Have you ever felt like social media, in particular Facebook and Instagram, are one of the main reasons behind us relapsing… Or is it just me who find any female picture hot?
I am really confused… Do you guys feel that the threshold became so low to the point that any picture with very mild sexual content gets us ueged? I feel like I am sick…
And does quitting porn for months get us back to normal?
I don’t want to feel urged every time I look at someone beautiful or some good looking pictures of normal people…
Should I be worried too much? Could someone with a long streak answer me please? Thanks in advance…

I had a 21 day longest streak before now Day 0. Can I ask, do you have social anxiety? Because I do and its the main reason I’m always in my phone or have trouble meeting people. Porn is like a different world than this for me. Like an escape. Don’t have to be nervous etc…I am free to do whatever I want with my fantasies in porn. But in the end it doesnt satisfy. I find that trying to s stay away from phone or electronic devices for less than 2 hours can help you make a plan. Like make a plan once you don’t use devices alot. It will be hard first time but can be done.

I already got 70 days without porn but today I’m 4 days. And I can tell you that is perfectly normal, I think it’s our brain trying to bring you back to the porn and in this journey you will experience the flat line. Flat line is when you simply stop to feel urge.
In resume, you don’t need to fell bad for that, it’s only a phase of a long way to quit the addiction.
Sorry for my English, I am practicing.

@happinessisinourhands It’s normal to have those feelings, I had them. Some days will be easier some will be harder it’s all part of the recovery process. Oh yeah, I personally stopped Facebook and Instagram, because I knew how to find sexual content on Instagram. When I was on instrgram I would just get a urge and I was toast. P. S. I’m on a 160 day streak.

I don’t actually have social anxiety… I hope you overcome that…
Although I do have phone addiction which I started paying attention to yesterday… I deleted the Facebook app (I only search for things on Facebook from Chrome so I don’t end up seeing something I don’t want to see)
I don’t know if I had what it is called social anxiety… But I used to spend days in my room without truly getting out… But now that I moved to a better place with all my friends being near to me… I kinda saw that the problem was in fact the old place and not me in particular…
If I were you I would still consider getting out every single day for at least an hour… Trying to overcome what I think is slowing me down from being what I am…
I really hope you overcome these cuffs, remember… The key to unlock these cuffs is actually in our hands. And it always has been…
Thanks for explaining that… I hope we all get over 70 days streak… Keep it up and you will get there… You English is perfectly fine for me

Thanks a lot… This really helped…
So you moved in with friends and that made urges to stop? Oh I see. But I dont have much friends. Mostly cause of my social anxiety and pornography. Caused me to be indoors and not meet people. Yeah I plan to do a going out routine to avoid it.
