Mine is porn addiction. I don't ever want to become a coomer but I think I've became that already a few times in my life. I shamefully have watched porn, saved porn images and visualized people who're probably not as into porn as I was.

I really do wish to be done with porn, it's done nothing for me. I've masturbated for many years and I feel like it has hollowed out my mind. I don't even get that much enjoyment from masturbating as much and the porn hasn't really gotten any better so I guess I can say that I've seen porn when it was at its best when I was younger and everything.

Now all of it is just loli shit, artificial shit and that's gross or the fetishes have gotten too niche and unappealing. I look around me in porn communities and I haven't found anyone worthwhile to speak to or associate with. Everyone is six feet under in porn that there's no way for them out.

Weed. I kicked weed about 6 years ago and alcohol about 2, but relapsed recently and can’t seem to stop. It’s driving me insane, and my mental health is in the gutter. Hoping I can quit again before the new year.

My life got so much better kicking weed. I always knew it was bringing me down, but I never quite realized just how much. Add all the restrictions for jobs to it and it's just a cocktail for depression.

I've come to grips with, "it fits for some, not for me."

Yeah I came to terms with that years ago, unfortunately addiction is a crafty bitch. Congrats on you for kicking the habit 💪

Give yourself time to try again. Think about how long you smoked and drank before you quit the first time. I know you want to sprint to the finish line but you gotta stretch first.

If being hard on yourself worked, it would have worked by now. Besides, being hard on you is everyone else's job. They dont need the help.
