Porn addiction

 I have gone 12 days without acting out my porn addiction! It hasn't been easy at all as I have had some tough times especially around money concerns which have caused me to really stress out. Now that I become clearer, I have come to realise that the porn addiction helped me to release the tension in my body and was a good coping  strategy at the time. although acting out didn't help to confront the problem during these times. Now I am making choices that help me to both confront the issue facing me which doesn't always work and doing what I need to do. This helping me to get the results, a lot of the time, that I'm desiring. So instead getting stressed and then going into addiction I now sit with my feeling of being overwhelmed and allow the it wash over me first. Then I make a choice that serves me best. I don't always get it right but I don't act out either and this helps me feel much better about myself too.

Fireheart, I really wanted to affirm you for the realisations you've come to. Be it porn, ciggerettes, alcohol (which was my fave) we all use these addiction to distract ourselves from stuff we should be doing for us.

It's fantastic that you are making healthier choices for yourself, because you are worth that. It takes some people a lifetime to get that, but you've got it already. That is huge, simply huge.

When you are feeling overwhelmed, or upset, you may find that it helps to write it down. Be it tears or anger, get it out - write it down, say it out loud, tell a friend who won't judge and will just listen, punch pillows, do whatever you have to do to acknowledge the feelings and get them out of you. Don't sit and well in them. Acknowledge them, and affirm you'll do the best to continue to make healthy choices for yourself. You're going great, well done.
