Isolation:
Porn addiction's greatest trump card against you.

Ah, isolation. Such a dangerous thing to the recovering porn addict.
Alone, vulnerable and exposed to the beliefs, thoughts and bad habits.
You gotta understand just how dangerous it is to be always alone when fighting addiction.

You gotta understand just how dangerous it is to be always alone when fighting addiction.
Here is why:
1) minimized accountability
It really is no surprise that being alone all the time gives you an opportunity to rationalize back to porn, because there is no one to be accountable to in the moment.
Definitely makes it easier to do the wrong thing.

2) alone with the demons
We also cannot forget that you have no one else in the immediate vicinity if you let your negative thoughts get to you.
Remember: we are often our worst enemy, so being alone all the time is not good for your mental health.
Yes, you too, introverts.

3) No outside interference
To add more onto the fire, there isn't anyone around to not only hold you accountable, but stop you.
Sometimes all you need is someone to snap you out of it in the moment.
Seriously; sometimes all you need is another person beside you.

4) what to do
There are plenty of things you can do, so here is a bullet list of some:
•Attend Classes
•Go to social gatherings
•make parties at your house
•Simply go outside and socialize
•Take long walks out in nature

5) Connection is the counter
Oftentimes, I notice that the main deeper reason why people watch porn is to find some semblance of connection or love, not always boredom.
After all, why in the past two years has OnlyFans subscriptions and porn use drastically skyrocketed?

That is right: mass isolation. That need for connection and cure to loneliness, as well as feeling some sort of investment.
We are social creatures, herd animals.
Throw a person in isolation for a couple months and their life span drops and they go insane.
Not good.

So keep this in mind when fighting addiction. The best long term addiction killer are strong connections, brotherhoods and support groups.
Even more than any techniques for fighting urges.
So get outside.
Bro, seriously, GO OUTSIDE!
You will have an edge against porn.
