I think I cant Control it Anymore

Hey CH.

You CAN do it. You KNOW that looking at porn will be the WRONG thing to do and that staying TRUE to your decision will the RIGHT one and that it will bring you lots of BENEFITS.

It's difficult (hell, I'm struggling to get beyond a week), but you CAN do it. Focus on the positives that you'll gain as a result of staying on the right path and find something engaging, creative and useful to do until the urge passes.

Have you tried urge surfing? A lot of guys find it helpful:

And this famous post from another site is always inspiring:

I wish you peace and strength, my friend. You'll be fine!

 

Ah! Good luck @Cute Hipster! Try to redirect the energy somewhere else - exercise like crazy or something! Meditate! Let your body completely relax! YOU CAN DO IT DON'T GIVE IN NOW YOU'RE DOING SO WELL!!!

 

@Cute Hipster Whenever when you want to quit REMEMBER why you started !!

 

yea I went through the same thing just before ending my streak on day 60 something,do not watch anything that turns you on,I thought of maybe relieving myself through watching porn and pics without O ,it worked for a few days but one day it happened finally,but unlike you I didn't had a 365 day target,take cold shower,meditate ,exercise,run till it exhausts you....thats the best I have for you

 

Looking at pics and watching clips is worse than masturbation. You always have a choice - make the right choice!

 

This will not end your urges my friend, this will make your urges to blow your load a lot higher than what they are. Do you want to fail or succeed ? Choose one

 

Your urges will not go away if you look at pornography. What will happen is that dopamine will get released in your brain - the pleasure chemical, but your brain will not be satisfied with that. You will crave more and more stimulation via the images and videos and your craving to have an orgasm will get so big, you will be even more horny than you are now. Eventually, you will not be able to control yourself because the only way stop, as it were, would be to masturbate and cum to those images and videos. I know that is not your intention, but that is the inevitable outcome. You have done 8 weeks of the challenge, don't lose it now. Stay vigilant and don't give in to any type of porn!

 

Play football.... or join a gym ....it will help I guess

 

You are stronger and wiser than those urges, CH. They pass. Sometimes actively fighting them makes them stronger - you're focussing on them. Check out the "urge surfing" technique, it really works.

 

Don't do it mate! It won't help your urges, it will only make them much worse. There's no other way it can happen.

What's happening right now is that your urges are causing your brain to try and justify it. You know what the right choice is for your success. Don't throw 2 months down the drain and start over!

 

Do not look at images or videos! P sub is just as bad, you have to allow yourself time to get those out of your head. Every time you look you put in fresh material that will just take that much longer to get out of your head!

 

Cute Hipster.....if u feel the urge is overtaking you do meditation for half an hour at least before getting to bed. Try to think about blank at that moment. It really helps trust me.

 

where can one learn to meditate properly,thinking blank isnt easy
