Addiction and frustration

Addiction and frustration

Hey, I'm not looking for advice, just needed somewhere to express my feelings. Thank you for reading.

I have a porn addiction that I have battled with over the last 5-6 years. I've tried to overcome it many times and have always come up short. I go through phases of being angry and frustrated with myself over giving in to the urge to view porn and just being numb to the negative consequences it has on my life. I am once again trying to overcome it and keep falling short, I just wish I could stop myself, I know its not that simple, I just don't like the feeling of not being in control of my behaviour fully. I know I have to keep trying , but man I just get so tired of it sometimes.

Re: Addiction and frustration

Sorry to hear you're having issues. I want to offer suggestions but I'm sure you've explored them anyway, hence your "not looking for advice" line.
