    I've been trying modal for 3 months and I've not even had a seven day streak!!! I feel shattered and I've lost all hopes. I feel it's IMPOSSIBLE. How can I control myself. What am I lacking at? I take my mobile phone for some work and I end up getting a sexy image and I feel it's the time to shake it off. But after it I'm filled with guilt. Can anyone tell me how can I control myself?
     
  2. How long have you been addicted to PMO? The longer the addiction and the greater its intensity, the longer it can take to recover.

    After 25 years of addiction, I had to take a two-year break from electronics of all kinds in order to get free from the hold it had over my mind. Perhaps radical lifestyle change would be of benefit to you, too?

    Success is 100% guaranteed if we are 100% committed to the process of recovery. Total commitment can be very costly, indeed.

    I've been addicted since 2 years now. Still I find it difficult.
     
  4. How can you cut off your access to P completely? What steps can you take today to get into a supportive community to help you deal with this addiction?
     
  5. Well nobody will do it for you. And there is no easy fix, you gotta pay your dues. It's worth it at the end though. So, in my opinion, do whatever it takes!

    So the addiction concept for anything sexual is probably a sham. Which is why the DSM doesn't include it. It's almost as if calling it an addiction creates the psychological narrative bias that we can't control ourselves. I was in a 12 step group for sex "addiction" and highly doubt their "success" rate was any better than this site's. So what you said about guilt is key i think. Just keep fighting the good fight; try your willpower in other areas-exercise, nutrition; then build up to harder things.

    Think for yourself, take responsibility for yourself, respect yourself.
