Setting out to quit/question

[Lindo]

Hello

I've been aware that I have a problem with P for some time, squandering hours and hours day after day in search of material that will allow me to blank out all but my most animal appetites. I'm single and struggle with manic depression, but over a period of about four years P has come to be the crutch that is actually making me sicker.

I haven't visited any P sites for about five days now, which - ridiculously - feels like a long time but is essentially a matter of seconds compared to the years and months I've been compulsively bingeing on this toxic stuff.

I really need to kick this.

In trying to focus on a strategy, I do have one question: From what I've read here so far, MB seems to be the accepted shorthand for m******ion - don't know whether etiquette is to avoid spelling the word out - but a lot of the posts I've read from people trying to quit P, very many seem to also be quitting MB, too. As a single person, I wonder whether this is appropriate strategy for me: I don't want to do it more than, I dunno, two or three times a week in future - but this seems to me to be sensible for someone who has no other sexual release - but am I missing something? Should I really be trying to repress all sexual behaviour if I'm to succeed in quitting P?

This seems to be an excellent resource, by the way: thanks to those who set it up, and those members who are keeping it going.

Yes, absolutely. For guys like us, P and MB are inextricably linked. We use P to heighten the excitement of MB, and MB leads us back to P.

The truth is, we don't really need any sexual release. I know that's hard to believe, but it's true. And the longer you go without one, the less you feel the need for it. I've gone 112 days now without one, and I rarely even think about it anymore.

Wishing you all the best!
