    So I'm an 18 yo male, I struggle with porn, meaning specifically images with women skimpy dressed. Used to be full on porn but I've managed to beat that (pun intended). At first I wanted to stop these behaviors for religious reasons, but now I want to for that and other reasons. Mainly to have the self control to do so, and the health benefits of abstaining. I started my life of mastubation at 15. Porn was only a part for about 8 months between 16-17. I have managed to abstain from PMO a couple times. Each about a month or two, then relapse. I've decided, because my life is changing a lot more, that I really need to stop this habit, as it doesn't serve me, I serve it. I want to have the freedom of self control. So my goal right now is to make it till Pascha (Easter) this year. But overall I'm trying to eliminate it. I just don't want to be so ambitious that I am garenteed to fail and become demotivated. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Currently my biggest motivation is becoming sexually healthy for my gf (and future wife) and to have the self control so I can have more self confidence in myself. I also pray about it, I'm catholic. Byzantine catholic. Again, advice, prayers, related stories. It all helps. Thanks for reading if you're here, I really appreciate it!

    Welcome, Mr GoodVibes.

    Congrats on your decision to kick the habit. I think your idea of starting with a small, reachable goal is definitely the way to go (so you don't get overwhelmed). Once you make it to that goal, set another one. And keep doing that. Keep reminding yourself of why you are doing this, and keep pushing forward.

    I'm glad you're here and I hope to see you around the forums and don't hesitate to ask anyone here for advice (most of us are happy to help).

This is the mindset needed to fight the difficulties in this journey. It's personal development. Set timer and start writing jouranl in reboot log.
