Need some help rn

Hey guys and girls,

I’m spending some time alone at home for the first time in weeks and am having a bit of trouble staying at track.
By any chance, anyone out there willing to chat a bit? Have a talk about whatever, can be this whole addiction or other stuff. Would be greatly appreciated, thanks :slight_smile:

Hey man! Are you experiencing urges from being home alone?

Yeah. Having trouble with them the last few days already, now being home alone should actually provide me with the time to recharge my batteries…but at the same time it’s like something is telling me I should use the opportunity, because now’s the time…you know? Stupid as I write it down, but at the same time it’s in my head and I can’t do anything against it

That’s completely normal man. Right now your mind is trying so hard to trick you into relapsing. It happens almost everytime with me. It tries to make a relapse sound not as bad as it really is, if that makes sense

We’ve all been there man. There’s an “opportunity” and our brain goes “we could watch some”. Stay strong. Read your reasons for doing this.

Take care.

Thanks.
Read your reasons. That’s agtually a good idea. I have some written down in a diary that’s like a few years old…I’ll go look for it, that will distract me for at least half an hour knowing my organisation

I know man, I know.
I’ve been battling this actively since 3 or 4 years now, I’ve been there so often.
That’s why this time I though about getting in touch with you all immediately.
First impulse was “don’t do it that’s miserable you are weak” but he’ll that’s why we are all here, right?
So thanks a lot for replying. Helped a bit already

You’re totally right man. But you’re welcome! I would suggest you go for a walk or even jogging because that’s what usually works for me when I have urges

DON’T TOUCH IT
DON’T LOOK IT
DON’T GET NEAR IT
Porn has messed up our brain, we have huge neural pathways that lead us to relapse, and they all start with a look, or curiosity.
Everytime you say no to temptation, it weakens the link between pornography and pleasure.
Everytime you say yes to a new habit, running, painting, talking to a friend, it strengthens your willpower and you start to rewire your brain
Neurons that fire together wire together.
Run
RUN
Do something new
