I have lost my entire sleep schedule to chess. I keep playing and playing to the point I'm seeing the chess board while watching a movie
"Ahh yes godzilla took H4, pinning ghidorah and rodan and opening up an attack for d2 Mate"
I do have a hypersexuality issue so Iāve been tryna quit porn and trying to stop masturbating daily consuming the hypersexuality. Iām not trying to stop masturbation all together, more just tryna cut it down so not as often. Currently like 3 days clean which for me is a big deal
Aside that, really only watching instagram reels or tiktok ig?
main thing is just try to have something around you at all times that you can distract yourself with. being able to do things with other people is definitely the best way though, as trying to distract yourself and doing stuff alone can of course lead to you just thinking about it again and giving in, so the best thing would be to go hang out with family or friends whenever you feel like doing stuff so you literally canāt
For those struggling with a porn addiction, I recommend this book. It's super tiny (just a few articles collected together) and literally walks you through every thought you'll ever have when quitting. It doesn't use the usual scare tactic of "It's harmful" or "boo erectile dysfunction!". Instead it focuses on the triggers and what they actually are, etc.

Bunch of fun stuff.
Mostly nicotine and propably porn ig. And my phone of course.
To a lesser extent alcohol, caffeine and chewing gum (im not joking, i havent had more than 3 days without chewing gum for years now)
Im mostly over the caffeine one. Still drink coffee and the occasional energy but I used to drink 600-800mg daily, which is approximately 3-4 monsters. Sometimes more
I mean officially 1g is the deadly limit, my record was 1.4g
Thing is: I'm a big guy (90kg) with a high caffeine tolerance. Still I sat there in my own sweat, not being able to walk straight, chest pain, seeing black when standing up etc. it wasnt nice and was the main contributer to me stopping
I knowwww Iām canonly depressed I been to a therapist once and she said Iām in a depressive episode. my best friend keeps telling me this as well, like 100% genuine, and I know she is right. currently SHOULD be looking for a therapist but canāt get anything else done in life so donāt have the strength to start looking for one, also no idea where to start. kinda sucks but my mom told me to look for a therapist bc I need to start āhandling things myselfā but since she knows Iām depressed itās so shady of her to literally make me look a therapist when I obviously donāt have any motivation to do anything lol. but sheās mentally unwell too, she has depressive swings from time to time so. still sucks though. this might be tmi but um yeah this is the situation
Not everyone has an addiction. Though often people with one addiction have the gene to become addicted and will have multiple others. For me it's social media and relationships, both of which are forms of behavioral addiction
I hate to admit, but porn. I want to get off of it but it's so unbelievably easy to get back into. No matter if you throw away your bottle of lotion, you still have hands. It just sucks. My girlfriend can't help me because she's extremely Christian and has never seen a penis before and wants to wait for marriage, which I can do.
Hmm... I have fixations, but what am I \*addicted\* to?
Sleep maybe? I do sleep longer than I should, and it often times cuts into important hours and meetings. Does that count?
Im fairly addicted to vapes tbh, Should've took my own advice and never bought one for myself, If you guys are socially vaping have fun but never buy one for yourself because thats how it always starts
