Root cause

Hey folks,

So ive been trying work on myself the past few months. I self sabotaged another potentially great relationship because of shame and fear. I've been addicted to porn since my early teens. Only now in my 30s do I realise the damage it has caused me. It's brought to some dark places that has question my morality and sexuality equally.

But I see alot of people post and ask why. Why am I addicted? Why can't I quit?.

Well the answer is very simple. You haven't found the root cause of why you used porn to self medicate. That's the real hard part right there. You have to strip back your ego until there is nothing left.

This process isn't easy, it's excruciating. You have to shine a light on darkest places of your soul. But that's the answer.

I've had alot of DM's asking me for advice. Truth is, who am I to give advice. I've not accomplished this feat. Therapy, embrace spirituality. Belief. These are some of the ways to move forward.

If porn wasn't your medicine it would be a problem.

Love.🙏
