Porn addiction and perfectionism go hand-in-hand. If you want to stop watching porn, you need to understand the underlying relationship between porn addiction and these self-critical tendencies.

One of the great misconceptions out in the world is that porn addicts are selfish, lazy, or simply don’t try hard enough. But in working with these men one-on-one, I don't see this at all.

What if I told you that men who struggle with porn addiction are some of the most self-critical and perfectionistic people there are? What if I told you that porn addicts aren’t people who are lazy, selfish, or don’t care, but are actually sensitive, caring, and deeply want to do the right thing?

When we talk about porn addiction, we often focus on willpower and restraint, imagining that the answer is simply "trying harder." But for many of us, perfectionism is an underlying issue that drives the cycle of addiction.

When we set impossible standards for ourselves, we inevitably fall short, and it’s in those gaps between our expectations and reality where shame, judgment, and addiction thrive.

Through self-acceptance and self-compassion, addicts can heal and overcome porn addiction. They can quit porn by digging deep into the underlying insecurities and mental mechanisms that keep them stuck.

Today, I'll teach you how to spot these insecurities and mechanisms so that you can break porn addiction for good.

Do you wish you had a list of recovery mindset statements that could train your brain out of porn addiction? Do you wish you had porn addiction positive affirmations that could convince you to quit porn?

Today I am not going to give you that list…because that list does not exist. Don’t believe the hype out there…

But what I am going to give you is:

• Fundamental principles for writing porn addiction positive affirmations.
• A comprehensive list of positive affirmations that work for porn addiction.
• How to use these affirmations in your daily life.

I’ll also explain why common porn addiction positive affirmations such as, “I am free from porn addiction”, or ,“I am in control of my sexual urges”, are actually harmful, not helpful, and what statements to use instead.

What are Positive Affirmations for Porn Addiction

Positive affirmations are statements you can repeat to yourself that are meant to affirm and train your mind to believe in positive outcomes. By focusing on positive affirmations, you can help your brain see yourself and the world in a more positive light.

Porn addiction positive affirmations then are statements you can repeat each day to train your brain to believe that sobriety is possible for you, and to begin to believe that you are living a sober life, thereby causing you to act differently and make better choices to recover. They can be effective as part of a larger personalized recovery plan.

You cannot quit porn simply by overcoming sexual cravings and urges. Porn addiction doesn’t ultimately stem from these urges (as surprising as that is).

In reality, porn cravings are a symptom of underlying psychological barriers you're experiencing that are preventing porn addiction recovery.

Instead of facing or fighting porn cravings, you need to get to the root causes of pornography addiction. You need to access the mental blocks in your mindset and remove them.

I’m going to teach you how to do this today.

If you properly and consistently follow these 4 steps for emotional processing from day to day, there's an excellent chance you will eventually not need to deal with porn cravings in the first place. They simply won’t be there.

It is impossible for me to give you the perfect formula to overcome porn addiction in one blog article. That said, I can give you some tools for emotional processing that rely on sound principles from multiple psychological modalities, including CBT and IFS, as well as spiritual teachings from Eastern and Western Faiths.
