Self Medicating to Feel OK
Childhood neglect and sexual abuse led me to very early promiscuity at 12 years old and marijuana and then crack cocaine addiction and alcoholism. In and out of rehab and I was out on the streets by 15 and raped twice before I was 18. Sex has been like a weapon against me for my while life so its messed up that I am a sex addict now. The thing is the only times I don’t feel pain are when I am planning and fanaticizing and during sex but then I feel worse afterward than ever. Sex is like my emotional medicine but if I don’t use sex then I start to crave alcohol very strongly and drinking takes me to a very bad place that I know I won’t survive again. So what I want to know. Honestly. Is will I ever not need something to feel OK?
Read answer →Teenage Porn Addiction
How do you know if you have a porn addiction? I only look at porn before bed so it is not like I am doing it all of the time but I can’t sleep unless I do it. If I try I just toss and turn and it calls to me until I give in and go to the computer. When I am surfing I can lose track of time and sometimes I will spend 2 or 3 hours in a session. This makes it quite hard to get up in the morning and after I am done when it is really late I always feel really guilty and ashamed at my loss of control over myself. I do not have a girlfriend if that is not obvious already. I have not missed a night of this in more than two years. I am 17 now. I have not discussed this with anyone because it is pretty embarrassing.
