When all hope is lost, so does your control over your addiction.

The times when I had no hope were the times I struggled the most with pornography. Watching was a way to zap my dopamine levels so I had the feeling of hope. In reality, the relapse sunk me into a deeper state of hopelessness, and I was worse off than before.

Your environment, location, and relationships play a role in the recovery process. These things can make it easier or way more difficult to break bad habits. It’s time to take baby steps and change our environment.

Every journey and every addiction begins with a single step towards recovery. Will you take it?
