Reason why you want to quit PA

[thatguy]

I am making this thread hoping that everyone can contribute their ideas. I would love to hear your ideas. Here are my reasons why I want to quit PA -

- Makes me spend hours on end at home when I could be out enjoying life.
- Makes my mind think of extreme fantasies all the time.
- Makes normal sex really unenjoyable when it really shouldn't be
- Wastes a LOT of time (I cannot stress this more)
- Takes a toll on my mind, body and soul.

Everything you said, Thatguy :) In summary, I want to quit using porn because I no longer want to let it control me and my life. I want to take back the steering wheel, make decisions based on my values, not fleeting urges and desires. I want to practice my values every moment of every day, rather than putting them aside whenever I get the urge to use. I want to be the man I know I can be. I no longer what to leer at women, but see them as the wonderful people they are. When I meet my future wife to be, I want to be able to go to that altar on our special day, with an open, loving heart, and be able to say to her that she is my one and only. That my heart belongs to her alone, and I will go nowhere else, including to porn, for satisfaction. I want to take my life back from here on out. Thanks, Thatguy for the thread.

Thanx Rich for contributing to this thread. Great words there. Yes getting my life back is probably the main reason why I want to quit this horrible addiction. I just want to feel normal again. And yes, that will be an amazing day when we all find someone special. Thank you for giving me something to look forward to and some inspiration to not give up. As of now due to this addiction I cannot even imagine being with a girl, I just feel guilty and unworthy but in the coming days I will feel whole again.

Please people contribute to this thread on why YOU want to give this up or why you think PA is detrimental so others can look at this thread for hope and inspiration.

I want to keep on discovering the man I can be without porn. I feel honest, genuine, real, present. And it grows. There is no better reward.

Great thread! Thank you to thatguy!=D>

If I was asked that question several months ago my answer would have been "to save my marriage". Now after many months of discovery and honest searching I know without a doubt that I want to recover to be a whole and healthy man. This is my goal. When I achieve this goal everything else will fall into place. I can then be the husband my wife deserves! I can look at myself and feel good at what I see. I will know who I am down to the core of me and I will love it! I have seen what P and MB has stolen from me and I want nothing to do with this addiction anymore!

- I want to become a loving father and husband one day.
- I want to meet the girl of my dreams without any unworthy feelings.
- I want to become healthier.
- I want to be able to have normal, healthy sex rather than MB 2 times a day.
- I want to use my time to improve rather than looking at P.
- I want to meet more people, make more money and be more happy.

Thatguy you're well on your way to becoming all those things and I commend you for changing on your own to make a better Thatguy and for a person you haven't even met yet but I bet is right around the corner... the future Mrs. Thatguy!

My reasons for quitting PA;

- I really didn't like myself and wanted to quit for years but couldn't figure out how or why?

- It consumed my life and darn near my marriage.

- It's wrong, shameful & dishonorable that's why I tried to keep it a secret!

- I now know to be free of the addiction is so liberating, positive and truly uplifting!

- For my wife Hopeful who I swore in front of my family, friends and God over 31yrs ago to love, honor and cherish till death do us part! ...That alone should have been enough reason!!!

I quit viewing P to be the very best I can be in every single area of my life.
And after quitting P, every single area of my life has improve ten fold.
