Why is it so hard?!!

these days will pass bro, stay strong

 

I think you identified your problem. You have not been no PMO for 9 days if you are still peeking at P. No means no. If you stop feeding your brain P, the cravings for PMO will slowly fade. If you keep feeding it even a tiny amount, its appetite for PMO will remain insatiable.

Stop peeking.

 

After 14 days it becomes more easy.

 

This is the good advice
Peeking means your not actually recovering. Your still looking at P, putting toxic energy in your brain

 

The first month is always the most difficult. You'll notice it gets much easier in the second month.

 

Peaking has ruined me more times than I care to count. Truly. I made a huge long post about how peaking and edging threw me into a self denial & spin that made my addiction worse than if I would have just fapped & got it done with. Truly watch out for this man it can lead down a path to cycles of binging/abstinence that is thee worst thing for your brain

 

Thanks for the advice man. I'm having the same problem.

 

It's well beyond just being hard ... it is impossible to be made whole using just human strength (willpower.) Find out why.

 

This sheepdog / pleads with you, come back to the fold, and internalize, and exercise (spiritually) daily The 4 RULES to End @NamaClature14's Sexual Sin.

 

I’m still in the fold brother, nearing one month mark now thanks for looking out!

 

It isn't easy, and that's the truth. There is a reason I say this is the fight of your life. If it was easy, most everyone would quit, I imagine.

Doesn't matter. Easy or hard, it's what we must do. And so do it we shall!

 

Read about "extinction burst"

 

9 days of no pmo is around the peak testosterone zone dude!! You need to break through this to about 21 days them you hit flatline and the urge problem will be gone!

 

I identify with this.

My little "peaks" have ended up lasting for hours.

The problem with my porn viewing is that, unlike everything else I do, searching porn has no limits.

Whereas, regular masturbation would be done in 15 minutes or less.

Just a peak will draw me in and swallow me.

Once I get drawn into porn, I can't get out.

That is my experience.

It tells me porn is a problem.


I don't believe in most absolute rules.

Porn, for me, is like cocaine or heroin to a drug addict.

I can't have any of it. Porn always destroys me.

If anything, that is one thing about which I must be absolute.
