Why???

See me days can be very easy. But others i need to really d3sire to avoid temptation

 

Not sure about the strategy you used, but you could be right. I have a similar experience, but my quitting was more a realisation rather than a "let's try".

I read "Your brain on porn" and that explained so many of my negative aspects of my life that I got shocked. First week was hard and wanted to see a pic or two here and there on the web. But after the 4th week I can say that I didn't think of it, I reassigned most of the time to other endeavours.

So yeah, it's become much much easier.

 

Well in spite of how much time people put into rebooting sometimes it sounds like they don't really change up their strategy, and I think if you are in fact working on self improvement then it will also get easier by virtue of having better tools and strategies to deal with it.

So yes there's the flatline and the biological process, but I think if we play it smart it can be like we are getting smarter than the temptations out there. While there is certainly an effort that ends up tempting us, even if it shows up in indirect ways in the culture like a newspaper ad for swimsuits, say, we can be prepared. I was thinking of a Rube Goldberg machine - except whereas it is traditionally this long indirect route to accomplish a certain task, it's like we end up having a lot of tricks to stop the action from being completed, if we pay attention at least half way through the process.
