Soul crying

Triggers are everywhere. If you feel afraid of them, your life will be a nightmare. Try to stay away from P because it causes the strongest reaction. After some practice and some successes your self-esteem will increase. Building motivation against using P when you feel lonely, depressed or stressed is extremely hard but I believe it's possible. However, the trick is to close the door to P, and "normal" life will become more pleasant. But don't get overconfident, you are probably bound to fail many times. We make the same mistakes before the never-ending streak.

 

You may have a better chance of getting rid of PMO because you've been addicted for a shorter time. But it all depends on motivation and grit. It's hard to struggle with it singlehandedly. I know that firsthand. But you're not alone in this fight.

 

How long have you been addicted?

 

Not sure exactly. I started as a teenager but it wasn't regular. At some point it became a daily habit and a solution to low moods, stress etc.

 

How long have you been doing pmo stuff?

 

Two things ... Mindset ... you used the words "my brain" .. your Brian is part of you .. it does not have a mind of its own .. you OWN your brain and YOU are the master of your domain . The social anxiety exist because you need to prove to yourself that you are more powerful that your compulsion to use porn .. Listen addictions are real but this is really a compulsion .. Once I started looking at it as a bad HABIt and not an addiction it took the power away and it allowed me to get long streaks .. TRY THIS ......... 1st , you should have zero aches to porn on any device . that is step 1 .....
Next .. confide in a friend and tell them what they are trying to do ... 3rd ... tell yourself you're allowed to do anything but PMO ... literally ANYTHING {positive} in the world but PMO . LASTLY imagine a world where the government just got rid of all porn ... you have been transferred to a multi-versal world now where porn no longer is accessible or even exist ... you would naturally have to go through the process .... CREATE that world for yourself
