How should I (22M) bring up my porn problem to my (21F) girlfriend? Should I at all? — Just a bit of backstory, I already had a problem with porn coming into this relationship. Not necessarily an addiction or a problem so bad that it actually took away from my life, but more so that it …

I think I'll ask for more Gabapentin to give it another shot, it couldn't hurt, and 100mg was pretty low from what I'm reading. As for the Xanax, I've taken it before and quit cold turkey when I felt …

LeadMeNot lets you block apps and set up keyword filters at the system level, plus your accountability partner has to approve changes which adds real friction. Covenant Eyes works too but its more exp…

I am so sorry. I understand how devastating this is, even more so if he is a cop, someone meant to protect and serve others and he can't even remain faithful to his own wife. Does he realize the impac…

You went nuke. Good job! You can let the OBS know you’re there if she wants to talk and needs evidence. That pretty much will end the A because that POS probably never planned to leave his wife and wi…

I tried so hard to scroll past this comment but fuck it, I’ll bite. What AngryJanitor said is true: both of your points are as pointless as each other. But they can also be as helpful as each other.…

I think an excessively cold turkey approach is unlikely to last long term and that level of stimulation might make it easier to be outdoors and active and make you more consistent with it. I think its…

I knew I'd struggle to go cold turkey no contact when I had to. Tapered it down for a month and then December 5 2025 was when we had last spoken. The urges come and go. There have been instances I've …

No contact should be the end. It should be the act of shielding yourself from self-inflicted pain. People don’t take it seriously. They don’t go 100% cold turkey and sit with the pain. They don’t buil…

yeah… this actually sounds a lot like caffeine withdrawal tbh. if you were having 2–3 of those Starbucks Frappuccino bottled drinks a day, your body got used to that. when you suddenly stop, anxiety …

It’s possible you could only drink in situations where cocaine is completely inaccessible to rewire that Pavlovian response with alcohol, but if that’s not possible, then quitting drinking in a safe w…

Hey, it's good that you're recognizing the incongruity between your beliefs and your actions and trying to make a change. It sounds like you're really lonely and AI has been a crutch for you to replac…

i felt like this. i have struggled with making friends a tonnnn of times and sat there and wondered to myself. even recently! i just sat i. my room and wondered why the people i considered my friends …

Take some time and read up on narcissistic abuse, because that is what you were a victim of. The arc of your relationship fits the pattern. Let me make a few assumptions. You knew her for quite some…

I was just lucky I didn't have a baby. If we had a kid, it would have been way harder than realizing that staying would kill me and going cold turkey. I broke it off and disappeared for a month, total…

The research on this is incomplete, but from the limited long-term studies we do have, the answer would be to proceed with caution. THC habitation is a concern, and for people who quit cold turkey a…

Absolutely. If they could legitimately change and be a safe person for me, I wouldn't walk, I would run back to their arms. This person is older though and already set in their ways. While they did st…

Are you in Asia? If you're in the West then it would make far more sense to do a retreat in the West, in English, and without the dysentery. As someone else said, the vipassana retreats are very avail…

Hi :) I was on it for 3 years, and it severely helped maintain my extreme depression. Give it a shot! Only advice I have is once you’re on a decent dose, don’t just stop taking them cold turkey. Br…

I hear you man, it sounds exhausting dealing with the hassle, the cravings, and all the social pressure. Honestly, if you’re done with it, quitting is worth it, and you don’t have to do it cold turkey…

My first step towards a better me this year was kicking bad habits cold turkey, then introducing mundane ones but doing them extremely fast including simple tasks like washing dishes. Whenever I f…

i’d maybe encourage not going totally cold turkey, if possible — weaning down on one’s dose is so much easier, and even then only having enough weed to alleviate the symptoms, and no more than that! a…

That is why I am asking for help. I don’t plan on having kids for years and I want to get started with my health now. I have actually already started with this a year ago and got on metformin and have…

You can quit food cold turkey, at least for a while. Fasting is one of the most healthy things you can do to give your body a break from all the digestion it does. Not only will fasting improve your w…

1. You need to start with 1 habit that will get you on track. Something you never thought you would do but you did and you feel like an achiever. For me I started with Badminton at the age of 29 You n…

Going days without sleep (or even ‘day’) is incredibly unhealthy. If this is something you do I would highly recommend a cold turkey zero caffeine / zero stimulant rule. Best of luck.

Yes.  If you are a recreational smoker, someone who only does so maybe a couple times a year, maybe to a lesser extent. How ever, that is a smoker I have yet to meet. I only know daily smokers who ha…

I have been resetting since Feb 11th (after a three months which included almost a month of no contact in between). Almost two months now (Apr) and every freaking day, I am wondering why he stopped c…

Do not let yourself be codependent…time for cold turkey, your dad need to succeed or fail on his own

I get a lot of help from Metagenics magnesium glycinate. I white knuckled my entire life from about age 16 or 17 where it was manageable to around 34, when Klonopin gave me my life back. It works for …

Smoked pack a day for eight years and quit cold turkey- the only way. Really rough for three months but so glad I toughed it out. That was before learning this: There's a pattern with all habits: thin…

I get where you are coming from, but I would not recommend OP to reach out.  Closure comes from within. It comes from accepting reality and finding a new way to live without one’s ex. There’s really …

Everyone is right. You should leave, but if you’re not ready to do that, please at least set a boundary in your relationship about substance use. He is done using. Once you hit someone, you’re no lo…

You have your doctor make a dosing schedule so you can wean off. Do not go cold turkey. Also, talk to the doctor about why husband wants you to stop taking them.

You typically need to titrate down from medication not just stop cold turkey. Please speak with your doctor. Your husband needs to realize he is putting your health and safety at risk by asking you …

You don't quit psychotropic meds cold turkey. There's a step-down process with monitoring to make sure you're not slipping into psychosis, which is rare but can happen. This is especially important si…
