Hello everyone, i am addicted to porn and i am finding it extremely hard to quit. In the past, i went on a 5 month streak. However, now i am finding it very hard to quit again, and bring my life back to normal. The time, when i went on a no pmo streak, i noticed unbelievable benefits, which ultimately changed my life. Ive already got a post on this, in my past accounts; however, I've been trying to quit For 2 and a half months, since my life has gone to shit again. I need to quit this addiction, so that i am more successful and at my full potential. Seeing the differences now, i can tell how dramatically porn impacts you, in a detrimental way. I need help.plz.
Pro tip: Make is as hard and risky as possible to view porn. Disable incognito, have someone trusted monitor your phone or history, block as much as possible. Then just fully invest yourself in a hobby you find really cool.
5 months.. that's amazing. If you did that once.. than you can do that again!!! But this time you will go even further. Let's quit for good!!
I had a similar experience with achieving a long streak before returning to porn. It took me a year of mediocre streaks to realize that I needed to do something more drastic. If you really want to quit again, remember that the first two weeks (20 days even) are by FAR the most difficult for most people. I tried putting all my computers in storage for a few weeks and found success getting to day 25 or so before trying to have a computer around again. Take whatever measures are necessary, if that means putting your phone, TV or computer at a friend's house so be it. It sure as hell worked for me. It's too powerful of an addiction for more comfortable solutions. Superpowers are worth the sacrifice and after those first couple weeks it's a lot easier to find enjoyable alternatives to the habit. Also remember (if you find yourself dreading a streak) that your overall amount happiness doesn't really decrease on a streak- it will just be distributed more effectively throughout the day as opposed to happening all at once during PMO time. I used to think of PMO as a "freebie" and I thought that "a day without porn/mo is a day wasted" ..... Now I see that it was making me satisfied with a life I wasn't satisfied with at all. Run like hell from artificial satisfaction. Do whatever it takes.
