It all started around October 2016.. At first it was fun until I tried to stop...The highest I have ever attained is 13 days without porn. Initially I wanted to give up but going through Nofap and seeing the success stories.. Am motivated again and willing to face this demon!! But I need useful tips
Daily prayer, meditation, journaling, rigorous honesty, getting support and reaching out honestly about your thoughts on here and irl. And if your really sick and hurting, try sex addicts anonymous (SAA). Best of luck and hit me up anytime if you need some help.
Just cutting something that has been a major part of your life and activities cold turkey is hard. I needed to find something to fill that time. Fortunately, there are a lot of really good resources out there. Writing a journal to yourself has been helpful to me in identifying thoughts and emotions around PMO that I didn't realize (or didn't want to admit) I had. Running or walking daily while listening to audiobooks or podcasts (currently listening to Pornfree Radio) has been helpful for addressing the negative emotions that led to PMO. Making connections with old friends and being active on here helps deal with the isolation. I've been reading articles that focus on positive aspects of my life rather than trying to find articles to justify my PMO (Art of Manliness has a good series on quitting porn). Finding a good therapist has been very helpful as well where I can talk about my issues revolving around PA and depression and address them as appropriate.
