when I was 11 I watched porn for the first time
I don’t have an addiction to cocaine, weed, alcohol
I had an addiction to porn for 10+ years of my life
some people don’t really get just how harmful it is to our brains (I didn’t either)
I find it to be the same as casinos & gambling
You want a quick dopamine release to create unrealistic expectations for your life
I finally quit a year ago when I started focusing on my mental health
It’s been a f*cking battle, tbh
I had plenty of relapses over the years but thankfully I got it under wraps last year & it has improved my relationship significantly
I was pretty uncomfortable talking about it but I feel like a lot of people are going through the same struggle I faced
These days I definitely have my moments where I’m bored on my phone & want to relapse
After about 3 months it gets a hell of a lot easier not to do it
Your will to want actual women & not watch porn increases drastically
It’s power men & you watching other people having sex in front of you isn’t helping you in any way
Your brain learns based on the synapses it receives
If something feels extremely rewarding it’ll keep doing it
Example is Heroin
If you do Heroin for the first time I’ve heard you feel wonderful
Then you keep doing it over & over chasing that first high and ruin your life
I’ve seen countless crypto bros make it & get hooked on cocaine which later ruined their lives
If you can find your weakness & addictions you can begin to hone in and try to destroy them
Mental health is worth more than any money you might make in the crypto space I promise
So yeah, if you’ve been feeling the same way I’ve felt since I was a kid you’re not alone
If you have kids & you find them watching porn because they’re curious
I don’t think the approach of letting them watch as much porn as they want is helpful in any way
It’s a real addiction & a child’s brain is not wired to handle these sorts of addictions
Your frontal lobe fully develops after you hit 25
Treat it like you would alcohol or any other major drug profile (cocaine, etc.)
Sugar & Porn are the silent killers of our generation
You got this. One day at a time.
@raidenkrn Alt? Im flattered. Unfortunately, I dont clout chase, so this is me in my main character moment. I wish you the most success on your journey. However, I did need to mention that your content has fallen off. If that upsets you, maybe refocus?
