i made the decision to stop watching it this year but after like a month and a half i started sliding back into the same shit again… but i am truly doing better, it went from pretty much watching it every night to only watching a video like once or twice a month and this helped a lot so thank you :)
Remeber that this is better than almost everyone else is doing, it's easy to lose sight of that after watching something again. Imagine if it was junk food and everyone would say you are doing amazing consuming it only once a month (in comparison to the average person). Progress, not Perfection.
Erm, I don't get it..? It's nothing bad with watching porn once in a while. I, personally, see it as personal hygiene - discharge once in a few days to not get dirty at one night. Why is it sounds so demonized both in video and in your comment?
@@thebesttheworst2277 Exactly, I have an app that tracks my progress and I reset it everytime I relapse. I thought I was doing horrible but when I looked at the graph and the amount of resets, it's a drastic improvement between what I used to be doing
I've been addicted for over 10 years now. I've finally had enough, I've relapsed too many times. I'm one week in and I am iritable and short tempered, but I know I need to keep going. I wish you all the best of luck.
Try exercising more brother. It really helps putting all those hormones into more beneficial use. Monks exercise a lot to control urges. Plus, if you keep at it long enough, I am sure you will get used to the feeling of being all clean inside. Porn is really junkfood for your brain. Junk food tastes good, but makes you feel awful later on. Eating healthy will not always taste as good, but surely it will make you feel a lot better inside.
I was more or less addicted to that over years and there was nothing. I then started to stop doing that and start to be better, be more focus on other activities so that I won't lose myself to p###ography.
Am trying to control myself but. It wont stop my brain always need it. Everytime am alone. Am 13 years old now and l start watch p when am 11 l made a big mistake in my life. Also keep up man l know you can do it.@ghostavinci104

I discovered content of this nature at a young age, which i would rather not elaborate on. I found it once, and thought i would never look at it ever again. But the next day, i found myself on it again. I saw a certain video, a very illegal one. I was extremely disturbed, and a couple days later I asked the teacher to go to the bathroom. I went to cry in a stall, trying to forget the disgusting and horrible content i witnessed.

Just remember that it may seem like you feel no other intense feeling of desire for anything more strongly then when you get the pangs for porn, but your desire to be porn-free is even greater. It just happens that the absence of pain from being porn-free is apparent after very long pursuit and introspection, whereas the tenfold presence of pleasure when succumbing to pangs is immediate. I hate that I know this and still constantly relapse. This primal drive just takes over my whole mind. It really sucks.
The two definitive biggest things that helped me were running in the morning, and deleting social media. I went a month sober doing these then relapsed. I then got discouraged, but I was able to use psychodrama therapy to help. Good luck y’all
I had a bad addiction, but then one day I got a bible and started to read it whenever I had the feeling I was going to do something irrational and it has truly helped, and from this I have felt better in every way and closer to god ❤
That's how I was able to quit pursuing religion is a good way to quit that stuff especially since religions especially Christianity do not allow you to do stuff like that
I'm a minor struggling with the same issue. I don't have many friends at school and I can't talk to anyone about it either. I really want to stop but every night I find myself doing it again. I want to stop and I want to spend my time on more productive things and I'm going to try super hard this time to not do it often. I'm going to set realistic goals but be strict about it at the same time. Thank you Psych2go for making this video. ❤
@@Psych2go that means even you have an idea what it was? I want to ask, were you ever addicted? Because your a knowledgeable youtuber, I just want to know if smart people ever fall in this game or not?
@@centurian-thedarkone6035 ofc they do... After all, at the end of the day, smart people are also people. Humans have carnal and lustful desires installed in their brains. It is not something you can just ignore.
To be honest the industry making the videos is like cigarette industry back in the day they tried to get kids hooked for more money that's why they have not added ID checking to make sure people are actually not minors
One day in. It felt so, incredibly good to check off that first day from my calendar. I’m gonna keep going. For my family, for my friends, for God, and for me.
I’ve stopped watching it since 2022, but I ended up accessing it once a month or so. Now I haven’t consumed it at all since November of last year. My plan is to keep it like this for the rest of this year.
You're very welcome! You are not alone and you will be surprised others are also struggling the same thing. This is why it's important for us to cover this topic. Please don't be afraid to seek out for help, it's very normal.
Ive been doing a good long time quitting this habit. It takes a lot and strength to anyone struggling with this❤ you've got this :) your health really feels a lot healthier without this addiction
@@Pbcvlyou can do the same my friend. Don’t let your self tell you that you can’t. We humans tend to negatively talk to ourself instead of praising ourself for trying to become better. I know it’s very hard for you to avoid this but keep praising and rewarding yourself whenever you do ANY positive achievements wether it’s big or small. Just keep trying no matter how impossible it is. Your a tough person and you definitely got this!!
Unironically what helped me overcome my porn addiction was just not watching it or engaging in it. Now granted I did have some help too. I blocked sites that gave me access to Hentai/Porn and other explicit videos/gifs/images and dropped sites that I don't want exposing me to it again (Reddit & Twitter) but what most likely helped me was just telling myself, "I'm not going to spank my shit". Word for Word. Simply not engaging with masturbation ended the cycle of being downbad and helped me regain control over my urges. Been clean since Jan 1st and been happier ever since.
Perhaps because there's nothing else that could make it harder for you to let go of it, like: - you likely have a partner you needed in life and left life with a parent behind - you likely moved out from your old location - your lifestyle is healthier and free from "idc as long as it passes time" - you have your own decision making with no legal attachment that could prevent it Which are things that I lack and as a result, the addiction lives on. Only fulfilling them can get me rid of addiction, so that there's no reason for it to come back 😔
“It’s not a just about abstaining from something, it’s about filling the void with something meaningful” great line. that makes a lot of sense. it’s like, sometimes when i’m indulging in stuff for the sole purpose of getting dopamine, i actually feel empty inside and it’s like i’m trying desperately to fill that void and feel like i’m having fun. and it’s also really cool that connecting with people is the opposite of addiction, because personally when i’m consuming content it kinda feels like it’s just a lot more potent for my brain if it’s created by someone i know
Thank you for making videos on this topic. I have been struggling since i was 13 years old and im almost 25. I joined a sex addiction 12 step and had almost 3 months of sobriety but relapsed recently and have been on a binge. Im gonna finish watching this right now and get back on the wagon. Thank you ❤
Even though I have never watched porn before, I feel like this topic needs to be covered more. There is a suprisingly high number of people who are addicted and want to be freed from their shackles.
I have quite a lot of discipline, not enough for this apparently. I can set up and execute strict schedules and diets/exercises. Why am I still failing against my addiction?
You do not need discipline to quit the addiction, many try to quit by using just their willpower and eventually fail. As a matter of fact, discipline will only make the addiction WORSE. You must deconstruct your false beliefs about p* and come to the conclusion that you DON'T want to watch anymore. That's how you quit. Look up the EasyPeasy Method if you want a real solution.
Gotta acknowledge that it’s a problem first and replace it with meaningful activities and hobbies, and find new offline connections in the process. I know it’s all easier said than done, but seek help if you can. Life is hard when you are enslaved by pixels on a screen, once you’re free from that, life’s challenges become more bearable to deal with.
Honestly, the aspect of community is the most important one on this list. I had an unhealthy relationship with one of my sexual kinks... but when I connected to a community who shared the same kink, I quickly learned from others that it isn't the fantasy that you should invest yourself in, but the possibility of sharing your desire/interest with another person. Other people, and especially partners, bring infinitely more fulfillment to your life, no matter how deep you think you've gone down a sexually deviant road
I'm a minor facing this problem....i was introuduced to this stuff when i was 10 or something. I still can't stop watching these things for some reason.. i have really good parents who really care for me and love me and i dont wanna let them down...so ill try the methods you suggested. Thank you !
You’re not letting them down. You’re only letting yourself down. Quit for yourself and your sanity. They don’t tell you this but a lot of mental issues (ADHD, anxiety, OCD) are worsened.
This is some really solid advice. I myself have taken the steps to reducing the habits that are most unhealthy for me and thankfully I'm already on a good track. This negative habit isn't nearly as difficult to break as let's say smoking would be. 😊
It has to start with the right mindset. If it comes from a place of deprivation, it will eventually lead to failure. They key is to question the urge. Stop for a minute and ask ourselves: Why do I want it so much? what will i get out of it? I'm not depriving myself of anything by not watching it. Depriving = Going against what we innately want by fighting it. It's much more effective to question the urge and let it pass naturally. A part of the journey is to rebuild our preferences. Find things we prefer more in environments outside cyberspace. The urge = That we want to do it. Questioning WHY we want to do it so much with a critical mind can help reduce that urge quickly.
Every day and night it’s a constant cycle of it and I cave into it every. Single. Time. And it’s affected my life so much. Every day I eat and eat with no limits and I’ve became obese and I just needed to break free from that one link that I got sent and I was just about to click on it but this single video popped up while trying to find it. Thank you for this video I was about to go back in but you helped me break free from the link. I deleted the link and I hope tomorrow I can have a good day at church knowing I stood up and broke free from the thing that always leads me to the sin of lust❤❤✝️
I wanna be honest, I'm mostly stressed. It's becoming way I'm coping, cause I can't really tell my problems to others I've been completely lonely and left to be forced to be independent.
Try Journaling ur thoughts or feelings it helps to get it off ur mind and heart, maybe yoga or speak to God like His ur friend knowing His listening and wants to help u and make u feel better ❤
I have written down on a secret place of a constant reminder to do a puzzle book whenever there is any sensation, I sincerely hope this works, and thanks for the video!
As I’ve been trying to quit for awhile, here’s some stuff that I’ve found: Works: Actively asking myself “do I really need to?” Weighing the pros and cons (Will this make me happy? Or will I have another crushing PNC and be sad?) Recognizing what made me want to do it in the first place. Doesn’t work: Going cold turkey. Trying to “compromise” with myself, as it just leads to the same thing. Building a habit of doing it.
Thank you! I grew up on a yime where we couldnt use phones to even do this. You had your imagination. Im glad that I have been able to let that addiction go. My dreams seem more vivid when I use my imagination more as well. And im more calm when I wake up.
We really appreicated your comment. It made our day! Thanks for your support for all the years. Are there any topics you'd like us to cover more on to support your further?
i did really like the topics of depression and what to do to get out if it if thats a good answer :), you guys are the best and i hope you can help more people with these video's every day!
it might sound kinda cheesy, but one thing I've found along my journey that helped a LOT was using quitting as a way to prepare myself for a potential romantic connection. I figured I didn't wanna look at anything NSFW unless it came from someone I had legitimate feelings for, or be with someone who didn't share that same mindset; I also wanted to make sure that whoever came around was gonna get to meet a better version of me than what I was before I started tryna take control over my vices. it kinda created a tangible end result I could keep my eyes on
it's like really hard to stop... but to be honest... this video motivated me to stop, like for real this time, not go 2/3 days not watching it then coming back again... yea so... i'll come back in one week for the update, thanks for this kick psych2go love ya
I got exposed to ph at a young age and this helps to overcome this disgusting habit and i'm learning how this actually helped and i'm oj the journey to stop this addiction
Absolutely do it. It shows you care about that person, even if you guys separate they’ll never forget you sending them that. Everything is an indicator of some sort
First! I think 😅 But, seriously, porn addiction can be a very hard thing to get rid of. But, you can stop it soon. Thanks, Psych2go, for every single video you guys make that give people hope in life 🥰
I really needed this, I was just about to get into bed and watch some. But then I got this notification and I'm going to try and stop my addiction to just once a month, or even never!
Guys the best tip is to somehow make yourself disgusted to it... Heres a toxic tip.... 1)make yourself stressed enough or occupied enough that u cant think about things like this 2)when u feel this way go talk to your friends and avoid talking about this topic or consuming content which triggers you...after a while it wont faze you anymore 3) instead of opening the website try shut down your phone and put it away...this personally helped me a lot And know that theres nothing wrong with you...and that u can do it I believe in u stranger 💫
i struggle with p0rn and selfharm but we arnt talking abt that, anyway i have a severe porn addiction becuase i was exposed to it as a young young child (like 4) i just started watching it and its been years i still cant get over it its so hard.
That's why I'm kinda glad that I'm a small time Twitch streamer because I know I need to keep the show going on stream so I just keep streaming my game until the urge goes away. It's my way of "Fortifying my defenses" and keeping my mind off of porn.
Great video for everyone's, because PORN is everywhere. Remember, recovery is a process, and it's essential to be patient and kind to yourself along the way. Stay committed to your goals and celebrate the progress you make, no matter how small.
I had a porn addiction for a while now but when I started doing this I actual started gaining the ideas I needed for the story of the porn i was writing! I was so happy the arc was finished and now its time to move on to the next writing project.
i’m late asf but dude getting to stop watching porn is fucking mission impossible. i started at 10 and still watching it almost every day atleast twice a day. i’ve been trying to stop for so long but it’s so tempting
This is a bit complicated matter to solve, as my porn addiction has more branches then a singular website and I even managed to sympathized with couple of people that either do said activity on minor occasions, or as "2nd layer content" (one which I'm frankly too broke or too busy to pay for). Including my ol' gal Rune 😔🖤 It's something that is easy to let go on paper, but if the additional factors are not dealt with (life style, quality of household, surrounding environment, country of living...), it will always come back as result of lack of progress / boredom

Porn addiction is such an issue. It's also so hard to quit, it's always available, always. Imagine trying to quit alcohol and always having a flask of Whiskey in your back pocket. It's legit ruined my life and being isolated and depressed makes it almost impossible to fight against.
Think the reason why I struggle so much with relapsing is because I feel so isolated with a fetish of mine. Connecting with others who share the same fetish as me has helped me feel like I’m not so alone with it, but I also think it’s caused me to relapse more often too because since I’m not experiencing it in real life, the next best thing is for me to watch videos of people engaging in what I’m into…
i made the decision to stop watching it this year but after like a month and a half i started sliding back into the same shit again… but i am truly doing better, it went from pretty much watching it every night to only watching a video like once or twice a month and this helped a lot so thank you :)

Tbh
💀
Haha..came...... ok i should watch this video cuz of that.
Me too
I had a bad addiction, but then one day I got a bible and started to read it whenever I had the feeling I was going to do something irrational and it has truly helped, and from this I have felt better in every way and closer to god ❤
I will apply this method, thank u❤
Thank you I have a feeling this will help ❤
Thank you
I will apply this, thank you but I'm worried I will get more darker emotion of guilt
That's how I was able to quit pursuing religion is a good way to quit that stuff especially since religions especially Christianity do not allow you to do stuff like that
I'm a minor struggling with the same issue. I don't have many friends at school and I can't talk to anyone about it either. I really want to stop but every night I find myself doing it again. I want to stop and I want to spend my time on more productive things and I'm going to try super hard this time to not do it often. I'm going to set realistic goals but be strict about it at the same time. Thank you Psych2go for making this video. ❤
How is it going now?
Yh bro how you been
I NEEDED THIS
Hope this video can help you or someone you know!
@@Psych2goi struggled with porn in the past, but with my medications it’s basically gone. But I feel tired 😪
@@Psych2go that means even you have an idea what it was?
I want to ask, were you ever addicted? Because your a knowledgeable youtuber, I just want to know if smart people ever fall in this game or not?
@@centurian-thedarkone6035 ofc they do... After all, at the end of the day, smart people are also people. Humans have carnal and lustful desires installed in their brains. It is not something you can just ignore.
@@dodonodens8802I also struggled, thank goodness it just turned into past now.. welp, i guess it’s considered as trauma for me. Anyways im coping.
i have had porn addiction since i was 8, i know, very young. thank you so much. this has helped so much. 💕
Me to bro
To be honest the industry making the videos is like cigarette industry back in the day they tried to get kids hooked for more money that's why they have not added ID checking to make sure people are actually not minors
Me too I started addicted when I was 12 ○|￣|_
Me to bro
Started at 12... 13 now and I'm tryna quit
One day in. It felt so, incredibly good to check off that first day from my calendar. I’m gonna keep going. For my family, for my friends, for God, and for me.
I’ve stopped watching it since 2022, but I ended up accessing it once a month or so. Now I haven’t consumed it at all since November of last year. My plan is to keep it like this for the rest of this year.
May God bless you bro❤
Thanks for this I have really struggled and it's quite embarrassing subject to bring up so really appreciate this video 💙
You're very welcome! You are not alone and you will be surprised others are also struggling the same thing. This is why it's important for us to cover this topic. Please don't be afraid to seek out for help, it's very normal.
@@Psych2go Thank you 💙
Ive been doing a good long time quitting this habit. It takes a lot and strength to anyone struggling with this❤ you've got this :) your health really feels a lot healthier without this addiction
depends how low you are. You don't seem to have fallen that deep
@@Pbcvlyou can do the same my friend. Don’t let your self tell you that you can’t. We humans tend to negatively talk to ourself instead of praising ourself for trying to become better. I know it’s very hard for you to avoid this but keep praising and rewarding yourself whenever you do ANY positive achievements wether it’s big or small. Just keep trying no matter how impossible it is. Your a tough person and you definitely got this!!
Unironically what helped me overcome my porn addiction was just not watching it or engaging in it. Now granted I did have some help too. I blocked sites that gave me access to Hentai/Porn and other explicit videos/gifs/images and dropped sites that I don't want exposing me to it again (Reddit & Twitter) but what most likely helped me was just telling myself, "I'm not going to spank my shit". Word for Word. Simply not engaging with masturbation ended the cycle of being downbad and helped me regain control over my urges.
Been clean since Jan 1st and been happier ever since.
Perhaps because there's nothing else that could make it harder for you to let go of it, like:
- you likely have a partner you needed in life and left life with a parent behind
- you likely moved out from your old location
- your lifestyle is healthier and free from "idc as long as it passes time"
- you have your own decision making with no legal attachment that could prevent it
Which are things that I lack and as a result, the addiction lives on. Only fulfilling them can get me rid of addiction, so that there's no reason for it to come back 😔
@@d3nny_s3mpaifirst of all, remove the anime profile pic..
“It’s not a just about abstaining from something, it’s about filling the void with something meaningful”
great line. that makes a lot of sense. it’s like, sometimes when i’m indulging in stuff for the sole purpose of getting dopamine, i actually feel empty inside and it’s like i’m trying desperately to fill that void and feel like i’m having fun.
and it’s also really cool that connecting with people is the opposite of addiction, because personally when i’m consuming content it kinda feels like it’s just a lot more potent for my brain if it’s created by someone i know
Thank you for making videos on this topic. I have been struggling since i was 13 years old and im almost 25. I joined a sex addiction 12 step and had almost 3 months of sobriety but relapsed recently and have been on a binge. Im gonna finish watching this right now and get back on the wagon. Thank you ❤
Say bro any advice for me bro? I’m in da same shoes rn, just looking for some help bro.
Even though I have never watched porn before, I feel like this topic needs to be covered more. There is a suprisingly high number of people who are addicted and want to be freed from their shackles.
For some individuals like me, simply getting rid off addiction will not fix all other issues that support the said addiction
Not to mention the poor kids growing up these days with this stuff being just a click away on their phones.
you never watched porn? for real? wow amazing. may I know how old are you? and how you managing it?
This womens voice is so calming and also thank you for helping me overcome my addiction I’m already in day 3 of quitting it
I've been free for about 5-6 days now. My longest was 3 months, but it happened without thinking.. and I hate it. This has helped a lot, thank you
Gosh
@@S-L-E-E-P-Y-J-E-J-JBIGGESTFAN is there a problem?
WOAH YOURE AMAZING MY FRIEND. I’m so proud of you :D
@@leeonravn3856 THANK YOUUU!!
I am 4 days clean. I was very close to doing it again but I was able to stop myself before it got out of hand. I’m personally proud of myself.
good man keep going ❤
That industry is evil.
Discipline is the most important thing to stop prn addiction.
I have quite a lot of discipline, not enough for this apparently. I can set up and execute strict schedules and diets/exercises. Why am I still failing against my addiction?
You do not need discipline to quit the addiction, many try to quit by using just their willpower and eventually fail. As a matter of fact, discipline will only make the addiction WORSE. You must deconstruct your false beliefs about p* and come to the conclusion that you DON'T want to watch anymore. That's how you quit. Look up the EasyPeasy Method if you want a real solution.
@@Happy_Nacho_Mysterysame point
I stopped it for a month and made and became disciplined I thought I won from my addiction but ... 😔
@@Happy_Nacho_Mysterybecause discipline isn't as important as this guy says it is. Have you tried reaching out to an expert?
Gotta acknowledge that it’s a problem first and replace it with meaningful activities and hobbies, and find new offline connections in the process. I know it’s all easier said than done, but seek help if you can. Life is hard when you are enslaved by pixels on a screen, once you’re free from that, life’s challenges become more bearable to deal with.
It is so hard man. It affected a relationship of mine and it is my main coping mechanism.I want to change and I want to be happy again
🙏May God bless this program and may it reached out and fully help those in the hard battle❤
Honestly, the aspect of community is the most important one on this list. I had an unhealthy relationship with one of my sexual kinks... but when I connected to a community who shared the same kink, I quickly learned from others that it isn't the fantasy that you should invest yourself in, but the possibility of sharing your desire/interest with another person. Other people, and especially partners, bring infinitely more fulfillment to your life, no matter how deep you think you've gone down a sexually deviant road
That background music is super chill though 😌
Wow u aploaded it on just the exact right time i don't have such issues but i will really help someone i know thanks ❤
I'm a minor facing this problem....i was introuduced to this stuff when i was 10 or something. I still can't stop watching these things for some reason.. i have really good parents who really care for me and love me and i dont wanna let them down...so ill try the methods you suggested. Thank you !
You’re not letting them down. You’re only letting yourself down. Quit for yourself and your sanity. They don’t tell you this but a lot of mental issues (ADHD, anxiety, OCD) are worsened.
I'm very young and i'm not going to say my age but...this video made me look back at my life, and rethink it
you don't have a penis
This is some really solid advice. I myself have taken the steps to reducing the habits that are most unhealthy for me and thankfully I'm already on a good track. This negative habit isn't nearly as difficult to break as let's say smoking would be. 😊
Quitting smoking was a blessing in contrast to this😂
It has to start with the right mindset. If it comes from a place of deprivation, it will eventually lead to failure. They key is to question the urge. Stop for a minute and ask ourselves: Why do I want it so much? what will i get out of it? I'm not depriving myself of anything by not watching it. Depriving = Going against what we innately want by fighting it. It's much more effective to question the urge and let it pass naturally. A part of the journey is to rebuild our preferences. Find things we prefer more in environments outside cyberspace. The urge = That we want to do it. Questioning WHY we want to do it so much with a critical mind can help reduce that urge quickly.
Just in time. Thank you
Hope this video can help you or someone you know!
Every day and night it’s a constant cycle of it and I cave into it every. Single. Time. And it’s affected my life so much. Every day I eat and eat with no limits and I’ve became obese and I just needed to break free from that one link that I got sent and I was just about to click on it but this single video popped up while trying to find it. Thank you for this video I was about to go back in but you helped me break free from the link. I deleted the link and I hope tomorrow I can have a good day at church knowing I stood up and broke free from the thing that always leads me to the sin of lust❤❤✝️
Man, this video is too real. Remember everyone, THERE'S MORE TO LIFE. Thank you Psych2Go!
Absolutely, it's important to remember that there's more to life than what we see on the surface.
Facts! Thank you for spreading the message and helping so many of us.@@Psych2go
Hey @@Psych2go. I'm just replying back to you guys to ask what the name of the background music is. I find it kinda relaxing and soothing.
I feel like that this will help many people with their current issue.
We really hope so! Thank you for your support!
I wanna be honest, I'm mostly stressed. It's becoming way I'm coping, cause I can't really tell my problems to others I've been completely lonely and left to be forced to be independent.
Don't give up, keep fighting this evil, this is the battle we're all struggling with
Try Journaling ur thoughts or feelings it helps to get it off ur mind and heart, maybe yoga or speak to God like His ur friend knowing His listening and wants to help u and make u feel better ❤
I have written down on a secret place of a constant reminder to do a puzzle book whenever there is any sensation, I sincerely hope this works, and thanks for the video!
ty for this video, i needed this.
Thank you for watching and I'm happy to hear it was what you needed.
You have almost 12 millions subscribers (congratulations for that) but only 43 thousand views in 23 hours ? You deserve more
TH-cam has been weird lately :(
As I’ve been trying to quit for awhile, here’s some stuff that I’ve found:
Works:
Actively asking myself “do I really need to?”
Weighing the pros and cons (Will this make me happy? Or will I have another crushing PNC and be sad?)
Recognizing what made me want to do it in the first place.
Doesn’t work:
Going cold turkey.
Trying to “compromise” with myself, as it just leads to the same thing.
Building a habit of doing it.
lowkey
Thank you! I grew up on a yime where we couldnt use phones to even do this. You had your imagination. Im glad that I have been able to let that addiction go. My dreams seem more vivid when I use my imagination more as well. And im more calm when I wake up.
hello, thabks for all the years of help you have given us i dont have this issue but thank you so much first comment for the first time too 😊
We really appreicated your comment. It made our day! Thanks for your support for all the years. Are there any topics you'd like us to cover more on to support your further?
i did really like the topics of depression and what to do to get out if it if thats a good answer :), you guys are the best and i hope you can help more people with these video's every day!
it might sound kinda cheesy, but one thing I've found along my journey that helped a LOT was using quitting as a way to prepare myself for a potential romantic connection. I figured I didn't wanna look at anything NSFW unless it came from someone I had legitimate feelings for, or be with someone who didn't share that same mindset; I also wanted to make sure that whoever came around was gonna get to meet a better version of me than what I was before I started tryna take control over my vices. it kinda created a tangible end result I could keep my eyes on
6 months clean. It is possible, dont give up
Don't give up. It's a lifelong battle!
Im 7 months clean now 🎉🎉
It's been 1 week or 5 days clean for me right now.
@KrainXPlayz kepp it up, it's a battle worth committing to!
@@livingindapm congratulations 🎊
I had a really severe porn addiction, but thanks to this video I was able to go 2 day free. Wooo!!!!
it's like really hard to stop... but to be honest... this video motivated me to stop, like for real this time, not go 2/3 days not watching it then coming back again...
yea so... i'll come back in one week for the update, thanks for this kick psych2go love ya
how was it
2 week passed ?

Thank you so much

I got exposed to ph at a young age and this helps to overcome this disgusting habit and i'm learning how this actually helped and i'm oj the journey to stop this addiction
So tempted to send this to someone I know who struggles with it but I don’t think I should
Absolutely do it. It shows you care about that person, even if you guys separate they’ll never forget you sending them that. Everything is an indicator of some sort
I wish somebody can pray for me to overcome this addiction
First! I think 😅
But, seriously, porn addiction can be a very hard thing to get rid of. But, you can stop it soon. Thanks, Psych2go, for every single video you guys make that give people hope in life 🥰
Never mind I’m not XD
I'm really glad her narration has picked up and isn't so soft and dull anymore !
Yay thank you for tbis vid!
Thanks for joining early! Hope this can help you or someone you know!
I got here because a lot of my friends in real life have corn addictions and I really want to help them
stop watching porn not hentai if your just been broken up or just cant find gf.. keep waiting.. you got this..
I had the addiction since i got my phone but this is helping me 😊😊😊
I really needed this, I was just about to get into bed and watch some. But then I got this notification and I'm going to try and stop my addiction to just once a month, or even never!
Guys the best tip is to somehow make yourself disgusted to it...
Heres a toxic tip....
1)make yourself stressed enough or occupied enough that u cant think about things like this
2)when u feel this way go talk to your friends and avoid talking about this topic or consuming content which triggers you...after a while it wont faze you anymore
3) instead of opening the website try shut down your phone and put it away...this personally helped me a lot
And know that theres nothing wrong with you...and that u can do it I believe in u stranger 💫
how long did it take you to stop
i struggle with p0rn and selfharm but we arnt talking abt that, anyway i have a severe porn addiction becuase i was exposed to it as a young young child (like 4) i just started watching it and its been years i still cant get over it its so hard.
That's why I'm kinda glad that I'm a small time Twitch streamer because I know I need to keep the show going on stream so I just keep streaming my game until the urge goes away. It's my way of "Fortifying my defenses" and keeping my mind off of porn.
Great video for everyone's, because PORN is everywhere.
Remember, recovery is a process, and it's essential to be patient and kind to yourself along the way. Stay committed to your goals and celebrate the progress you make, no matter how small.
The urge is so strong but am trying my best to keep away from it
Keep it up, stay strong, best of luck!
Thank you so much for this even though I don't watch adult content :p
Let’s get our minds right gang! We got this 💪
I had a porn addiction for a while now but when I started doing this I actual started gaining the ideas I needed for the story of the porn i was writing! I was so happy the arc was finished and now its time to move on to the next writing project.
I've tried reading porn, but most in my language are bland and cringe
i’m late asf but dude getting to stop watching porn is fucking mission impossible. i started at 10 and still watching it almost every day atleast twice a day. i’ve been trying to stop for so long but it’s so tempting
This is a bit complicated matter to solve, as my porn addiction has more branches then a singular website and I even managed to sympathized with couple of people that either do said activity on minor occasions, or as "2nd layer content" (one which I'm frankly too broke or too busy to pay for). Including my ol' gal Rune 😔🖤
It's something that is easy to let go on paper, but if the additional factors are not dealt with (life style, quality of household, surrounding environment, country of living...), it will always come back as result of lack of progress / boredom
Help me
This helps a lot if I try to do it again I well watch this video until I stop
Perfect timing
Hope this video can help you or someone you know!
@@Psych2go it did in fact help me a lot to overcome my addiction, thanks a lot
Identify Problems And Come Up Solutions/Defenses
1.) Being Alone Or Bored
Switching Bad Habits To Good
1: Sports (Physical Activity)
Socialize And Make Friends
(As A Extremely Quiet Introvert I See This As An Absolute Loss)
Track Your Progress
Set Real Achievable Goals And Challenge Yourself
The problem is it's too accessible. A drug addict still has to go buy the drugs, porn addiction is like having infinite crack in your pocket at all times.
I discovered this stuff at 4 years old i dipised it for like 9 years and then i got Addicted havent stopped since
I’m quitting, if someone likes I’ll get reminded to stay focused
Keep going man, I am going through the same thing and I know you can do it!
You got me when that calendar with november appeared
What if its late at night and you're trying to get some sleep and you get the urge? most of this doesn't apply in that area.
Then use your imagination
@@GrullaMustang16 easier said than done
Thanks for the motivation that won’t last more then an hour
I started watching more movies or just watching shows I really enjoy and slowly but surely ,I haven't for a while I'm finding it more and more easier to not want to open PH
Another helpful feature.
And narrated by the beautiful wonderful Amanda ❤ Can’t imagine how many people have been helped by her and this amazing team.

Please like this comment and let me remember about my comment
Porn addiction is such an issue. It's also so hard to quit, it's always available, always. Imagine trying to quit alcohol and always having a flask of Whiskey in your back pocket. It's legit ruined my life and being isolated and depressed makes it almost impossible to fight against.
Today is the day. The journey begins 10 may 2023
Like this comment to remember this
Hope it goes well brotha❤❤❤
FINALLY IM FREE FROM THIS ADDICTION!!!
The notifications I get concern me sometimes LMFAOOOO good video though and I appreciate it because uh yeah uhm yeah :3
It helps me a lot I am finding ways to quit porn addiction so I started jogging and I love jogging it helps me a lot to refresh my mind
Think the reason why I struggle so much with relapsing is because I feel so isolated with a fetish of mine. Connecting with others who share the same fetish as me has helped me feel like I’m not so alone with it, but I also think it’s caused me to relapse more often too because since I’m not experiencing it in real life, the next best thing is for me to watch videos of people engaging in what I’m into…
Same it is weird but in the NSFW I have found a community where I can be more genuine and the conections I made there have make the quitting harder
Thank you for sharing this. It's hard to express self discipline
