    Hi, I'm new here. I have been here for about two or three weeks but I have been without P for two months, what do you recommend to leave the PM? It is a difficult fight, but not impossible.
    I recently went two weeks without M, but I reset the counter.
    thanks.

    Welcome
    Please, start studying carefully what's happening in your mind > https://oceanrecoverycentre.com/2016/07/the-ultimate-guide-to-overcoming-internet-porn-addiction/

    First time without porn will be stressful , but if you resist , in some months you will feel reborn.

    If the first times a person relapse easly, it's okay.
    The streaks becomes even longer , day by day.
    Don't porn anymore, it's better to struggle and at the last to relapse than to look at porn.
    No more instagram pictures of models. No more erotic imagines , erotic stories or erotic asmr.
    If you experience ''flatline'' and low libido , resist.

    We should improve in all area of our life, just being dissatisfied or stressed makes us relapse.

    An effective weapon to overcome urges and thoughts : mindfulness.
    The brain will try to win you and to get some triggers for the seek of dopamine. Resist

    Are you having sex?
    If so, are you orgasming?

    Hi there DonBenito,

    Fall down 7 times, get up 8. Or 8000. Keep getting up. You're right, it is possible.

    I find it helpful to think of things to be grateful for each day, big and small. Maybe it's gratitude for someone you know, or something you've completed, or something out in nature, or the fact that people can share smiles, tears, and conversations. Somehow being grateful for things like that helps us remember that there's more to life than PMO, that we can do things other than PMO, that we are not defined by our struggles..

    Big thing is to actually expect urges and plan calming strategies to manage, rather than just hoping urges won't happen. You're probably doing that already. Remind yourself of your strategies relatively often, to strengthen your resolve in the moment of an urge. And remember that your perseverance and patience will help you to become a more loving, generous, selfless person.

    I wrote some strategies on my journal, have a read if you want. If they don't help, there's heaps of good advice around here anyway. Gratitude + Reasons not to PMO :)

    All the best!
