I am starting to like to watch porn.. It is becomimg appealing in the mind again. Would you help me realise i shouldnt please?
Hi @innermostheart It is a big step if you can understand what is triggering your urges, because this will allow you to be awake and kill those urges as soon as they appear. I recommend you to create your own "Emergency Toolbox" with readings that can be handy to read when you start feeling urges to screw up. I can share this post with you with my own Emergency Toolbox, it helped me a lot during the first few months, i had them in my cell and read them every time I started falling down: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.p...y-first-320-days-of-reboot.62938/#post-473978 I wrote some tips in this post that perhaps will help you too: http://NoFap.com/forum/index.php?threads/tips-that-helped-me-to-start-my-reboot.46617/#post-330318 You can watch some interesting videos which are also very helpful in this post: http://nofap.com/forum/index.php?th...t-help-me-a-lot-during-my-reboot.39774/page-2 I also suggest you to read "Breaking the Cycle" by George Collins, it is a must-read if you are serious about getting rid of this addiction. To get more focus and feel happier with life I recommend you to start doing meditation.. I have been using an App called Headspace for the last two months which is great if you have never meditated before. The first 10 sessions are free if you want to give a try. I used to feel a bit depressed or feeling without energy to start new projects in my life, and meditation has helped me a lot with this. Last but not least, I would strongly recommend you to take the NoFap Academy course if you can afford it. The course is great but the best value are the weekly video calls with @alexander (the creator of NoFap and NoFap Academy) and Mark Queppet, where you can chat with them in real life and listen to other guys's stories and problems too. I hope that all this helps you to fight this shitty addiction. Let's keep on fighting Fercho

Man may i ask you something please reply... You said you were on 1000 days plus streaks.. And then u relapsed? Man more than 3 years? Man was that not enough to be completely healed? Man i'd like to ask if you may share, what took you again to relapse? Please i want to know what happened... It scares me and i want to avoid it..
@innermostheart , this is a fight for the rest of our lives. As the alcoholic that cannot enter a bar never again because he can start drinking, or a guy who quit cigar and cannot even smoke one. We become “rehab addicts or former addicts” but the “Gremlin” stays inside and we need to be alert every day. In my case, my wife is going through her menopause and she does not want to have sex, so after 3 months of no sex I was too horny. Plus our relationship is not in the best time right now because she is depressed. But you should look at this in a different perspective l as I do: I could stay 3 years without PMO, when before Inwas a severe addict doing it 4-5 times per day during 40 years. I had one reset after that and I am now back in the fight. It is always better to look to the half filled bottler instead of the half empty Staybstrong Fercho
Thank you for sharing and answring. I learned that we need to fight porn addiction everyday.... I think everyday i or we must have a plan on what we would do. I like that you said to look at it half full... instead of half empty. Like look at the positive side... I had 4 months of pmo free then multiple relapse after.... And i fell down so hard that i could not get up easily... Thank you
One relapse will keep you in the midst of a heap of shit and misery. It's a continual circle of crap unless you pull yourself out and start taking recovery seriously.
Sometimes you just have to ask yourself what you would want to think back on at the end of your life. I had a lifelong pornography addiction... Or. I fought the challenge of pornography addiction and it never defeated me.
