Self confession

Of course there is. I'm 25 years old as well. Started watching porn around the same time and I'm still struggling to quit. Everyday I'm fighting but you have to learn from your mistakes. See why you pmo in the first place.

I'm sure you'll make it. Keep learning about yourself and see pmo for what it truly is ... poison to the mind.

Stay clean. Best wishes

 

Brother, we are all in the same boat trying to cross that stormy sea. Yes, it's a tough journey where the path is rough, but patience is the key. You've got to have a marathon mentality to overcome this. And, the same goes for us. But, the good thing is that there is definitely hope at the end of the tunnel. Many people have overcome this affliction. If they can do this, why can't we? We can and we will.

 

What strategies are you using to combat PMO?

 

See PMO as the worse enemy you have ever had, because it is. See yourself in a war against PMO, because you are. Now, every day you are PMO free, you have won a battle against the enemy. Don't look at attempting to reach or past 50 days, see yourself in a war and each day is a victory, because it is. Allow each victory add up and soon you will have won the war.

 

Here is a growing collection of startup strategies compiled from myself and I've added some from others on NoFap. Keep these in mind. This is by no means a be-all-end-all list of suggestions but it is a list for you to use and add to for yourself and modify to meet your needs.

1. Delete all of the P that you have from your computer and smartphone including the browser history and cookies. This will not stop you but will slow you down.
2. Identify your triggers. What are the things that you happening in your world to cause you to turn to PMO for escape and comfort! This is the most crucial step in the process.
3. Once your triggers are identified, determine healthy ways of dealing with those triggers such as exercise, running, leaving the stressful situation and going outside for air.
   
4. Go to http://yourbrainonporn.com/ to learn more about the effect PMO has on you. Do this also to educate yourself on the damage you are doing to yourself.
5. Guard your eyes. Be careful of what you allow yourself to see. No, you cannot live with your eyes closed but you can determine how long you look at something.
6. Masturbation... do not keep your hands to yourself. Unless you are bathing, changing your underwear or actually using the bathroom, your hands should be nowhere near your penis. YOU ARE BANNED FROM TOUCHING YOUR PENIS FOR RECREATION!!!
7. Your bed is limited to only the time you are sleeping. No laying in bed other than that. As soon you awake, you should get out of bed. Can't sleep, if awake for more than a few minutes, get out of bed until you are sleepy enough to go to sleep.
8. Keep doors open unless necessary. You need to be isolated as little as possible. You're less likely to M when people can see you.
9. Keep curtains and blinds open as much as possible. Similar reason as above and also allows light inside. Many time M'ing is more likely in dark places.
10. At night, keep lights on as often as possible. Similar to above, lights on may lessen your desire to fap.
11. If you are a naked sleeper or a boxer sleeper, consider sleeping in a in jockstrap, cup or briefs or compression shorts, something more constrictive so that you are less likely to feel movement while falling asleep or when awaking. They may provide a better barrier to prevent those that subconsciously reach for their penis at night or in the morning. They may also be a visual barrier for those that have morning erections too irresistible to not touch.
    
12. Begin a journal so that others can encourage you and connect with you.
13. Become active in this community. The more active you are, the less time you will spend focused on you. The less time focused solely on you, the faster time goes. There is an old saying, "a watched pot of water doesn't boil any faster", which means for this example, focusing solely on yourself and your issues won't make them go away sooner. It's OK to track progress but when spending more time doing other things that were once important to you and encouraging others, you will notice the time of your sobriety will go so much faster than if you didn't.

This a journey. Unless you began your addiction yesterday, don't expect to have complete victory by tomorrow. It takes time. We are here for you for as long as it takes.

 

Find other ways to deal with boredom.

 

death grip is when you squeeze too much your penis and the skin becomes flaccid and loses sensitivity. Most probably isn't your case if you're not abusing, or doing prone masturbation.

Remember to follow what @D. J. posted, he gave you good advice.

 

Congratulations on your progress.

 

Please do!
