I seem to be addicted to many things. The two that are most soul destroying are gambling and porn. They both leave me feeling totally disappointed and/or disgusted with myself. I have tried many ways to stop both with no luck so far. I know I can beat them both and will not stop trying until I succeed. Any one have any ideas on how to "speed up" the process?
Both behaviors are hard to control, the goal you should set is to feel good
about yourself. Some feeling of peace and less need to escape may follow.
Groups exist if your feelings and actions seem unmananagable, both for
gambling and sex. Don't hate yourself/engage in self loathing. Find a group.
There is no short-cut to finding your center, just lots of work and indeed
some pains you did not even know you had. "Strive to be happy."
