So, I am new here, and probably an idiot, but I can tell you what I've read on the site and a little of what I've experienced. I would add to your list:

Oops. Continued - Prayer, diet (healthier choices, but also including forms of fasting), and exercise. Exercise is huge in overcoming early urges and helping with good sleep. In terms of diet, I have found that alcohol has developed into a pretty big trigger for me over the years, so I am trying to cut back pretty severely. It seems like the most successful guys on here are eliminating P in the context of lifestyle changes.

Hi John,

Hi John, Yes I do not consume alcohol at all. Fasting will give it a try I am walking to some of my destinations. Also, what other lifestyles changes would you suggest?

I'd say be selective about what you read. I know it might seem innocuous, but it's the first skill we pick up and we use it indiscriminately - we consume a junk-food diet of written material (on paper and the web). I'd add to that - i'm terrible as a Tsundoku: someone who accumulates books way faster than he reads them - the thing is i'm seeking the solution in a book when the only book that suffices for the solution is the Bible. As it turns out i have been displacing the necessity of reading the bible for other written works.

I know it may seem tangential to avoiding pornography, but reading indiscriminately is a kind of mode-of-behaviour that slides into other forms of unwise consumption. The Very First Skill We Pick Up - Reading (& writing). The deluge of information in the information age has the side-effect of perpetually distracting us and de-prioritising what would otherwise have paramount importance.
