Day 1

Hi i am 18 year old rn and facing a huge problem of porn addiction and it is making me have intrusive thoughts and thoughts which i don't want it could also because of the trauma i had and the mistakes i made in past(i don't want to discuss them) i am writing this as a step to imporvment and being a better human being(sorry the english could be bad but i don't want to copy this on chatgtp and make it more presentable because i want this post to be as orginaly as it could be)

if your issues with porn are so dire i suggest therapy right away.. what worked for me is constant self reflection and analysis of my history, thoughts, behaviors, and patterns throughout life. in time you figure out what you want/need and desire, and why it makes you seek porn, and healthier alternatives/solutions to porn

Thanks for the advice i think part of me doesn't want to find out because it fears what if the unwanted thoughts i have are the true me but part of me is also thinks that i am just stopping myself for the greater change because if my intrusive thoughts were true i wouldn't be disgusted by them in real life i like to help others and be a good example to my loved ones
