    First thing I would like to do is thank Alexander and everyone associated with this site for your time and efforts in trying to address PMO. I am hopeful that this site can change my life.

    I have been fighting PMO since I was 12 or so. Fifty years later the struggle continues. I have tried multiple approaches; counseling, SA, For Men Only, Covenant Eyes, etc. It has been exhausting. I am now retired and am faced with much more alone time which has always been a major trigger. For me it has always been a private, fantasy based process. I have never taken it outside my home. I am ready to take the 1st step and reboot. I look forward to getting assistance from this community.

    Thank you for taking the time to send this to me. It is a well thought out list. Many of the items are not new to me after 50 yrs of this addiction. I will definitely use this to motivate.

    I'm 47, and first saw porn around 40 years ago. Struggled in my early teens, found the internet at age 30. It has been a monkey on my back for a lifetime, and thr internet accelerated it.

    Pornography led me to objectify women, and led me to waste a lot of time.

    But - I am now 120 days without PMO. (porn, masturbation, orgasm). I'm not struggling to get through it either , - I'm free. I can handle the urges when they do hit, because I know how to direct them.

    My struggle now is different- I'm struggling with life- and what I put off for life - but each day I rebuild the life that I set aside for so many years.

    HOPE!!!!

    Thanks for sharing. It is a challenge for those of us who have been at it for so long. Great to hear from someone who has 120 days. It is doable. Agreed it has been such a huge waste of time, time we can now use for much better purposes.
