    hey guys, JERMAIN here, so its been 6weeks since i became a Fapstronaut and i tried as hard as i could i refrain from PMO but relapsed many times than i can remember.
    i travelled up-country during the holiday sn and thought it was a perfect way to stay awy from porn but i kept lookin it up in ma device.

    i think i might never see a time where i will be free from PMO addiction. I hope i find a way of living with it, or reduce the consumption significantly. i dont know.

    i feel lost. i mean i know its a bad habit. but i just keep going back to it, its like am hynotized to it, i cant control maself.

    I’m new here but not new to your problem. The first thing I would suggest is to fully embrace your issues then remove all materials, websites etc from your device. Keep your mind busy on other things that u enjoy, instead of porn. I’m over 30 day free & it’s a good feeling. The next thing & this is very important at least to me is to Trust the Process! Trust that u can & will beat this. On days your struggling just remember just like putting on weight, u don’t lose it all in a day. The other thing I say is Progress as Promise. Every second, minute, hr & day u don’t look or use porn is PAP. It’s hard bro I know, but nothing good is easy. So keep fighting & trust the process.

    I agree with RASmith. You have to remove any and all tiggers for PMO. Websites (hookup sites, porn, sexy models, favorite actors, etc). When you get the urge, go for a walk or run, help a friend anything. If you feel comfortable, get your friends to help you. I'm 14 days into my PMO and am doing great so far. My longest stretch of no PMO ever.

    Why do you want to quit?

    Where do temptations come from?

    What do you want to do instead?

    I want to quit because I think it's damaging to my psyche and my outlook on life. It's such a waste of time; I could be doing other things.

    Temptations can come from anywhere usually from TV or the internet. If you see someone very attractive or sexy you can't help but start to think I want that and then react to it.

    I want a more complete happy and fulfilling life not spend it masturbating which is the Fantasy Life in fast food mode.

    You find yourself a real goal to quit for, something emotional like helping someone and make him happy.
    And have this in mind, you can't take care of someone unless you stop ..
    Your feelings are numbed and you won't be able to care for someone in your life.
    You are dead, sorry to say so, but I am ahead of you and know how it feels when you are in the beginning, stay strong so that life come to you.

    That is awesome!

    So now the next step:

    What actions WILL you start taking to restrict internet or TV usage?

    What is your plan to do RIGHT when temptation hits?

    How do you plan to remind yourself of that good reason and keep the fire going?
     
  9. If it was easy everyone would do it bro, that's what makes you special! Don't be a wanker but a warrior. You got this.

    Take it at a day at a time. Focus on TODAY not tomorrow. Once you start focusing on the present, next thing you know you will start making huge streaks and you won't even feel like going back.
