So yeah, I've been trying to beat it for a while now(With God's help), and I'm still having problems getting over the 2 weeks with out it on average. So I'm wondering what guys are did to beat it.
 
Im still trying to figure out how to beat my addiction to this website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Love. When I was in high school I fell in love with a girl who very much shaped how I see the world and what I value in life. If I couldn't imagine doing something with her in the room, then I couldn't imagine doing it at all.

It is because I have known what it is to be loved and to be in love, that anything less and anything else is pointless to me.

At the end of the day its not real. It gets you nowhere and gives you nothing back. Its just a figment of your imagination inspired to lie to itself.

Accountabilty partner. You won't ever win on your own.
Also if its over the internet I reccomend covenant eyes. It will report everything you view to your partner.
Also there is a sixty day course called the way of purity that is free on a website called setting captives free.
 
Would it be helpful to know that most christian ladies would not want to spend time with you if they knew you were hooked on porn? If you look at some of the other threads, you can see the damage it does to relationships. Many women have enough body image issues of their own without thinking that you expect them to look like a porn star.

I've seen a lot of threads on here by the same guys asking why they can't get a girlfriend and then talking about porn addiction. Connection maybe???

It may be helpful but like most addictions you don't care how it affects others. Until you hate it the way God hates you will be captive. Try looking up verses on what God says about lust and sexual immorality and ask him to help you hate that sin.

And when I said you. I mean the orginal poster not julliana.

Would it be easy to find on my own computer once I get the program. I really don't want to my dad to find out.

Actually, that's one of the main reasons I've been trying to quit.

Any internet filter accountability software is going to start on the computer startup.

I thought it might be, that's why I said what I did. I've seen your posts and wanted to let you know how important one thing is to the other. I'll be praying for you. :)
 
The reason pron is so hard to beat is because it caters to the strongest biological urge known to mankind, and satisfying that urge releases more feel-good chemicals in your brain than the strongest narcotic drug.

Oh, and also because its free and easy to access on the internet, but so is scripture and bible teachings and I don't know anyone addicted to those.

Exactly. Get unplugged from the net. Drastic measures are needed here. Break free!

Thats wonderful! Thank you for sharing your story. I know it takes a lot of courage to share a story like that, but its great to hear about how you were successfully delivered from your bonds. God bless you.
 
Will getting rid of my loneliness help me out a lot to stop watching porn?
I'm not talking about the when I get a girlfriend type of thing, but attacking the loneliness at it's roots.

I don't think you watch porn because you're lonely it's the act of self gratification and it's a natural thing but it's all about self control and discipline, every person gets turned on and attracted by other people but you just have to have more self control.

If you are lonely then only you can change that, go and meet some people try new things if nothing else it'll get you out the house. :)
 
I think we're all addicted to sin. We're just not all addicted to the same ones. The only tried and true method that has ever worked for me to overcome anything is to seek God first. Not just say it, but really put effort into praying a lot, reading the Bible more, etc. The closer we get to God the more we hate sin. The more we want to keep His commands, etc.
Rather than try to fight off the sin and dwelling on it and beating yourself up over it, just seek God harder. The rest will fall into place. Don't expect instant results, but I promise you will see them if you truly put the effort into this. Every step you need to take to overcome it will be revealed through that.

I've also learned to never say "Oh I'm over this or that problem". Pride comes before a fall.

This is true. Scientists did a study on mice that showed that when they had the option of choosing to get a "hit" of the chemicals released during sexual intercourse (through a chemical mixture in their water supply) they actually preferred it over food. They literally starved themselves to death for "love." It was revealing to me because it can be a physical/chemical addiction, apparently.

For myself, the most powerful addiction I had in my life was only overcome through prayer. I asked God to at least give me the desire to want to change because in the place where I started from I didn't even WANT to quit.

Dot, you at least have that going for you already: the desire to want to change. :) God can work with even a spark. Matthew 17:20 He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
