The #1 Thing You Need to Do to QUIT PORN Forever with Dr Trish Leigh & Zach Carter

[@therichbuddha3277]

YES! "Internal motivation." Meaning, knowing you actually really want to stop the habit. That you are truly done with it!!

[@MysticWolf1223]

In my experience, quitting porn was the easy part. The hard part is overcoming lustful thoughts and sexual impulses. The need for sexual pleasure is stronger for some than it is for others. But as another youtuber put it, it's better to be lustful than it is to be lustful and also addicted to porn. Porn itself can literally ruin lives and change people for the worst.

[@MultipleGrievance]

So what do you do when lust hits you? Ignore it? Repress it? Master bate to release it? Use substitutes?

[@MultipleGrievance]

My best strategy is to simply release it as fight as I can.... I masterbait. I simply can't trust myself, Especially when i'm tired, To sit with the lust. It HAS to be dealt with!!

[@MysticWolf1223]

@@MultipleGrievance combination of all tbh. But sometimes you have to remind yourself that you're still a guy. It's normal to have those thoughts

[@Lentreeo]

I think everyone feels lustful at times, it is natural as a human being to have lustful feelings and thoughts. I think it's important to be aware of it and control your urges when they overcome oneself.

[@CoolestDude38NC]

Nothing wrong with lust and sexual desire. However when you get to the point that only internet porn does it for you, there is a problem.

45 days in now...another 45 to go before I hit 90!

Hey, How is the journey??]

[@damiena07]

@adilhassan5132 2 Weeks away from 90 now. Let us see. Hopefully, make it there.

90 done, finally. After a long time.

[@shay-doran]

Thank you for the different perspectives in this video, it was very helpful. For me, it was realising how much impact it was having on my life (internal motivation) and also taking the pressure off by focusing on one day at a time. I also believe watching porn, it becomes a habit & we can learn to change our habits. And I totally agree Dr Trish it's a process.

[@adilhassan5132]

the internal motivation, thats soo true. Once you know its destructive, it has no good, it has nothing real, once you realised am ready for a session but realise that you would be crying in that place where you had session and that it never stops and it will ask for this again and again, the journey starts.

[@adilhassan5132]

for me the biggest THING that i did or that meant the most to me in my journey was" The Self Realisation". How destructive this thing had became for me and I was thinking like today it wants me to watch once, tomorrow again and twice, the 3rd day thrice, when is it gonna stop.... and I realised there wasn't any stop, the wheel never stops, it just goes spinning and spinning and spinning until I realised the only way to stop this wheel of perpetuity is to break the wheel. After the struggle of 3 years, I finally did that. Its my clean day 79 and am still trying to learn every day and try to stay away from literally everything that might have a chance to give me some bad thoughts.

[@christian_in_Spain]

Day 13 here, just started on the journey. I don’t know what’s the first thing to help me quit for good but what prompted me to embark on this journey in the first place was stumbling upon your videos a while ago and realising what I was doing to myself

[@Lentreeo]

Thank you so much for the video! I think quitting porn is the starting point but as both of you said it is the underlying struggles which need to be addressed to really understand which needs you have and what you can do to fullfill them.

[@lseger62]

Yes, you have to have that aha moment (s) that gives and keeps the desire to get well, and finding the tools to get that done.

[@MultipleGrievance]

I've had 5 or 6 AHA Moments..... the reasons are ask thier and they are solid. I have all the best reasons in the world to stop. I'm obviously missing something that's vital to me.

[@hunterhuie1550]

it’s true, i had my true aha moment 11 days ago after watching porn on and off half of my 23 years on this planet

[@hunterhuie1550]

I’m on Day 11 of no PMO with one small slip up yesterday, but once that switch flipped 11 days ago i knew i was done with it forever.

[@punnyguyjae]

I’ve been porn free for a year now but still suffering from pied. I hope I overcome that soon 😢

[@walkerrobinson9614]

Speak to your doctor, try some sildenafil or tadalfil. In my experience, just needed a jump start. Also are you taking any SSRIs (anti depressants)? If so, they can cause erectile dysfunction and sexual problems

[@MultipleGrievance]

​@@walkerrobinson9614 Good idea.... Might just need an aid for self esteem. Pills worked wonders for me...... And then at some point your body just takes over.

[@WarriorOfTheNarrowPath]

Hey man, don’t know if many have said it to you but I am really jealous of you in a great way, that’s so admirable that your a year free, and I’m very proud of you. God is aswell. Be grateful your free from porn because that nasty wickedness that we put on ourselves could have much worse to you than pied, you will get it back someday, keep working out, eat healthy, and stray away from lustful thoughts that align with porn. I’m proud of you my friend.

Hey listen straight up prayer works I believe that. But you’ve got to believe you’re not a victim in a situation you created. Have accountability, you can do it!

[@richardduiventil]

I NEVER used to watch porn but because of these videos I DO: it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy !!!

[@ابوشام-ب5ل]

I started the recovery meter 8 months ago with 60 slips or more. Should the meter zero or decrease and continue the recovery journey after that? Please answer my question.

[@teddroessler8566]

You state so frequently " a healthy intimate sexual relationship" please describe what that is and how to get there?

[@ramansamal]

Very Beneficial, Thank You Both. 👏

[@petersilie4927]

Thanks for the video and the time you put into keeping us away from porn! Trish, could you please let your guest finish his sentences? I'm having the impression that he is not getting enough time to say what's on his mind. I had the same impression in the last episode of this interview/cocreation format.

[@ShawnGarciaCaldwell]

Does it cause permanently brain damage

[@REALMOTIVATIONOFFICIALL3M]

Ofcourse bro,I am suffering a lot due to this

[@lucasvermeulen4454]

It seems to not cause permanent damage.

[@anatoleythenerd]

where can I find zoom meetings for this???

[@sarge115Jr]

Dr. Leigh, what can you tell me about CDP-Coline as a supplement to speed up recovery?

[@Aniket_dope]

[@williamclinard2438]

I love the boat and the jungle analogy. That's the way it was for me with drinking twenty seven years ago. I got to a point where said I just can't do this anymore and let the boat go on by itself

[@cryptojedii]

I think it's a disgrace that you charge $800 to vulnerable individuals - for 'virtual' assistance. I hope people just stop at your YT videos, because that's pretty much all they need.

[@danielmartin-zm6xs]

Are all group meetings created equal?

[@MultipleGrievance]

Definitely not. That's why it's important to start your search now.... Try different fellowships. Test the waters. It's necessary to connect with the right people & you could be searching for awhile. So start NOW !

Number 1 is to stop just living in your house for 10 years never going outside. Need to get back into college,get a job etc . Otherwise its impossible.

[@MultipleGrievance]

For a porn addict I would say yes .......! You being at home all the time with nothing to do and know where to go is like the alcoholic who hangs out of the bar every day. You don't stand a chance 🤳

[@lucasvermeulen4454]

Surely it's possible staying at home.

[@MultipleGrievance]

@lucasvermeulen4454 Possible? It's always possible. Smart? No. Not if you have a lot of technology that's connected to the internet.

Porn doesn't affect your life in a negative way, unless you already are a negative person It is a privilege to be able to enjoy it and use it to our advantage. It is all about building your perspective and not just listening to people tell you what's good or bad in exploring your sexuality, go for it and experience it for yourself.

you’re a terrible person for coming and saying that here

Porn in excessive use with masturbation is destroying people's lifes.

[@MultipleGrievance]

I'm going to write a mission statement. I already know all the reasons why but it might help in the moment to have a manifesto to read. Something written as eloquently as possible. That hits me in the GUT 👊 That might work, as I know it's my prefrontal cortex that's battling my amygdala, which is the seat of emotions right?? Maybe if I give my higher functioning some leverage 🤔
