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've come a long way since I've started this journey but I can't break this current cycle I've been on. I went weeks/months without watching porn before "relapsing" in the past but the last few months I haven't been able to go a week without falling into old habits. The thoughts start and the next thing I know I have my phone in my hand. I've blocked everything on my computer and IPod but have been having trouble blocking stuff on my phone. Anyway, I can't seem to break the cycle. I don't know what else to do. I've tried so many things but even when I tell myself "you shouldn't do that" it just happens. Any advice please!!!
1. Get counseling. CSAT would be excellent, but if they're not available, then make due with what you got to start with.
2. Join a 12 step group like SAA, SA, SLAA for support. You will not be able to beat this alone, by your own simple willpower. That's not enough
3. Once at the meeting, look for a sponsor, to help hold you accountable.
4. Start removing the offending sources of temptation. Filters, blocks, apps on anything you use to access porn or whatever you're trying to avoid. Let your sponsor or accountability partner set the password.
5. Look to here as well as other websites for support. A good place to start might be yourbrainonporn.com Once there, read up on the 90 day reboot challenge. Take the challenge.
That should get you started, and do come back here to ask questions. Often. Best wishes!
I've found that I have better success when I try to keep myself occupied, I would try a new hobby, replace old habits with better ones.
when I absolutely overwhelmed with the temptation I pray to God and ask him to give me strength to resist the temptation and to remove it from me
