Relapsing *porn addiction*

I am a very strong believer of christ, and hav been trying for 9+ months to stop watching pornography for pleasure. I am getting so frustrated with myself because somehow I keep going back and back. I went TWO whole months with out relapsing, and I am just so disappointed in myself. I don’t know anyways to stop, or divert myself when getting the thoughts to watch. Any advice?? I am desperate.

I have always been scared to say anything on here, but I have to find a way to quit.

Just wanted to say, “Welcome.”

I’m a porn addict. And relapsed a lot. So I know how you’ve got to feel.

In my experience, I’ve focused way too much on outer behaviors, quitting porn and MB, and not enough on deeper rooted problems. Problems such as poor connection with others, toxic shame, brainwashing, etc.

There’s a lot of experience and friendship I’ve found in this community. But I would still recommend that you find a support group. SAA, SA, or SLAA for instance.

And also read Easy Peasy if you haven’t yet.
