Sex / Pornography Addiction Support Group
Sexual addiction, also sometimes called sexual compulsion, is a form of psychological addiction to sexual intercourse and other sexual behavior.
I was doing so well! I thought that this was behind me for the last time! Now I feel as if I am back to square one and I will never be over this. FUCK!! I hate myself for this. It's just porn.... Why can't I shake this?!? FUCK!

I know exactly what you’re saying. I feel like it should be so easy to just tell myself I don’t want it anymore and it just go away. Unfortunately for us, it doesn’t work quite like that. Take baby steps cause after you get past the really hard part where you fall down over and over again it becomes natural to not be compelled to watch porn undesirably

Porn/sex addiction is the hardest one to kick. But, there is hope. What steps have you taken in your recovery?

I have just been stopping cold turkey...

cold turkey is the best way BUT you need a lot of support and tools. Attending therapy with a therapist that has knowledge of of sex addiction., attend a local SAA or SA meeting for support. Get a sponsor and start doing the steps. Find healthy outlets. Exercise, cooking, playing an instrument. Watch for your triggers. HALT ..Are you hungry? Angry? Lonely? Tired? Get rid of access if you need to. If its a lap top place it in your house in a room where other people can see. Not sure if you are married? You need blockers, and accountability.

I wish I could join a support group. But I am a health care professional in a very gossiping town. It would kill my career.

there are phone meetings you can call into for support

Most importantly, DONT STOP TRYING. The surest way to fail is to say fuck it and quit.
