    Hi all im a 31 years old male. Ive been hooked on porn for the last 19 years and for the last 3 years i ve been struggling to give up porn. I ve tried therapy twice for this issue but without too much succes.the longest i ve gone without was 37 days and the relapses give me severe depression. I ve never had sex and i ve only been in 1 (troublesome) relationship.apart from fantasizing about porn i also have a problem with daydreaming which doesnt help at all.the main issue is that apart from porn my willpower is also pretty weak in other aspects of my life.i hope some of you can give me some suggestion of what adjustments i can make to overcome this problem. Thank you

    First of all, welcome!
    A few suggestions to start off:
    Keep a journal in the relevant section of the forums.
    Try looking for an accountability partner.
    Read success stories.
    Start developing good habits - you can find tips on the subject in the forums. For example: exercise, meditation, writing, art, etc.
    Good luck!

    Try reading "The Willpower Instinct" by Kelly Mcgonigal. Teaches a lot about what causes us to lose willpower and how to strengthen it. Includes many different methods. Also teaches a very basic kind of meditation: 5 daily minutes (or more, if you want) of sitting either cross legged or on a chair, hands on your lap and just concentrate on your breathing. According to her research, even if you find that your mind often wanders during the meditation, your willpower will still rise over time.
    I hope this'll be helpful for you. Again, search the forums for more ideas.
    Here's a link to a thread with some meditation ideas: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/meditation-techniques.197155/#post-1706597
    Plus there are more things in the forums.
    Good luck!
