    This is the singlemost important video I've ever seen about porn addiction.
    It's a HUGE loss! Porn has been the most soothing thing in my life. It has been the most important "relationship" I've ever had. It has been vastly more supportive of my emotional well-being than family ever has. All the shame, sadness, depression, anxiety it has gotten me through is considerable. But, I can't live any sort of a fulfilling life whatsoever with porn in it. I'm ready to grieve the loss of it. Porn is fire, it burns everything and everyone it touches.
    Goodbye porn.

    When I was a few months without porn and masturbation, I thought to myself, I don't need to grieve this self-harmful practice, but after a few more months, I recalled my memory of a time I had a relationship with such contents, and finally I understood that grieving is part of the process of saying goodbye for good. My oxytocin and dopamine is reserved for my true love, which is reading, meditation, and a multitude of sports. My advice is to quit sooner rather than later. It's harder since your libido is stronger when younger, but don't give up and keep problem solving it out until you're back to your true self, which is wild and free.

    Today I had a relapse. This is supposed to be my 15th day of no porn. But my oh my, the feeling of wanting to watch porn is so strong it’s so hard to resist I fell into watching again. But the result is still the same. High dopamine but more grief after. I wish I could be free in this struggle. Thank you dr. trish for all the help youre putting into your videos. Great help for me to get up again

    My husband was addicted to porn. It turned on him. He's very high strung. He immediately came down with e.d. Turns him into a so & so too! This last relapse was extreme. He can't get aroused from porn. Karma is definitely 💯a b***h. Then I found you. He's a subscriber too. Thanks for all you do.

    Dr Trish, this is a brilliant video!! This is like your basic course all in one video. Dr. do you mean exclusively the grief of leaving porn or grieving the loss of a loved one? I lost my Mom in February and I have had more relapses since then, than last year. I seem to care less about the damage I'm doing to my brain.

    This was a very good video, I’ve noticed myself when I decide to quit my anxiety goes crazy, I start worrying a lot, almost like a panic attack! But I say to myself, that’s porn trying to bring me back. It’s really bad but depending on your past, porn can attach it self to your trauma or your fears, creating ideas in your mind making you so tense you’ll relapse without even understanding! For some strange reason I think God put me thru this journey to help millions! I’ve been thru almost every phase with porn! I’m not going to Cap and say I’ve been on a 90 days semen retention no fap streak! I did one day and today called up this Dominican Chick and went crazy! But I didn’t watch porn for 2 days! But this video spoke to me

      When you become addicted, your coping skills go in the toilet. If you can relearn to cope & make your coping skills stronger than ever, you can handle anxiety much better.
      Porn eats your life. It ruins your relationships with family, friends, & partner. Good luck!

    You will literally never see someone who has had satisfying relationships, complaining that porn has caused all their problems in life
    But what you could see is someone who have not had satisfactory relationships and therefore affirm that porn is just fantasy and that it is not real, that it affects behaviors and all the imaginary evils that do not have to do with it
    It's simple really

    Hi Dr. Trish, please reply. I've been off porn and masturbation for one month while I'm on my 90 day journey. I think the most frustrating part of all of this is that I've lost my creative energy; I find it really hard to come up with new original ideas and I also find it hard to learn and remember things. Will I have to wait a little longer before I can see results or will this be a permanent scar as a result of my mistakes?😔 Please respond

    1 week of no porn and masturbation. I have tried quitting porn and masturbation multiple times and have failed miserably. This time the 1st week has been a lot easier and i think that's because I've eliminated all forms of trigger, and deactivated all social media. I have also filled up my free time with reading and exercise so yeah that has helped as well.

  • @TheBigDynamo
    @TheBigDynamo 2 года назад +1

    I've been able to go without PMO for about 2 weeks before a relapse. I would say there's improvement in myself but I get doubts if I'm going this correctly.
    I had a relapse just now that included all PMO because of a trigger I had that had an effect on me more than I thought it would. I have three questions for this:
    1. What's the best thing to do when you're in the moment of an intense trigger that sets off your urges, dopamime, temptation, and everything that's telling you to give in as long as its there?
    Most times when I get an urge that hits home is when I'm alone or at night, which I would say are the most vulnerable times.
    2. Porn is a lot easier to quit than masturbation. Is it really the best way to try and abstain for 30 days or perhaps scheduling times to do it? For those that may not get that far, should they pace themselves with smaller benchmarks? (Once a week, once a month, etc)
    3. Intrusive/Non intrusive sexual thoughts. A few times you've mentioned OCD on this channel and it's a heavy contributing factor to obsessive thoughts that just will not go away no matter what you do. Have you ever talked about this and what to do about it?
    Thanks.

    My biggest demon isn't emotions or sadness- its utter hopeless boredom. I am so bored I'll take naps to 'speed up' voids of time (crazy! Like rushing to the end of my life). Today I was so bored I put animated nose glasses with eyebrows onto my cats picture and gave him a cigar and whiskey flask with a top hat. No porn and fantasy creates this PAINFUL empty hopeless never-ending void - Many things in life disinterest me. I have no idea what to do- what's even more baffling is in order to connect to people you have to talk about your day and what you are up to. Weekend plans. Like calendar oriented questions without any intention to actually make an 'appointment' with me. Small chat about how I keep my life busy- you gotta be kidding me right? Like if I had a life I wouldn't be talking to you on tinder. I wish someone would just swing by pick me up to just go on a no strings attached cruise and just be in good company. NO ONE DOES THIS ANYMORE. I wanna punch other people who hide behind their phone and ask you about your day. It literally infuriates me. The question is as fickle to me as a job interviewer asking why I want to work here. And if it isn't fickle questions about my calendar- its people trying to hookup with me (I am an attractive guy)- activating the sex addiction cycle all over again (like if this is all people want me for here we go mentality). Yet I don't hookup with those people I ignore them then go back into fantasy lol. I am sick of these useless guys as much I am sick of the void in my life!

The effects on addicts is so damaging, also damages anyone who loves them. It destroys lives. Porn addicts waste their libido, all their relationships, their very lives on this trash.

    Trish, forgive me if I cut you off again. I think you could do the job. I have not watched the video yet, I think it was of you and your beautiful boy graduating, I think it was. But, it makes me cringe thinking of what I may see between a mother and a son ( who obviously sees his Mom talking about masturbation, and may even be part of the "heal the masturbation problem of the world" mentality, but just doesn't bring it up. I don't bring it up with my Mom, she's not interested. She says so. But you got to admit, wanting to cure men (and your son is a man) of masturbation, is some kind of sexual interest. I don't doubt your son sees and knows exactly what it is. Anyway, despite all that, I still think you could do the job Trish. Mom, hopefully has a ways to go, but I've got to think of who I'm going to turn to. You know, lost in this "word salad", I always thought there was a lot about me. I'm going to need that from someone one day. John.
