porn addiction recovery
hey guys, so i was thinking of like gathering a small group of people who are struggling with the same (myself included) and like hold each other accountible, if that makes sense? as of now i only understand porn addiction, tbh so this might be a little bit of a narrow spectrum. but if you're interested please reply to this post so that i can tag you in the next one!
it'll be on 7cups only, dont worry. and i dont have any leadership roles or anything, so this is nothing official, just another addict trying to recover basically. and yeah, just a group of friends motivating each other, i think. so if you find this post and know more people, then do let them know about this!!
the basic idea i have for this is - there will be two separate posts. first post will be for everyday logging (or at least as often as you find the time) so you reply once, with 'day 1 successful' or something and then reply to yourself to add the following days (we cant have sperate replies every single time cause that'll push the newer replies to the back / onto the next page) if you break the chain, you can simply say 'today was hard and ill be back on track tomorrow' or something? so this post will be like a very strict logbook kinda deal.
the second post will be for normal and casual chatting and specifically for when the urges hit. you can just log in and post something about the urges perhaps and if anyone's online they could keep you company for a bit to help you with them (this works cause any post with a reply will pop up to the top of the community page so you need to check it whenever it's there in case someone needs company) you can also share your struggles in one place, let people know how / why this became a problem and about all the measures you've taken for it, something like that, so it's more in one place and has more accessibility, basically.
that's all i've got for now, if anyone's interested, please do let me know!!

loved your idea… and I want to be honest now.
I’ve been addicted to porn for the past five years. I keep *** and no matter how hard I try I can’t control myself. Every time I promise God I’ll stop I fail again. I beg… I really beg for help but nothing changes.
Because of this I’ve started hating myself.
This habit has slowly destroyed me. It ruined the person I used to be.
I was once confident, passionate fearless. I never accepted defeat. I truly believed I could achieve anything in this world. I felt powerful inside alive.
Now… I feel empty.
I don’t feel that fire anymore. I don’t feel strong. I don’t even feel like myself. I’m scared of things that never scared me before. I doubt myself in everything. I wake up demotivated and fall asleep disappointed in myself.
Sometimes I look at my life and feel like it’s all become a joke.
All of this happened because I couldn’t control myself.
That thought hurts the most.
I’m exhausted from fighting myself every day. I’m tired of feeling weak, guilty, and broken. I just want that spark back the version of me who believed in himself, who felt alive, who wasn’t ashamed of his own reflection.
I don’t want to live like this anymore.
Please… someone help me.
