Good idea Josh! I am also in recovery from a porn addiction. Porn - like drugs - is a lie. It takes you to a place that isn’t real, with behaviours and feelings and events that aren’t realistic, and then - like drugs - it drops you back in reality. And the cycle repeats.
There’s a lot of good research into porn and sex addiction. Search up “Patrick Carnes” and you’ll find some of his research. There’s good talks by him on YouTube too.
Ultimately porn and sex addiction, like all addiction, is about escape. Overcoming porn and sex addiction is about learning about the addiction, and finding a recovery community where you can have connection and collaboration, being together in a community of people. That connection helps build positive momentum over time. Talking Sober is a wonderful community for that.
There’s a good collection of informative links here:
Take care Josh and welcome! Don’t be a stranger - reach out anytime.
