    Day 2/14

    I am just going to talk about the past month, because it has been my most successful month yet. I had not watched porn for 34 days. This is the longest I’ve gone without porn in my whole life I believe. Over the past month I have only MO 3 times. I went for 10 days and then relapsed, went for 8 days and then relapsed, and then went for 9 days and then relapsed. It seems like 8-10 is a huge wall for me to break through.

    On Friday night I PMO. Like I said it was the first time watching porn in a long time. I can definately now see why it is addicting, the dopamine rush is so real. The next day I feel like complete crap, am just tired all day, and don’t feel like doing anything.

    All of this is good progress for me compared to how much I used to PMO. I really want to quit for good, but the urges are tough.

    If anyone has any good advice I’d love to hear it!

    This is exactly what happens to me when i fap; the next day is a complete 0. I dont watch porn anymore though: that was easy 4 me to ignore. I don't even use porn blockers tbh. I can't give any advice on P for that very reason because quitting it kinda came naturally to me. I mean, when u think about it: madison ivy, riley reid, mia khalifa, melanie rios and all the other pornstars for that matter are just the same really. Another day- another blowjob, another fuck. Then another cycle starts. It's utter bs for me.
    As for M, i can say a good few things on that. My current streak is my longest too ( 19 days). Dags 6-8 are hard, yes. That's because of the testosterone rush guys get at the 7 day mark of no M and O. The only way out is to fight it head on (if you have the willpower to throw around, like i do) or escape it by getting busy with anything or ofc- cold showers, meditation and exercise. Days 16-18 have been very hard 4 me, since i'm one of those willpower guys, but i've been pulling through relatively easily. Hope you can do the same. Personally, overpowering M and O with willpower is much more satisfying to me as compared to an easy escape. But then- this post is about you. Do whatever suits u brother. If you relapse- never binge, just move on. It is all part of the process. Best of luck on your journey! May the force be with u ;)

    Hey Adam, I’m 7 days in from my addiction that I’ve had for over 15 years. It’s really not easy. I see a girl in a bikini and I feel myself starting to want to drop straight back into porn. It’s the first time I’ve given up porn and it’s tough. Stay strong brother it’s for the greater good.
