I'm finally starting this for real! Gave this a couple of months a go, went strong for 6 days and then crumbled. "No matter, it's a start at least" I told myself before trying again. Two days go by this time before my brain convinces myself to just edge for a bit, I guess if you're on this site you probably know how that always ends as well… Since then I gave up, lack of willpower I guess, but then last night- after a 2 hour session- I seen a TEDx clip on porn and realise to myself "I need to stop for good this time". The benefits of quitting to me, and some of the inspiring stories I've read on this site seem, to me, too good to not strive for. I am coming up for my second year of medical exams in 2 months and I want to go until then focusing solely on these. PMO has been a far too frequent feature in my life for the last few years I am determined to use the time and focus I gain from quitting this to fulfil more satisfying, rewarding and successful ventures in my life! I feel quitting will benefit not only myself but others around me! Are there any tips you guys could give me for succeeding this time? Thanks for any help in advance, your new fellow fapstronaut!
