Serious Porn addiction help? - Beverly Hills Cop - 03-24-2014 10:52 AM
I just stayed up all night looking at porn. I feel like I'm going to throw up and fall over. I'm terribly addicted. It's to the point where I'm making social media accounts and creating a guy and a girl and having them flirt together. I'm so messed up. I'm a 15 year old guy. What can I do? I feel so sick. Physically and mentally. At first when I stop I feel bad. Then later I do it again. There's no way to stop

How about take a break from the internet? Hang out with your family. Go out. Watch a movie. Go to your friend's place. Go skateboarding. Read a good book. Call a friend. Go to gym.
Or if you can't get off the internet, try doing something constructive instead of watching Po*n. Learn how to do something you've always wanted to do. Read facts. Read interesting stories, or write stories and post them on fanfiction, listen to music, Start a blog about your thoughts.
Or also try studying for school, I find that helps me take my mind of things I don't want to think about. I'm 16.
It sounds as if you feel a bit lonely. Do you like any girl? Why not try and meet a girl. Don't tell her about this addiction or the social media account thing. It'll creep her out. But why not just talk to a real girl. And experience real feelings. Like love. You'll find it feels much better than lust.
Goodluck. I pray you succeed.

If you just want to reduce the amount of time spent, set a sensible limit, and use an alarm, or reminder in your PDA, or cell/mobile phone. Have some things ready to do, then.

Hypnosis is merely a heightened state of suggestibility, in which you are better able to communicate with your subconscious mind. 85% of people are suggestible to some degree; 15% - 20% highly so, and 15% - 20% aren't much at all, so you could either preferably seek professional hypnotherapy, or, if not an option, hypnosisdownloads.com has: Porn Addiction.
More at amazon.com or try the free hypnosis for addictions at 8m.com; kindly contribute reasonably if helped; they need it to keep the service operating.
