hi and thanks for looking. To keep things short i've been trying to stop porn for over 10 years and still haven't got to 90 days, 43 being the best i've done. I guess as a young person i've simply grown up from the ages of 14-24 with porn being my sexual outlet which i understand wires porn into you as your bodies sexuality which had made nofap extremely difficult nigh on impossible. My problem though is my use of my iphone. I've got k9 installed on my computer and i know how to prevent the hack for k9 to get you round it. The real problem is having the phone there as it's always there and i can't get a stupid phone as i need it for work purposes (personal phone but need features it has like email). Now i can normally get through mon-thur absolutely no problem only slipping up if i'm extremely emotional or stressed out which i'm working on. The problem though is come friday it all breaks down and i end up relapsing off my phone. It's not even my conscious mind making the choice though it seems to be so ingrained that my subconscious takes over and i'll just be sat browsing the internet then bam auto pilot kicks in and i'm checking the phone for porn like a hypnotized zombie. I'd really like to ask people in there 20's that have grown up with this poison like me does it get to a point where you just don't get the urges anymore and can have technology without restrictions in place or will i always have this problem in my life no matter how far i go? I'd also like to ask people does the attraction to the opposite sex finally level out the further you go? at my point in life dating would ruin me but come 20+ days in i start to want a girlfriend and go out and date which would honestly destroy my career and financial progression which is what i'm focusing on. sorry about the wall of text so here's a cliff note: will getting far on nofap make urges vanish for both porn and girls? many thanks.
yeah i wish i hadn't discovered it either, i don't think the mention of the file name is gonna harm people but it's been removed just incase.
yeah i had the idea to delete the internet key on my phone then leave the key card in my gym locker which has the password on. Question is trying to figure out how to prevent windows from showing the internet key under connections.
Hey there, Hope you are good brother. I've been addicted to porn for the better part of 22 years, with the last two years realizing that I have a problem and attempting to quit. The best thing I ever did whilst quitting was to get rid of my phone. Completely. I got a £13 phone which literally only texts and calls, nothing else. No picture messages, no internet access. I also asked my partner to password protect my laptop, now I only use it whilst she is in the house. As well as it restricting my access to porn, I also discovered how addicted to social media I had become. The loss was tough at first but I truly think that if you are serious about quitting, getting rid of something that allows you to carry porn round in your pocket is a great way to start. I know I found it tough at first but you do get used to it pretty quick. As for your question about urges - I've not found that I get less urges, but I HAVE started to notice them, recognize them for the lies they really are, and deal with them in a positive way. Best of luck to you my friend. We're all going to beat this together.
