I think everyone here should know that they have to realise the real reason why you want to quit in order to sincerely give up this bad habit.
It can be because it is harmful for you, because of religious reason or even to be a better person.
For me i have always wanted to quit because of religious reason. It is a sin. Other than that i also want to be a better person. I want to stop because i have been observing that i am not productive, not active and i always feel bad of the state i am in.
From now on, I am going to start a new page, and not lie to myself and not be in denial.
Go get a GYM membership, learn a new skill, do something good for yourself, occupy your life with the things god have created you for;appreciating yourself.
With that we all should not be demotivated and thing positive. When you relapse get back up and restart and dont think that you have failed but think that you suceed in overcoming the number of days.
No one said this would be easy. It took a long time for me to finally want to stop, so it will take some time to reboot too. Take it as losing weight there is no fast option or easy way out.
Learn and understand more about yourself. Get to know YOU.
Every time I relapse and sit to study I’m not able to recall the things I studied and it takes 2-3 days to get back on track.
Idont want to go through all this again . I’m getting stronger day by day.
• It always ends with shame.
• It takes a lot of energy, which i can use for importent tasks and goals.
• It’s fake and not real.
• It harms the brain.
• It makes me angry and life looks pointless every time i give up to it.
i have a vision for my daily life and future life and this addiction interferes with it.
Also when i am without this addiction i see life in a wonderful way.
I care about living virtuously. So, indulging in PMO made me feel like a hypocrite.
I don’t support the porn industry( not that i have any built up hatred for it like other people. Regardless of that it is my decision after my unbiased & objective reasoning). so again, feel like a hypocrite if I indulge in porn or anything associated with/inspired by porn.
i escaped using PMO whenever i had negative feelings. That’s not the healthy and mature way to find solution to my negative emotions.
Also i care for my future spouse and want her to be the only one. Who will deserve my feelings.
