How To Repair Your Mind From P*rn

It was brought to my attention that I mentioned “punishing yourself” and I want to clear up what I meant … I’ve stated this in many videos but I want yall to know that relapsing is not failure, it is a opportunity to learn, weakness is presented when you keep allowing these opportunities to go to waste. If you change your mindset you can prevent problems before they even need fixing. A part of that is all about being responsible and accountable. Addiction to porn is mainly about dopamine. I mentioned the phrases “punishing yourself” and “resetting you reward system” in the sense of taking away stimulation from yourself, like watching tv or eating junk, (doing things that make the addiction to cheap dopamine worst). Replace those things with good habits and your life is bound to improve. If you can’t read between the lines and you want to be babied this isn’t the community for you. I love you all and the tribe is on the rise❤️one love

I feel like I’m in a genuine conversation with a close friend while watching your videos.

As a woman, porn addiction is something that feels kind of isolating. I've never met any other woman with this issue. I hate how porn makes me feel after, such a rush, and for what? That empty, lonely feeling you get when you're in your room right after.. it's soul-draining. It's stopped being a good coping mechanism.

20 years old, horribly addicted. Terrible life habits having been formed throughout my entire life; eating junk food, never acting healthy, never even really being hygienic. My dopamine receptors are fried, my room is disgusting, my hair is matted, and my teeth are stained, decaying, and misaligned. I sleep at 6:00 AM and sleep through the most of the day, I don’t work out, and my posture is terrible. It hurts to think about these things, and it hurts in such a way that it demotivates me from ever seeking out anything better for myself. No longer. It will be a long, hard journey where I will make mistakes, but I want to be a better man than this. I intend to come back to this video one year from now with an update. I look forward to the kind of transformation i can achieve in that time. Thank you for your video; I hope it lays the foundation for the most important step of my life.

Biggest problem I have is being alone at night. I have the most productive days, working, eating, sport, gym, but as soon as night falls and I'm alone in my room in the dark I regress

Bros, we will conquer this. I’m not a big fan of new year resolutions but let’s get this done this year! I wish you guys the best! Stay strong, we will get this!

As a woman, I read these comments and my heart breaks for all you young men battling this addiction. It’s truly a way society has failed you. You guys got this, don’t give up. No matter how longs it’s been, it’s a new day, and do your best, try, if you step back, get back up! You are loved, worthy, and deserve a good and healthy perspective of what true love and s3x is! And that doesn’t show you it. It warps your mind, and makes you see people as objects. I’m so sorry, whether you got introduced to it, where abused and found your way on it, or it was forced, I’m so sorry. It’s never to late to try to stop and get your life back. I pray you guys know you can do it, and God can use all the bad and turn it into good. Don’t give up! Find people who will keep you accountable and you can lean in!

To all the teenagers in the comments opening up and being vulnerable about this addiction, I am proud of you…Just know, the fact that you are having these realizations in your youth is going to help you mightily moving forward. If you have decided wholeheartedly that you are not going to let porn be a part of your future, you are setting yourselves up for success. It is a process. Please don’t condemn yourselves and fall into the trap of feeling bad when you fall. Give yourselves grace. You got this!

This comment section is so sweet and compassionate. It makes me feel much less lonely not only knowing so many people are also on their way to a better path from this, but other women as well. I haven't seen women discuss porn addiction outside of this comment section. It warms my heart to see so many people come together. I've been able to open up and so have many other people here without fear of judgement. We're all gonna make it. ❤

Relapsed last night after a couple weeks and told myself “this is the last straw”. Going into the new year, I want to quit. Stumbled across this video and I feel like it gave me added knowledge to stop this habit. I’m 21 and have been watching porn since 11. I am determined to beat this addiction because it really is one of the worst if not the worst in this day and age.

Remove the triggers Learn to hate porn Replace bad habits with good habits Use "delusion" to believe in yourself Get real world interactions Find things you suck at and be good at them (delayed gratification) Accountability (reset reward system "punish yourself" ) Focus on mind repair on your journey, above the streak (ask yourself 'why') FIND SOMETHING ELSE

Bros voice is actually so mellow bro he sounds like a wise philosopher

I didn’t know how much I needed that fist bump. Thank you for the video. As a girl, this never ending cycle of wanting, craving and the emptiness thereafter is so relatable. We’ll defeat this f*cking disease. Sending you love and hugs brother❤

I am 14 years old and have been struggling for the past year trying to stop watching porn. It's sickening how easy it is for young people to access pornographic content. I wish there was a way to restrict younger people from watching porn.

I'm 17 years old. P ruined my childhood at the age of just 13. It's been a real struggle over the past few years. I always knew the addiction was wrong, I just couldn't push myself to give it up. I made my New Year's resolution to give it up for good. I'm going to use some of the tactics you described in this video in hopes to quit it once and for good. I hope to come back to this comment down the road with a smile on my face. Thanks brotha! Edit: It's now April of this year, and I find myself watching this video again. Why? Becuase nothing changed. I really need to rewire my mind. I've rewatched this video, I've prayed to God for help, and I'm planning to begin punishing myself if neccessary. This time, I'm serious, and I'm really hoping to come back to this comment down the road with a smile on my face. Thanks to all who have showed support as this comment currently has over 1k likes. Most importantly, thank you again man, if you're reading this, for making this video.

This dude did more for me than my parents or friends ever done, i'm not saying i'm ungrateful, but i feel i can "talk" to this guy whenever i feel i'm troubled. I just found this channel, already subscribed, good content, keep doing it Davis 👍

Bless up man, you helping young brothers out here 😔

It warms my heart, to see someone spreading this message with such conviction and confidence. No "tips and tricks", no trying to sell shit, just honest and genuine advice. I'm 30 years old now, 31 next April. I was 21 when I decided to overcome my porn addiction, almost 24 when I cleared my first year without relapsing. And in the 17th of this month, it'll be my seventh year free of porn. I learned to play harmonica, I returned to doing pro wrestling which in turn meant I returned to working out, I joined a Dungeons and Dragons group who plays in person rather than online, and that was just the start. I learned other skills and made other meaningful connections with people over the years. Today I accompanied my mother to the doctor for her routine check-up, and on the way home she thanked me for taking such good care of her. That is not something I would do before I overcame the addiction, that is not something I would do when my mind was still messed up.

I'm a month and a week into quitting my addiction, I feel free. Clean. Confident. First month was hard but it gets easier. You can do it brothers, if you relapse, get up and try again.

For so long, I thought I'd never beat porn addiction. I was isolated from my friends and family, always zoning out and not being able to focus at all. Then, I got a volunteering opportunity this past summer where I lived off the grid with an elderly. And there was also a lady volunteering whom I became friends with. I suddenly lost all interest in porn and even despised it. I spent all time just hanging out with this woman and trying to talk to new people. She really changed me. All I'll say is to keep trying to get out of your day-to-day surrounding and make new friends. Trust me it's worth it.
