    I've been trying to quit for years and seen no success.
    I don't know how to stop this horrible addiction.
    I know quitting PMO will solve major problems in my life but I don't know how to solve this problem for good!
    I wish I would never come across this disgusting habit.

    You're making some pretty long streaks. What breaks them?
    I'm guessing you've read some of the mainstream quit-porn stuff like EP?
    What steps have you taken to limit your access to softcore and hardcore?

    Just blockers or meditations but I can't stay consistent. I quit after a few days from anything I do.

    How about contemplating this quote:

    “The more joyful you become, the less need for pleasure in your life. When you are not joyful there will be desperate activity, and compulsive sexuality is one of these.”

    I like it. In other words, I need to find my inner peace.
    Did I get it right?

    Really sorry for you man! Shit happens. Just don't fall on the chaser effect, if you slip, don't binge.
    In your signature you put : Life without the web- is the solution for me.

    ¿Could you try that? I mean, seriously. End your ISP contract, get a dumb phone. We use to live without internet until 15 years ago.
    If that's the price to pay to regain our mental health, maybe you should consider it.

    Wish you all the best dude.

    Why not ask yourself, "How can I become more joyful?" There are simple ways to start this work. After starting it becomes a question of patience, persistence and faith.

    1. I get out into nature (even a local a park) more often instead of being in a room all the time.
    2. Retention and transmutation of seminal fluid.
    3. A simple exercise involving the breath, body and thought.
     
  15. I am planning to force discipline in my life because I also stop things after a few days and it just makes me feel real lazy. Currently I'm being monitored by a friend, blocking things, doing cold showers, working out, and a strong dose of meditation every day. I think a major part is always asking yourself, how badly do you want to be a better person and what will this do to make my life better?

  16. Numbers 2 and 3 paired can be the most powerful thing really. Exercise has helped heaps.

    Would need to know more about you to be able to give some ideas.

    What do you enjoy doing? What are your center of interests? What is stressing you up or making you sad in your life right now? What is your main motivation to stop?

    Every answer to get out of this addiction depends on the individual.

    Anyway you had some streaks before so it means you're making progress, don't give up and get into self-loathing because what you're doing is harder than most people think and you're on the right path!

    thank you guys!
    I am 33 yo. I have been trying to quit since I was 25 yo.
    I am a school teacher in elementary school. I love playing bass and drawing.
    I workout a lot, almost everyday and started boxing recently.
    I decided to give up on relationship because I don't find any interest or benefit in it.

    Are we not yearning for something? Isn’t this yearning expressed through pmo?
