• 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.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I’ve made it to 4 weeks sober from PMO! YES! I’m super pumped. I wish I would have achieved this earlier in my life but as they say, better late than never.

I was introduced to porn at an early age. Throughout my life, I’ve used it as a coping mechanism to handle stress and as a sleep aid. No I have developed healthier habits and my brain isn’t depleted of its dopamine, so I have the energy to complete my healthy habits and attack my goals. My brain is healing and yours can too.

There’s so much I want to achieve in my life and this is what has motivated me to get sober. Porn was like chains ⛓️ holding me back and I was finally able to break through ⛓️‍.

The benefits I’ve noticed are that my mind is much more sharp, I’m much more motivated, it’s easier to wake up early, and just an overall state of wellbeing.

I recommend meditating ‍♂️ to help you pull this off. And if you’re close with God, confide in Him and He will bless you and help you pull through.

i quit 5 years ago. Is so good to let your body mind and spirit rest of that stuff,
also is an horrible sin,
in my case, i prayed a lot, and God showed is like the bible says, "who sins is an slave to sin" so God broke those "chains" like you said you feel i guess, and after that i didn't watch again.
