I have had a history of pornography addiction as young teenager. Now as an adult, I have developed sexual addiction to masturbation. I am devastated because of it.
My withdrawal symptoms:
cravings
insomnia
heart palpitations
restlessness
concentration problems
I am trying my best to quit, this is really horrible.
Welcome to the forum. I personally don’t have any experience with masturbation addiction, but there are plenty others here who do. If you tap the magnifying glass, you can find a lot of knowledge to fight this addiction
Welcome @Vicegerent - you’re in the right place. There are many of us here who struggle with similar behavioural addictions. I’ve added you to the private thread for men struggling with this - you’ll find many fellows there - and you should also take a look through some of what Neal posted here (personally for me I found joining a group in my city made a big difference):
There is also a weekly session at InTheRooms about sexuality, intimacy, and addictions:
Keep checking in and really push for sobriety - and you will find it.
