How do you start the process and break out the cycle

By practicing...Insomnia is part of the recovery process.

I had bad sleep for the first couple of months and now it's almost all better.

You have to work through it

 

Lot's of things go into it, for example, are you keeping yourself busy? If not then find something new to try like if you don't read much, go find a book, take a cooking class etc.

Are you working or studying now btw?

What i find for me to work is to keep myself busy, i write down an agenda on what im going to do, whether its to working out and going to the gym, cleaning my room/closet or reorganizing stuff. Like for example right now im working on a big essay and instead of always sitting at home i go to a coffee shop or someplace else to change up the atmosphere. Also right before bed, i read a chapter from a book, right now it's ''Brothers Karamazov'' i recommend it if you haven't read it.

Also, an extra tip would be to tell a close friend that you are trying to quit pmo and tell him that if you relapse, you'll have to pay him like 10 or 15 dollars (you decide how much of course)

 

1.Change your attitude towards NoFap.
2.Think about all the benefits that you're missing out while masturbating.
3.Think about all the time that's being wasted while you're beating your meat and spending hours on some random porn sites.
4.Think about ways you can improve yourself and your own life.
5.Find some new hobbies that you're interesting at.
6.Start to communicate with people and to approach girls.
(It'll help you with your social anxiety and it will boost your confidence)

 

Reading a book when laying down to sleep can help a lot.

 

I realized today (with the help of Youtuber GoldJacketLuke) that when you watch porn, you are (usually) watching someone else have sex, i mean if you think about that... it's actually so wrong and weird because intercourse is meant to be private between two couples.
