Hate to be gross, but Ill admit it. I am addicted to porn/sex chat and I have been for years.
I wonder if any of you have dealt with this issue, and if there is any way you can overcome it?
I have had this little addiction since late in high school, and it has lasted till now, about 9 years later.
How do I overcome this? I feel I need to since I feel it has made me miss out on social opprotunites, dampened my academic/life performance, and has just made me an overall sadder,unhappier person.
I have to admit it is likely a trainwreck on the brain, not too different from doing a line of cocaine daily?
I have some strategies
1. Do other hobbies such as reading,playing a musical instrument or something like that.
2. Become a serious gamer again. I stopped playing video games in a serious way sometime in high school just to "get with the program" academically. I did not bring my own game system to college because, clever me, I thought Games would isolate me. Well, turns out porn/sex chat became my new "serious game."
I think by playing video games, idk.. it just seems a fun, easy hobby with a quick reward.
Again, sorry for the grossness of the topic, but I am curious if any of you have struggled with anything similar, and how/if you overcame it.
