    Today is my third day no PMO. Since I started trying to quit porn and rewire my brain, I have found that day 3 has been the most difficult. If I can get through this night (I will be busy doing homework) then hopefully I can go on a nice streak. My longest without pmo is 10 days, and I wish to add to that. My goal is a full 2-3 month reboot, and to never watch porn again. I have seen porn affect my life by giving me erectile dysfunction with a girl I really liked (I am 17). I need to harness this frustration/anger into motivation to quit and start real relationships with women. Tomorrow I have a very busy day filled with school and 2 hockey games, so If I can get through tonight I know that I can get through tomorrow. I find that the days get easier as they go by. When I was on day 10 a couple weeks ago, I was watching tv and saw an add with a women who looked like a porn star I have seen. For the next hour or so I couldn't get the image of her out of my head. I took a short run and even did pushups, but nothing could get my mind off of porn. I relapsed that night and since then I haven't been able to go on a long streak. Looking for some motivation/ comments please share your thoughts, thanks.

    Keep fighting. You will get where you wanna get if you don't give up.

    LGR44 - maybe next go on the forum and talk about the urge/challenge before you relapse. Writing it out and getting some feedback can really help you overcome the urge.

    Also, do you have an AP? Having an AP might help out a lot in a situation like that. You can talk to the person about it before you relapse. And you know that if you do relapse, your going to have to tell someone about it that day and take responsibility. Often the thought of having to explain to someone that you screwed up is enough motivation to not screw up.
