What if I hadn't?...
Devin McDermott
7 years ago, I made what was undoubtedly my best decision ever.
A decision that has been more fundamental and has had a greater impact on my trajectory and my entire person than anything else I've done.
But it wasn't easy.
Because to make quitting porn my #1 priority...
I had to first admit that something was wrong.
And I'd always been the type who thought guys speaking out against the damages and evils of pornography were just Boomers stuck in their ways.
But as it turns out, they were right.
Divorces are much more common among porn users, and even without divorce, overall relationship satisfaction is reportedly much lower. No one talks about it, but porn-induced erectile problems are extremely common for porn users too. And it damages self-esteem, mental clarity, motivation, emotional stability and more because it is essentially a super-power digital drug that damages the brain on a similar level to something like cocaine.
It's actually crazy.
It should be illegal.
But instead anyone can get it anywhere anytime and in 3 seconds flat.
... and sometimes I wonder how my life would have turned out if I hadn't decided to change.
If I hadn't swallowed my pride and had the humility to reach out for help when I needed it.
Because, to be clear, I did need it.
I tried quitting porn alone for years and was still relapsing every 5ish days on average.
It was frankly agonizing to have my personal growth put "on hold" while I tried to figure this thing out, but was just spinning my wheels until I realized I couldn't get this job done alone... or at least, not within a timeframe I was willing to accept, because I'd already wasted years of intimacy and potential on this miserable shyt and I didn't want to take the next who-knows-how-many years to figure it out.
So, just like I urge you to do, I reached out to someone like me for help.
It felt uncomfortable.
It felt revealing.
It felt like.. admitting defeat, in a way, because I was failing to do it on my own.
But if I hadn't made that hard decision?
5 years later...
I'd probably still just be doing... good enough.
Knowing I wanted to excel and really realize my potential, to thrive as a man... but falling short.
Dealing with the kinds of problems in the bedroom that were crushing my soul and preventing me from connecting more deeply with women.
And have wasted a shit load more of my precious time.
Instead, with help, I successfully quit nearly 5 years ago.
That's 1800+ days ago.
And in that time, instead of repeating the same old patterns and staying more or less stuck, I've continually evolved as a person and completely transformed my life.
So this isn't just some pitch.
I practice what I preach.
I needed an expert's help to quit this crap.
Then, when I knew I finally had it locked down and could massively help others, I turned around and became the expert. And after years of experience spending 2500+ hours helping men from every different background successfully quit porn... I've become one of the world's best resources on this relatively little-known topic where it can be incredibly hard to find actual good advice.
It fulfills me immensely to reach into guys' lives and help them change something so fundamentally toxic and see how their entire trajectory changes in real time.
And you could be next.
