I’ve been catching up on my porn-addiction/sex-addict blogs over the past few days. All of them, ALL OF THEM, including my old posts, are the same thing.
• I’m in pain
• I’m trying to stop
• Something happened and I freaking DESERVE to use my porn
• I deserve happiness
I Call Bullshit
I say that because all these people are doing is trying to get away from the sex component.
SOMETHING is causing you (me) to behave this way. You’ve tried 12-step groups, you’ve tried using someone’s “system” off of a website. How’s that working for you?
How about this:
ADDRESS THE ISSUE!
For me it was childhood abuse.
What’s your problem?
What pain are you trying to escape from?
Chances are, if you’ve made it this far, you don’t NEED your coping mechanism anymore. It’s time to heal the wounds and move on.
In my case, I waited so long, my issues turned into full-blown mental illness- specifically Borderline Personality Disorder.
Please get to the root issue and stop dicking around.
Great post. Porn, like alcohol, paedophilia, drugs etc, they all refuse to take personal responsibility for their behaviour. It’s always somebody else’s fault
