    Bonjour,

    I cannot resist more than 3 days! I am keeping resetting and resetting. Good thing is that after almost every time I have some new notions, new triggers recognized, behaviour to change etc. But I am so WEAK at going against thoughts leading to watching some vids and masturbate! Why!?

    It's not even about the triggers, most of the time I am not being triggered by the external cause but "internal" auto-thoughts! I think I have recognized a chain leading to pmo. First, it's some loose almost sub-conscious thoughts that I am putting aside (or not), then my mind (me? my ego? my sub-personality? who?) starts to think more and more but not aggressive at all. I think some broken part of me tries to make a plan leading to pmo. First, one text, then some memory appears, then one picture, then sth else, then I enter google pictures, then youtube and boom after some while I am CONSCIOUSLY watching some girls twerking and masturbate...

    Well, yesterday I failed again but AT LEAST I managed to create some "space" around an urge. I have started to think and feel what is the feeling, what is the need, why I want to see some pictures. An urge disappear quickly but another one quickly followed and I could not resist anymore... I am standing tight and I am looking forward to a new day BUT I cannot understand how come I am so weak and my willpower is some weak, too! Go, GO willpower, grow :D

As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high"

    Just keep trying man, I’ve been trying to do this shit for like 2 years and continuously relapsed. Never more than a 2 week streak. But my porn consumption has been massively reduced. The type of porn I watch has been normalised. This time I feel like is gonna be the time I smash the 90 days (day 6 right now).

    Cold turkey is the best and fastest way to recover. But if you reduce the amount it will help and eventually make it easier to quit.

    Keep going!
