    Still struggling with a feedback loop of the chaser effect. Starting to log successes & failures to help build resistances and good habits.

    I'm retarded. I need to figure out a better strategy at saying no to any form of softcore/provocative images or videos

    New insight: idleness and boredom are my weaknesses that lead me to brain fog and being susceptible to seeking out functional softcore P. I am beginning to make a list of tasks I can do whenever I have free time and am tempted. I'll have to refine the list over time to make sure they are tasks that I will actually be willing to do to get me out of a malaise.

    Right now, I'm in my danger period of 4-5 days w/out PMO. I historically have a good record to make it around 2 weeks if I make it 6 days. A day at a time, Lord.

    Starting the fourth month here, I have found it difficult to engage with the community, which isn't surprising given my temperaments.

    Hence my movement to my profile page as a personal log. Plan to list all sources of temptations, and what failures and successful strategies I've found to hopefully strategically find better routes than just memory and instinct. If someone happens to read this, feel free to add your thoughts.

    Relapse: looking through steam friends, finding an account with a provocative profile pic, then viewing his library to enviously confirm prejudices - hypocritically, looking for the content I sought to judge him on. I found it, initially resisted (walked away, started reading and walking) it wouldn't get out of my mind. I ended up PMOing to the material, & returning to the extreme content I used to consume.

    Solution for steam app:

    1) only look at your library, and close the app after opening a game
    2) if you are to look at a game on the store page, do so through a browser w/out logging in, and only opening the app for that specific game only for the intention of buying it
    3) never look through friends, comments, or profile pages - keep it at the friends pop-up in game to invite/join

    Been 3 months since joining. I joined after reading 2 books on PMO addiction and advice from a priest. About 19 PMO-filled days in ~90 days.

    Since joining, I've actually regained the ability to awake with a full erection, maintain an erection while not stimulating it for several minutes (even if it may be quite annoying and a temptation), and have had sex dreams including women I'm attracted to in my personal life.

    I have discovered that all social media has to be cut out entirely. Except for youtube, this was easy. The jury is still out on how I should engage with youtube. I found it was a frequent source of temptation, but trying to remove it at this point bored me and left me desiring a replacement for time & interest, which had a contradictory outcome.

    I've developed a much greater resistance to temptations found on youtube, however, yet more avenues have popped up - steam store page, new tab advertisements, & discord. At the moment, I plan on developing awareness and defense mechanisms to protect me against those three sources of temptation.

    I'll start using my board as a log. Hope this can be a place I can start recording upward progress and triggers that cause relapses to avoid

    My first serious attempt that provided long term success was 3 years ago, when I attempted to simply reduce my use instead of quit. # of PMOs dropped maybe by ~10%, but the big advantage was I would make sure 4 days/week was entirely PMO free.

    This advanced into a difficult-to-maintain schedule of 1 PMO every MWF/week. I probably only succeeded this maybe 1/3 weeks for the roughly 1 year I tried it; but generally I was successful in having those PMO-free days.

    However, this did not assist in anyway for my apathy towards finding a wife, death-grip, only porn-memory fantasies (including dreams, though rare), and extreme fetishes.
