My journey
I’m gonna try to post here if not every other day or so, kinda as a daily journal and a way to get away from my past. I feel like if I get words down and out of my head, I can start to properly heal and recover from this addiction. And hopefully I can inspire someone else too. I did have a bit of mental temptation today, laptop was open, my partner asleep, my brain was trying to tell me, “hey you remember that thing you wanted to look up before, now is your chance!” “Ooh what about that video you watched a long time ago? You could find it and watch it now”, but I decided to not give in and make myself busy. I never understood why I got so addicted, I’ve seen videos on the science of pornography addiction and how it provided serration and whatever. I’m getting better with everyday and encourage all of you all to get stronger and beat this!!
Hello @HoagieWap21 , welcome to 7 cups, writing things, letting out our thoughts and feelings could be really helpful, while not bottling them inside and affecting you .
You managed to resist through the urges, that is such a big step forward , and are also willing to inspire and support others who might ne in a similar situation, so very commendable and I for one , feel very proud of your progress.
Overcoming addiction is certainly a journey in itself , the fact that you're willing to try and take steps in the path each day, is enough and greatly appreciated ! Keep going, one day a time ! You really do got this ❤
Thank you for sharing this, I was about to fall into it but I read what you said and it helped. Thank you so much.
