Working 8 weeks of 3rd shift

Aug 26, 2021 11:14 AM

I get home and have absolute quiet while the house is sleeping. Can't do any loud housework, so I get to play cod zombies guilt free. Unfortunately I never get time with my wife anymore. I'm an easily addicted person (cigarettes, alcohol, pot) and afraid my boredom might be adding another to the list. Guess it could be meth?

Edit: wow since people are actually commenting, can anyone explain to me how step-family has become a thing? I feel like I'm tripping over stepsisters trapped in things anymore

You need to do more with your wife, and she needs to get more involved with you sexually. Talk with her, or things will inevitably end

Well at least you noticed the issue and can work on it.

Now it's just down to that (gulp) self discipline thing...

As someone who browses or is playing some form of erotic game for at least 6 hours a day, you're probably fine.

Erotic games? I might feel better about that (my dad only bought penthouse letters). At least some imagination involved

I've asked. She did send one, but she's uncomfortable with it and I don't want to push. She's ok with porn, so long as I don't know the 1/2

If your addictive tendencies are a problem you can see a therapist to help you manage them.

Tried for alcohol. 90's gifted kid here. Smart enough I'm cynical about therapists, but smart enough to also know that's dumb

I'm not saying just talking about the problem will fix it but it can help with symptoms and might help you find an underlying cause.

I appreciate the support. My dad always pushed therapy to fix us when he was the problem. I have a respect/hate relationship with them

That's why I come to this site. No other group is so supportive to the community

What makes you think you have a porn addiction? Is it interfering with you life, relationships or responsibilities?

Nah, I just put it on everytime I go put for a cigarette. It's like Netflix... More time Looking at what's there than watching one thing

So you are just watching it without doing… other things? Why?

Oh I do that too! Don't get me wrong. But after a couple of times things get raw. Gotta take a break before calluses form

Do what you got to do, but if it starts to be a bigger issue then you may need some help to curb it.

Oh I know it. Im sure it's a boredom/lack of physical activity (I'm extremely hyper from moment I wake till moment I sleep).
