I have been trying to quit porn for many many years now. I tried to quit porn and masturbation but I keep falling back to my old habits. I have gone the last 46 days without porn. The last time I watched it I told myself that I can masturbate as much as I need to but that porn is off the table. I have wanted to quit both and still do but I realized that porn is way worse and quitting both at the same time is extremally difficult. So I decided to exclusively focus on quitting porn and to not let that filth cloud my brain anymore. The first couple of weeks were a bit weird but I got used to it quickly. I am able to get off without porn. I also realized that I don't need to masturbate all the time. I average once every couple of days. I think sometimes that I would want to masturbate as an excuse to watch porn. But since porn was off the table I just felt like masturbating less. Now I am at the point that I don't even miss watching porn. I have no desire to watch it. It is poison for the brain and serves me no good purpose. Maybe I am celebrating too early since I still masturbate, but to me this feels like a major accomplishment. I only made it this far a few other times and it was painful. That is because I was also not masturbating and all I could think about was watching porn. Eventually I would cave into my desires. But now I don't have those desires so there is nothing to cave into. I think I am going to cut down on my masturbation now and maybe at some point give it up all together. Anyways, that's all I have for today. Thank you if you've read the whole thing.
