• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Ive been addicted to porn for almost 8 years now. Ive tried countless times to break the addiction just to fail or relapse. This constant sinning has turned my life upside down and i really need to get this out of my life asap. I cant break this addiction by myself, i need help.

Find another addiction to replace it!. I'm not joking.
But this time I mean a healthy addiction like:
exercise
meditation
Bible Reading
Christian reflection books
a girlfriend
biographies of people who overcame addictions
do the 12 step program for alcoholics

The problem is, none of those things are addictive, and most of them are unpleasant.

Hey there, I myself have a very addictive type of personality.
I am currently in a Treatment Center and working through my issues. They have a wide range of different types of addictions that come through here, sex, drugs, drinking, gambling etc.
Maybe you could look into checking yourself into a center if you are seriously worried about it and/or cannot stop.
There is lots of support at a Treatment Center. Lots of counseling, group work and many other programs to get this addiction past you.

It's worth looking into if you need help.

Hope this post gives you some thought.
Cheers,
Chad

Agreed, Lots of them are very pricey. Maybe you can get insurance to cover some of the cost? I know some insurance companies are coming around to this idea. Or through work?, sometimes work will have a program.

There are many types of treatment centers, some are less expensive than other ones. But it may be a good start to kick this issue.

Cheers,
Chad

The cost would be enough to make me sober up. :)

I know your a being funny, but deciding to go to a treatment centre is a very serious decision. The cost is irrelevant compared to your life.

Just sayin. :)

Cheers,
Chad
