Hello everyone, I am a 23 years old guy and I have a passion for personal growth. I am here because I tried to quit porn, masturbation and unnatural sexual behaviour for 7 months now and I have not been successful. Several things I have tried in order to block myself access to malicious websites. I installed K9 web protection software, set up a very strong password and stored it on my university account only. Then I found out I could access my university account through an online portal, allowing me to retrieve the password and thus circumvent the protection. Even before this circumvention, in desperate times I used my mobile phone to access porn, and it is hard to block websites on mobile phones. Yesterday I once again indulged in watching porn and I wish to end this addiction once and for all. I know it's a dopamine addiction. I know this because in the last 7 months I succesfully quit two other addictions: cigarettes and marijuana. This is the third pillar if you will. Not only do I indulge in watching porn, but since puberty I have been engaged in "edging" by talking to girls online in private chats and talking dirty with them. This is a very big problem for me, because I almost always find a girl interested in talking dirty with me, thus making it very easy for me to get these dopamine shots. This goes into all that I stand for, because I want to live a healthy life and become master over my emotions and body. Moreover, I want to desexualize my life, as I want to focus on building my life. My final goal is to quit porn, masturbation and edging with girls on the internet completely, that means forever. Now to remain realistic, I set my goal at 30 days first and I hope that I can find the support and subject literacy to be successful. Wish me good luck.
