19 y/o suffering from PMO

Hello everyone!
I am 19, and I’ve been watching porn since 2015. I’ve tried multiple times to get rid of PMO but in vain. In fact, I’ve tried so many times in so many ways that now I feel exhausted! But one of the few times I’ve had success is when I was in this forum!
I wouldn’t say I am completely new here. I used NoFap last year and it worked wonderfully for me, I had a 73 day streak, which was the highest in my life.
But due to my studies and other circumstances, I didn’t have a smartphone with me and had to quit NoFap.
In the past year, I’ve surely improved, I’ve been able to understand the bad effects of Porn by reading Fight The New Drug and other sites. I have grown a kind of hatred towards porn and porn usage has decreased a lot.

But the thing is, it hasn’t gone away. Without this community support, it’s so hard to control myself!

I still can’t control my masturbating. Although I don’t watch porn like before, I am still watch erotic content sometimes, and masturbating to that pretty often.

I don’t want this addiction to be in my life. I have a girlfriend now, we started in July, and I don’t want this beautiful person to suffer for my compulsive behaviour.

I’ve recently read ‘The Power of Habit’ by Charles Duhigg, and it states that to transform a habit, community support and belief is very, very important. So I need you guys. Please pray for me and help me reach my goals.

I am opposed to setting lofty goals because I’ve failed so many times. So my initial goal is to stay away from PMO for 30 days, join a community, write journals and help other guys. Please pray for me, and offer suggestions!

So here we begin! Day 1 and counting!

 

Thank you so much :’)
