I can’t begain to count the amount of times I have tried to overcome my desire to watch porn. I believe that the most I have resisted this addiction is about one week. I think I even tricked myself into believing that if I use this app and just watch the days increase on my sobriety counter then that would be enough incentive to resist my phonograph addiction. But I broke last night after four days. And last night was the worst, have a sick son and did not even get up to give him his medication. So after reading about people reaching out and sharing , I how know that the real power in the app is not the sobriety counter but in the community. I just am rambling all this to say reaching out to the community it a real commitment to change ir at least I hope so
Lostcoin. Here I am with the same problem. 18 days sober. I offer myself to help and to connect.
I recommend you to listen the podcast pornfreeradio of Matt Dobschuetz.
Please Lostcoin don’t give up. Stay connected and don’t loose hope. God loves you so much brother
Don’t give up!! Have you tried meditation to clear your mind of your sexual thoughts ?
I found that sometimes it’s certain behaviours that lead to watching like reading novels and other forms of clean entertainment. Sometimes it’s just a desire but I think avoiding triggers will help you avoid temptations
This addiction, and that is what it is, is not figuring how how to stop watching pornography. That would be too easy. It is everything that leads up to you understanding WHY you are watching. I’ll explain. Pornography and compulsive masterbation is the end result of the addiction but. Likely long before that, whether it was earlier in the day or earlier in your lifetime you developed an “allergy” to lust. You didn’t just one day say “I think I am going to wake up and masterbate”. But I can bet dollars to donuts that leading up to it want some form of lust. This app in and of itself will likely not get you to stay sober. There are many S programs out there, some better than others for battling with this disease. Find one and go.
Avoiding triggers is a huge part. Also replacing the porn with something else that’ll totally get your mind off of it. For example watch cartoons like Tom n Jerry. Or things that are totally far from anything sexual… animal planet? Discovery channel? It’s not enough to stop the behavior,we have to replace it. I’m at over half a year and the past week has been the hardest.idk if it’s because I was under the weather or what,but I’m tryna hold on to my 8 months n not start over. God is able,He can help us
Thamks for the incourageing words,
Night is aproaching 
have to stay strong and make it through the first night.
My plan of attack
- No late night movie
- Read my bible
- Do lots of pushup
- Go to bed.
And I almost forgot place cellphone in another room.
Keep at it. The fight is worth it, and so are you.
I haven’t been on this app long, but when I first got sober, my online support in other apps was a big help. But, for me anyway, that online support was supplementary to my face-to-face help.
There are real people with real stories here, and that’s rad✊🏼 Still, in our using, we also use people, and we run a risk with virtual people that, if they are our only support, we may end up in an unreality, using people again.
Give real life help a serious, prolonged and persistent chance if you have not already!
You are worth. Admitting I had a problem and was powerless was my first step. Fellowship is a huge part of my program. So many help me stay strong.
Sounds like all good stuff. TV can be a real killer. Have a sober, sane evening.
