How do I overcome my addiction to internet porn?!


Question: How do I overcome my addiction to internet porn!?
I have been using porn for many years now!. I have such a problem that it is hard to remember a time before I started using!. I started with magazines, then I went to pics on the Internet, then to videos, then recently the problem has gotten worse and I actually paid for subscriptions to porn websites!. I have spent nearly $250 on porn in the last month!. I really need help!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know how to stop!. I've tried to stop before but I end up failing within a month!. I have a laptop for school and so I have easy access (I cannot do schoolwork with out) (I can't install website blockers either)!. I'm looking at porn almost every night for at least 2-3 hrs, even more on weekends!. I do well in school but recently I have been choosing to look at porn instead of do homework!. I just cannot stop looking at porn!. If I'm not looking at porn, I'm thinking about what I am going to look at later!. PLEASE OFFER ME SOME ADVICE!. I REALLY NEED HELP!!!! DONT COMMENT IF YOUR NOT GOING TO HELP!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Addiction is not a joke, and I have actually counseled some people that had your disease!. I am an addictions counselor, and all addictions are hard to break, because they are just that addictions!. It sounds like you are at the point where you need professional help, like seeing a therapist, or going to group therapy sessions!. I dont know how old you are, im assuming if you have 250 to spend in a month on porn then your an adult, so I would try finding a therapist, one preferrably that specializes in addictions, and get the individual therapy and ask about group therapy or 12 step meetings in your area!. They have meetings for sex addicts, that are just like alcoholics anonomous, and they are people with your same problem sitting around and talking about it!. You have to realize that it is an addiction, and the first step in knowing that is realizing that you are powerless over it and that it makes your life unmanageable, once you realize that then you can move forward!. This is effecting your school work, your money, everything, so it has to be something that you stop all together!. Its just like a drug, you have to stop altpgether, because if you do it just once then that wont be enough and before you know it you will be looking at it everyday again!. I think the best thing for you is to talk to someone, and get some serious therapy r your life will keep spiraling out of control!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

**** i dont know but maybe start playing some sports and get out of the house cause that way you wont be in the house!.!.!.try playing the dating game if you want or just get out there and start taking up some new hobbies like working on classic cars or restoring an old car or something like that!.

Yeah its really tough!.!.!.when you know you can easily watch porn whenever you want to!.

Dude you can watch porn, its healthy, just don't make it interfere with your school work!. set aside time for porn!. its all good just dont watch porn all day everyday!.!.!.!.now thats porn addiction!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

OK!!!! Go see a psychiatrist and state your problem!. Also, start a hobby like swimming or something, try not to be on your computer unless you absolutely have to!. Get into a relationship or just get yourself busy so you don't have enough time to watch porn!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to get your morals right!. Put your mind in the right place simply stop going on the sights!. And if you cant do that i would recomend you stop useing your computer or only use it when people are around!. and if you cant do it i would recomend sexalolichanonomisWww@Answer-Health@Com

1!. get a girl
2!. keep laptop in public area if possible, if u know someone may see what ur doing, itll be easier to not do it!. (if u lock urself in ur room with laptop, its easier to look at porn lol)
3!.work out!.!.!.a lot!. seriously if ur very sore u might not thnk about porn/masturbation as much!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Replace it with another, more constructive addiction!. Something competitive is usually good!. For example, I like to enter photoshop contests on http://www!.worth1000!.comWww@Answer-Health@Com

Get rid of your computer right now!. Call your cable Company and have it disconnected!.

Wow that's tough!. I'm sure that can be hard to get out of, like any addiction!. Just a little taste is all it takes!. Just like your body will crave things it may not need, your mind will crave things it doesn't need, things that can do harm!. It's not easy to stop any addiction!. Get help!. Get friends you can be accountable to and get honest with yourself!. Porn addiction ruins people, relationships, families!. It causes so much pain for such temporary pleasure!. Most people make light of it, but when you have values and morals, it's a dangerous thing!.
You'll find you will be happier and more successful in life if you can take your focus off of it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Even if you're not religious, you can probably find a religious group that focuses on this kind of problem!. Google porn addiction support group and your zip code and you might be able to find something!. Addiction is addiction - yours happens to be porn, and you need addiction counseling!. Even going to and AA or NA group would probably help!. Don't stress about the comments about morals and replacing your habits!. Any addiction can be as hard to kick as heroin!. Just admit that you need some help and find some!. Exercise will help you with the sexual frustration, but I imagine it's more of a behavioral addiction than a need to masturbate!.

Stay away from the computer LOL

It may be hard to give it up completely so I would suggest you to limit yourself!. It's all about self control and self motivation!. Make a schedule like maybe 2-3 hours of watching it every week or sumting like that!.

Make a list of your goals!. I'm pretty sure there's a lot of things that you wanna do apart from thinking or watching porn!. For example you might wanna spend this night studying, or chatting with friends or go out!. The point is occupy yourself with something else !.!.!. And STICK WITH THE PLAN!.After a while you may realise that there are other important things apart from wasting your time on porn!.

How much is your allowance each week!? You might wanna put the extras in the piggy bank or ur savings account and plan to spend it on something else more useful!. For instance you might wanna save up for a new ipod, or computer games or a car or sumting else more expensive!.

I hope this all helps!.!.!. =) and good luck Www@Answer-Health@Com

12 step program!. or the second you look at porn, jerk it so you are not horny anymore!? But I don't think it works that way for guys my husband always says!. Sorry though this is really a sucky addiction becuase of the cost!. If you were not spending money then I would say no big deal!. Try having your credit company put a block on any expensise that are for internet porn!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
