"I am a recovering porn addict".

ROFL. The weakness of some people.

You sadistic bastard. The humane suggestion is "cut your balls off".

... trying.. real.. hard... not to laugh! Jaajajahahahahah :D!

(sorry, it just made me LOL when I read it)

Nice post, by the way. Valid for most addictions.

Yes, it was a weakness, but not anymore since I've conquered it. Turn yourself into a drunk, drug addict, or any addict in anything and then try to free yourself from it. See if you're strong enough to.

And if you've never been addicted to anything, then you're blessed in all the things that could've aided you in not becoming addicted to something be it family life, friends, etc.

And though I feel your scorn in your words, I would not wish you to become addicted to anything in your life.

If the op is not trolling than I sincerely apologize for my immaturity.
A serious suggestion. Take up running or work out a lot.
Also, since I love martial arts, maybe try that. It will give you self control and confidence, especially if it is a school big on philosophy and meditation. It has really helped with my ADHD.

Just keep watching it. You're not hurting anybody.

I once made a drinking game with 5 of my friends.we had to take a shot of vodka every time a plot hole or something very stupid happened.I was smashed in halfway through the film

What exactly are you calling an addiction here? There are after all many, in the US in particular, that would consider virtually any amount of pornography to be major problem.

What level are we talking about here? You might just be a voyeur or you might have a serious addiction, it really depends.

Enjoy gaming? Yes. Hobbyists? Yes. Addicted? Well, probably not. I think a fair few of us just substitute tv, books, films or even music with games.

Playing daily for 2-3 hours does bot seem addictive behaviour to me, since the time left for RL pursuits or people (or job) is plenty and you can have a well rounded life.

Now if I abused all of that and scrounged of the state whilst glued to my console/pc for hours and hours hours daily, then I could be seen as addictive. Yep, this example is extreme, but let's put it this way: if you feel that you enjoy life's different aspects and features, having no real reason to worry that you are abusing a much needed person(s), not feeling depressed or angry at yourself for neglecting necessary responsiblites, then I'd say you have a great hobby in gaming.


But addiction or level of addiction is a massively subjective issue. What I described above probably doesn't apply to anyone else on here. Like with every hobby, your own made balance is they key.

Sorry, mispoke. I wouldn't want anyone to become addicted to anything to any extent, except for gaming, lol. Though I know there are some with serious addiction problems with gaming from MMO's like WOW, where they play 12-18 hrs daily, it's very rare that I've met somebody like that.

Another poster said 2-3 hrs gaming a day isn't addiction and I agree. Just good gaming.

My advice would be to have some sort of blocking software installed on your computer. Personally, I live at home to save money on college, so I have K9 Blue Coat (a very good free blocker) set to block access to certain sites (youtube, image searches, etc). My parents have the password. Is it embarrassing as a 21-year-old to have to as mom or dad to let you onto, say, a file storage site because the program is blocking it? Heck yes. But to me it's worth it, since it helps me stay away from what I see as a life-destroying cancer. There's also software available that emails your internet history to someone of your choice, which might work if you live alone.

Also, don't underestimate the effects of exercise. I'm not sure scientifically why it helps, but I've found that it takes away a lot of the energy that might otherwise get put toward "having fun." Also, if you're a religious person, you'll find that many evangelical churches have some sort of sexual addiction support group which gives you people to talk to and support you. If you aren't religious, a good friend (or even wife/girlfriend, if they're forgiving and committed) can be just as good.

I dunno... those are just a few things that have helped me. Not sure if they're useful to you or not.

The very best blocking software comes from your mind.

If you think you have a problem, seize the day (like the old song) and control it.
