    Day 3 - Success! I had some struggle and started to edge! I immediately got up did some military presses and played some LoL.

    Day 4 - the force is strong.. Night is coming up and it is the hardest part. any suggestions?
    I am currently trying to go to bed at a set time, and use special glasses that block the visible blue light spectrum (makes everything look like candle light) and F.lux on my PC which blocks the spectrum of visible light that inhibits melatonin (stuff that makes you sleepy) production.

    When does it get easier to resist the urges? and does it ever go away your desire to PMO?

    Thanks for reading,
    NP-T7

    It doesn't necessarily get easier. It is just that you get used to the urges. For some that might take as long as two months where as for others they are good after 3 weeks. One or the other, you are always on the point of relapsing when you are trying to quit. So no matter how many days go by, always be aware that the urges are there. Unless you can replace the urges with something, like a sex partner, it will always be there.

    Don't fight the urges. Do something constructive. Take a freezing cold shower. Eat something healthy. Exercise. Anything.

    Okay, so if I get an urge, I should immediately do something constructive or something in place of that.

    Just challenge yourself to do different things. One thing that helps me is blocking search engines altogether with K9 and throwing away the password. Another thing is monitoring the time of my computer usage. K9 also let's you customize the settings of when you can access the internet. I personally block the internet from 11:30pm to 8:00am. And lastly, anything that CAN BE USED as porn IS porn. This includes Facebook, YouTube, wikipedia, Netflix, etc. If you're serious about ending this addiction, install software immediately and actively try to outwit that horny, future version of you that will try to bypass the current you's filters.
