overcome addiction to pornography and masturbation

Starting today. Don’t have a huge problem that it interferes with my life, but I absolutely do not have control over porn. Same with masturbation.

from today i am taking control over it, i from today is going to sublime all my energies in studies…... i am going to control my thoyghts through concenteration amd meditation

can’t seem to stop

Today is my first day. Pornography and masturbation deliver a shot of dopamine to the brain, so it will take a while before I stop feeling like I need it. I’ve already been off pornography for about a week, but today will be my first day without masturbation.

So glad to come across this and want to work harder than I ever have to end this once and for all. The rest of my life begins today.

Well, I’m certainly not proud of it, but I’ve had a pornography addiction for the past 3 years now… shortly after I got married. I absolutely hate it. I feel guilty all of the time and try to quit, I block myself out of sites and set up filtering systems, but inevitably find a way around them a week later. This cycle has just got to stop, unfortunately i am too embarassed to ask for help from anyone.

Didnt know there was something like this. Good idea.
Well my regular habbit is masturbating once a week. I could reduce the once a day to once a week, so im going for two weeks goal, until i can make it a regular habbit to do it once for 14 days….
I lost control today, so bad…

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.
