4 Years of Struggle: My Journey with Porn Addiction

Hello everyone! I want to share my journey over the past four years. I started working on my recovery, but I still struggle with porn addiction. I know I have made some progress, but my main goal is to quit for good. I want to share my thoughts on why this has been so hard.

The Long Road

Four years is a long time to fight this battle. I often feel like I am stuck in the same place. I have had some success, but I still haven’t reached my goal of quitting completely. I realized that I have not been fully honest with myself about what I want. I kept telling myself that I could only take breaks and not quit for good.

The Inner Battle

Deep down, I often thought, “You can’t quit for good.” I believed I could only stop for a month or two before returning to porn. This idea was damaging. It made me weaker and less focused on my goals. Instead of aiming to quit, I shifted my focus to just reducing my use. This was not enough. Porn is highly addictive, and cutting back never worked for me.

A New Perspective

Today, I had a breakthrough. I realized I need to be honest with myself. I truly believe I can do better. I can achieve my goal of quitting for good. Being honest about my intentions is key to my success. I want to focus on my life and my goals instead of letting porn consume me.

Moving Forward

If you are on a similar journey, remember to be honest with yourself. Set clear goals. Understand that it is okay to have setbacks. What matters is your commitment to change. You are not alone in this fight. Together, we can support each other and work towards a healthier life.

Thank you for reading my thoughts. I hope sharing my experience helps someone else.
