Congrats on your progress

Whew, I can relate to this so much. I would essentially do the same thing and get lust hits by swiping from profile to profile and antasizing about the women when looking at their pics. I wouldnt even swipe right to engage or start dialouge… I was solely there for the pics, to read their bios and stories and then incorporate in my mind what our in person interactions would be like, their bodies and sex with them etc. I was bad off.

Dating apps don’t exist to help people find love, they exist to get you hooked so you spend the maximum amount of time on them so you can be exposed to more adverts. Same with social media. For a porn/sex addict it is really harmful cos we’re so susceptible to chasing that dopamine hit. Porn or not porn, it’s the same kind of “thrill of the chase” dopamine you get when browsing porn, searching for the “perfect” video…

You don’t have to have thoughtful insight or meaningful things to say every day, just keep adding the days up, keep making that good progress. You’ve got this. :+1:

You are exactly right and I would approach a simple dating site the same way I would an xxx one. My mindset was definitely twisted and chaotic

Day 11…………
