    I've been a member of this community for about 3 years. 3 years of trying, I feel like my improvement have been very slight to negligible. My longest streak was only 23 days. I hardly reached 7 days and above. This made me questioning myself, what's my real problem. Am I doing something wrong? Or am I not committed enough to quit? Deep inside I feel like there's still a dark side of me that still wants porn. And maybe deep inside, I want porn more than I want to quit porn.

    Can anyone give me some enlightenment on what holds me back from quitting porn and masturbation?

    No everyone thinks porn is part of who they are, but you have to accept the fact that it's gonna take atleast 90 to 120 days to fully heal, like if you still feel like shit after 3 weeks and you think that aaah maybe i should just do it again, but it's gonna take longer then 3 weeks, before relapse and during relapse you never realize it is a mistake, but BOOM just after that relapse you realize, shit I did the wrong thing, like during a short streak last year i had these bad head tension, and after a relapse the head tension was gone, so it clearly means it was withdrawals and if i pulled through a couple of days without relapse that head tension would have worn out,, I'm currently in my longest streak of 20 days and what made me come this far is by just being lazy, like most people do exercise and cold showers to help, but exercise and cold showers is commitment, and commitment leads to stress which lead to relapse, so just be lazy, and let's say after 30 days you start being creative
