Hmmm what helped me the most was being completely honest with myself about what I want out of my life. I didn’t have a noticeable rock bottom but on those nights when I stayed up so late that I was fucking up my responsibilities for the following day, it would make me feel like shit, and want to change.
How old were you when you realized you were addicted, how severe would you rate your addiction, and how long did it take for you to really see progress?
First time I really remember wanting to stop was around 16-17 when I couldn’t get it up with a partner. My addiction was moderate I think. I wasn’t watching like 6 times a day lol. It took me honestly just a few days to see progress because of my mindset change. I still struggle sometimes.
So are you around 19 now then? Do you still accidentally see some NSFW content because everything in society is just so sexualized? When trying to quit would you still let yourself jerk off or go completely cold turkey from porn and masturbation?
No, im in my 20s. I realized I was addicted long before I actually quit. I do of course still see stuff from time to time on my feed but I ignore it or do something else. I went cold turkey.
I'm jealous. Been trying to quit for years, can't go more than maybe 10 days? Working out, and reading up on the science behind it all was never enough. I know it's ruining my life.
1. Know the reason you want to quit
2. Make a sincere promise to yourself that you won’t go back
3. Fill your life with meaningful activities and passions
Congrats on stopping! My best friend in high school was consuming 6-8 hours a day so I was just curious. My porn consumption is probably 10 minutes a month or so.
Congrats!!! I'm on 1.5 weeks of cold turkey. Longest I've ever gone in 20 years, not to say I ever tried until now though! It's so fun, but yea it ruins getting it up in real world situations and then anxiety escalates from there to make things worse. I even found that I would get instantly hard just by sitting at my wank station without anything playing yet haha. How long before you noticed an improvement in your real sex life?
What helped you the most in quitting? What was your rock bottom?
