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.

      You’ve got to taper. I’ve had hangovers after multi-week benders that didn’t hurt as bad as trying to drop caffeine cold turkey. I know tapering is counter intuitive and counter productive for a lot of addictions, but for caffeine it’s a must.

        Yeah, that’s what I’m doing. It’s still annoying though when I’ve been doing it for weeks and I still feel like shit all the time and a cup of coffee instantly fixes it (until the buzz wears off).
