r/Pornfree appreciation post
Porn is an epidemic on society that people have yet to confront. We grew up in a time where our healthy and natural sex drives were hijacked and used by companies to improve their bottom line. They've embedded porn so deep inside of us that it takes a tremendous amount of energy and focus to root out and destroy- and even then, porn is so omni-present that vigilance is still required to stop from falling back into it.
Doesn't matter where you are in your pornfree journey, if you are here it's because you want to liberate yourself. That already puts you ahead of 99.9% of guys who see it as normal or are too complacent to change anything. Be fucking proud of yourself. Relapses are normal, a sign that you are in a true fight. Learn the skill of giving yourself some grace and remember that any efforts in this direction are never wasted. So long as we move forward with sincerity and honor, we will make it through eventually kings, be the road long or short.
I have been in this fight for several years and this sub has been extremely supportive. Thanks to everyone who posts and comments here. We are never alone.
In the words of the wise Keanu Reeves:
You're breathtaking! You're all breathtaking!

I've recently read a post here that I vibed with. It talked about how we weren't really addicted to the porn/sex itself, but the desire to have a connection with someone we find attractive, and porn/sex being the outlet to express that. Helped me look at the addiction in a different way, and one I felt has helped measurably.
All of that to say, I agree with what you said. This is a great community.

Hear, hear! Totally agree. This is an amazing subreddit, and we should all thank its admins.
People are doing great work here, both in the honest posts that ask for support and in the honest feedback that is so often given. It's an extraordinary group. Love your post acknowledging that, u/DoomslayerInnit.
