My thoughts on PMO (non native speaker)

Hello Friends,

I am new to this forum and find it very positive that there is a worldwide community about this topic.

I think that the best approach to completely heal yourself apart from no pmo is to completely avoid using a computer or smartphone for 3-4 months. I started this 'ultra approach' and actually realized that internet addiction was the main problem and that porn was just an extension of it. And I think that this is true for most people since porn and internet have the same main mechanism. I tried this approach for myself for 60 days and the urges and withdrawal symptoms were intense. I had this constant feeling that I couldnt relax and find peace, I would wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning everyday, sleep quality was bad and I had this constant urge to open the computer and see 'whats going on', youtube, porn,email,news the same pattern over and over again. After ca. 60 days of no porn, internet or smartphone use I had transformed into another person. I would enjoy simple things in life like cooking, going for a walk, playing guitar, reading a book and being creative. My vision tremendously improved, my IQ as well and I could finally sleep like a baby. I was a happy person. And the good news, my erections were so full and satisfying. I realized that this method actually works. Unfortunately this thought and the fact that I didnt have a girlfriend back then to share my happiness made me relapse. Not only to porn but to computergames and internet as well. I think my biggest mistake back then was that I didn't socialize enough my hobbies, didn't join a band, a team or something like this.

I wish good luck to all of you, and just want to say that when you feel bad there is usually an addictive thought in the background that creates this bad emotion. Figure this thought or thoughts out and you will have already done a big step ahead.
