Thanks for that post... a lot of what you say rings true with me.
I also think it's strange how some people can take it or leave and others (like me) just go overboard on p and can't stop. For me I think it is a coping mechanism of sorts, before the internet came along I used to be able judge my happiness by how big my stack of mags was.
One of my major reasons for quitting is that I have realised that in the past I've definitely preferred p to meeting real women. Thinking about it there have been many times when I've been out at night surrounded by gorgeous girls and thought "when I get home I'm gonna look at so much p". Mental. Just mental. I didn't used to be like that either, I pretty much always had girlfriends but at some point I seem to have lost interest and withdrawn into fantasy.
Good luck with your own struggle. I think that quitting the p will definately help you to be happier around girls; once you stop seeing them as objects then you can start getting to know them as people.
