are proud of you
Each day is a fresh new slate! I know how hard setbacks feel. I’ve had mine & I'm still struggling daily. You start to feel like your twisted up inside or your brain chemistry is off. But, remind yourself that just being here & letting others listen & help is a huge step. You are brave & bold for being you! We’re here for you. Porn doesn't own you! 🙏🏻🤟🏻
