I need help with addictions.

[670]

Hey for the last days I've seen that in my personal Life I've started to get addicted with 2 things.

One of them is porn and I know it's a really serious addiction that unfortunately I can't control. I've started to watch porn everytime I wake up, go to sleep and during the day in different places.

The 2nd one is gambling. I've started to loose money everyday on gambling - from 30 upto 120$ a day I spend only on gambling. I thought Im not addicted to it but I'm really getting too much interests into this. Sometimes breaks before the next topups are less then hour. Even if I profit from it I always loose all and I always think that next round I'll win the bets.

I need your help guys like what shall I do to leave those addictions. Im an adult but If I gambled more I'd fuck myself up with negative balance and some other problems. Please give me your feedback what shall I do to stop it.

As for the porn: Sitting on your pc selling upgrades is probably not the best way to counter it considering this site is 90% porn. Not saying to stop what you're doing obviously but try going out more tbh I started playing pokemon go and it's really helped just clearing my mind as lame as it sounds. Try to find something like that.

For your gambling addiction: There's groups you could join to help, but since it's obviously an immediate problem you should maybe do something with your funds. If your only source of income is from here maybe if you have a business partner let him hang on to the funds or set up a duel bank account where he can see funds so you he knows what's going on and can put a hold on the funds. You can also hire a manager or financial advisor.

Not sure if any of this helped but I hope it did contact me if you need anything else my tg is @Sixnut good luck

There is no quick fix for self control unfortunately. It is a state of mind. I am going to assume you have very low self confidence because that is where addiction hits fast and effectively against those people. You should create a routine, a distraction. Working out and getting in shape is a very good way to break both fast. It makes you do a complete 180. Change diet, spend time at the gym and breaking a sweat, get stronger fitter and confidence will start to come back. Or you can channel it into something else. Working out and getting in shape is your best bet, it will boost mood levels, inspire confidence in yourself and give you less free time and be able to socialize with people at the gym. There is no quick fix to fixing an addiction or changing a mindset. Best of luck.

Struggled with porn addiction since i first discovered free porn sites when i was just a kid.

Internet can be a magnificent place but you can be absorbed very fast by its dark side. As every other addictions you have  more ways to quit it. Cold turkey or* gradually decreasing the amount of times you jerk off.

Since you jerk off at least 2 times daily maybe you can try jerking off just once for the first week. Pick a time of the day for you desired dopamine dose. Stick by it the first week. Then gradually try to leave one day off between them.

What about the other times used to shake the rose ? Well its probably because you are bored. Try do something else. If you wake up dont search for porn. I am not gonna tell you to watch some bs meditation or do an early workout. I am not gonna suggest to start a NO PMO right away either. Maybe read the news. Or if you just get horny sitting in the bed move your ass to the bathroom and start washing you teeth or take a shower. The thing is to try and find something that takes your mind off of it in the timeframe you usually had the pleasure time.

The urge will be insatiable the first few days. Also the first few days are the hardest to resist. Probably the first 3 4 days. Your balls are gonna hurt not gonna lie. But it then becomes easier after the first week. This is what personally helped me.

I think this also somehow applies to the gambling problem too. I never had this issue but i think there are other people is this forum that can give better advice than myself regarding this aspect.

Stay strong king!

You should turn to God, and look into Islam.

take antidepressants, they suppress sexual desires, and others too

I had to uninstall gambling apps, luckily I was poor enough to easily give it up
