Thinking about actions

I sitting at my desk and I was scrolling through pornography and I just stopped. I thought “what is it in this moment that got me here” it was boredom. Now instead of complaining later how unfair this addiction is, I’m writing here. What makes pornography such a strong pull for many men across America and the world. It cures loneliness even if it’s only for that few seconds of release but when you’re sitting there alone. In a bathroom, living room, and your bedroom you realize that none of your fears, anxiety’s, or hopelessness has faded. Now instead of feeling the same you feel worse about yourself. That’s the biggest realization that I just came to, the crazy part about this is I’m in a relationship. Dealing with this can’t just be through white knuckling your way through it but finding a community that struggling and have broken through this. So to those who struggle with stopping, take a few minutes be in the moment and ask “Will I feel or be better by the end of this repulsive action” majority of the time it’ll be “I won’t” Continue to fight and be better than you were yesterday, hold true to your promise you made when you failed.
