Anyone struggling with porn use?

No, I understand, but I am trying to say that people in this app sometimes use language that is not appropriate for your age. There are posts in this app that has very disturbing content for your age.

@kevinlester that's good, do you want to stop watching porn all together or ok watching once in a while?

@kevinlester I'm addicted to porn and used to be heavily addicted watching it multiple times a day for many hours. I'm trying to quit for good too as I've lost control so cant manage my porn anymore. Some people who aren't addicted I've heard can watch it once in a while and it npt take over their lives, but Im not one of them.

Mine was about 45 days, but it helped that I had a accountability partner. Maybe look into the 12 steps as a framework if you haven't already. It may or may not be for you

This is the nightly review they do to keep track of emotions that can lead to a relaspe alcohol,, drugs or porn, doesn't matter Daily inventory 1. Was I resentful? 2. Was I dishonest? 3. Was I afraid? 4. Did I promptly admit when I was wrong today? 5. Do I owe an apology? 6. Did I do or say something today out of fear? 7. Have I kept something to myself which should be discussed with another person at once? 8. Did I think today of what I could do for others? 9. Was I kind and loving towards all? 10. Did I reach out to someone in recovery today to see how they were doing? 11. Did I take the time to connect with my higher power through prayer or meditation today?

Its a great support network and community too. I go to SAA meetings. They also have international telemeetings you can join

Well done man

What do you mean?

I think you are too young to use this app @pea.

No I’m not. I need help too. I might be young but I struggle with ocd too.

Well idk what it means anyway s

@pea Out of curiosity, how old are you? (answer only if you want)

he said he is 9

he said before

Whoa. I didn't see that. I totally agree with you then @Anonymus22

Anyone struggling with porn use? @pea I'm not in a position to explain the question. Although the question became relevant to me when I was age 8, I wouldn't want any child be exposed so young.

@ProgressNotPerfection I am. It's a lot better than it used to be 1 year ago, but still I'm slightly addicted to it.

@ProgressNotPerfection I don't think there's such thing as watching porn only once in a while. It produces dopamine so the brain wants more and more. Eventually, I'd find myself heavily addicted to it again. So I'm trying to quit once and for all. How about you?

What are you doing to try and quit?

I see. Those people probably have a healthy sexual life so porn is just a "supplement" for them. But who knows. I installed two pretty good website and keyword blocker extensions to my browser (I use Chrome). This way I can't even open porn sites or search for it. The apps are TinyFilter and BlockSite, you can find them in the Chrome Store. I wrote down my password to a piece of paper and placed it at the bottom of my drawer. Of course there are some loopholes and sometimes I lose control... so from now it's just the question of my discipline. So far, that's it.

Thanks sounds good. I need some blocks. Whats the longest time you gone without porn?

No problem. It's about 15 days for the past two years I think. Not much, sadly. But I'll break it.

You mean the AA's 12-step recovery? That's a good idea. Thanks.

I do a gratitude list in the morning too. It all helps.

You may notice a difference at the beginning but as time goes on they become powerful tools equal to exercise or meditation

I do a gratitude list in the evening too. It really eases me sometimes. Now I gotta try these 12 steps.

I’m a she not he

Saa is a fellowship of men and women

I'm doing great now. I only fell for porn 3 times since 13/08.
