overcome addiction to pornography and masturbation

I’ve tried this program for several days and I like it a lot. They make very little reference to God, and focuses instead on real, practical, psychological techniques to interrupt distorted thinking and addictive behavior. I’ve tried religion based programs such as “every man’s battle” and they simply work for a short time. To quit, I believe one needs to fully understand the process of porn addicition and have a plan to interrupt the pattern. I will keep you updated. So far so good.

After repeatedly failing, with 3-4 week intervals, I am sick of it and will probably pay $500 for the Candeocan program. This is not a reglious program, so I am glad. I’ve tried religious programs and the problem is many times they don’t work for guys like me. I am a Christian but I don’t really subscribe to fundamentalism and the purely religious approach. I will try a combination of both religious motivation and psyschotherapy to see if the combination will help me overcome this weakness once and for all. I really want to move on to other goals in my life instead of being stuck in this one.

I was good for 4 weeks and I failed today. I had an opporutnity to view porn and old habits came back. I will start over again and better next time.

I failed, failed, failed. Another day, another try. Today is a new day, a new try after failing for 3 days straight.

Today is my first day, after failing for 2 days straight. I’ve started the Candeocan mini course, and hopefully I’be able to fight this addiction headon, instead of running away in fear. Simply refraining from porn actually makes it more pleasurable when I fail, usually weeks later. I think the key is to remove the association between pleasure and porn, so I won’t have the desire to view it. I am certain my efforts will be blessed by the lord Jesus.

I just failed again. This thing is really hard. Tomorrow will be my first day, after I put a filter con this computer.

I fell off the bandwagon on 9/29/08. The trial internet blocking software expired and I was too cheap to buy it-so my lust took advantage of the situation and I indulged myself on internet porn again. Seems like the longer you stay off, the more pleasure you gain in viewing it. I think the real solution is to take the pleasure away from viewing internet porn, and deeply imprint the harmful effects of porn into my brain-associate pain and suffering w/it instead of pleasure. I’ve quit smoking and other vices, but lust is by far the toughest. Well, here we go again. Another new day, another new start. I went out and bought the software, so hopefully this will keep me clean for awhile.

I feel really tempted to log on a porn video website at this moment. The thought of immediate access to perfect, beautiful women who will perform sexual acts in front of me excites me. I need help. This is my 8th day into my effort to eradicate porn from my life. So far, I am using a software at work to make it impossible for me to even view porn, but the desire does not go away. Please send me some words of enouragement.

I stopped for 4 days, after falling off the bandwagon after stopping for 8 weeks. It’s hard to stop it forever, because the longer I stop, the more pleasurable I find it. I guess that’s why so many Pastors also fall into this trap. I need to reprogram my mind to take the pleasure out of viewing it.
