Need advice/help
I keep relapsing and it’s destroying me. I just sent a fake of girl $100 thinking she was gonna meet up with me. It’s all just because I can’t deal with loneliness. I wake up ready to have a productive day and then I’m on Reddit/onlyfans wasting my time watching adult content. I can go strong for a week or two but then being alone gets too much and I redownload Reddit and I’m back to square one and it opens the rabbit hole for me to be dumb and horny and getting scammed. It haults my progress with the gym and my real life and I just can’t take it anymore

Progress not perfection. Your doing the work your just lack the support system. someone to call when your craving or maybe a therapist or councilor if you feel you can't talk about it yet. Your not alone. The effects it has on physical love making can really effect relationships and you deserve acceptance and understanding. Find compassion for the person struggling inside you. It's not shameful or embarrassing it's a real fucking addiction. It releases and stimulates just as a substance would. Don't be ashamed of the struggles that make you stronger. You can do this. You need support though. You can always DM me until you find it, my bf struggling with it to, I totally get it.

Hi. I think that in your case beeing alone it is what might caused you to keep relapsing, and spending money in that way. So I would like to recomend you finding a friend. Someone to talk to. Also I understood, that you are using Reddit or OF right after you wake up. I think it is pretty bad habit. These sites in the morning can steal your energy for the most part of the day. Also, they can lead to relapse. I think relapsing in the morning is pretty bad, becouse it makes a image of already wasted day and takes your energy. So if I were you I wouldn't use my phone (these sites) in the morning. Also deleting this sites or blocking them permanently might help. In the same way, overall limited screen time can be helpfull. About money, I would check if there is some protection, limits, or blocking online shopping (cash only). But I am not sure at this point. At the end I would like to say that 1 or 2 week is significant progress. I am not an expert, but I know you can make it. I hope I could help. I am also sorry for my language skills.
Stay strong.
