How can I keep fighting when living alone

It's possible to still feel lonely in a relationship, so don't make that a big deal right now. Invest that time into healing, and view this time period as solitude for a greater purpose. Time is an investment too, use it wisely.

 

I knew a man who was married who couldn’t wait for his wife to leave the house so he could fap to porn. So living with others doesn’t make it easier.

It can be a struggle no matter what you’re living situation is. But it can be done. Why don’t you try reading the success stories.

I live alone and they’ve given me a lot of hope and the strength to continue.

 

Some thoughts which I need to try too, since also alone.

Of course, reading, watching a movie, or exercising may help. However when tempted, which is daily for me,
I think I find the idea of cerebral or chore like tasks are not sensual or interactive enough.

I haven't tried it yet, and it depends on your interests and talents. But I am thinking of buying a keyboard with recording ability and sounds to begin playing with my sensual connection to music, even before formal practice. Also getting clay or art supplies to try art and color.

A pet would probably do wonders but for many not practical.

A few ideas for now at least....for us both.

 

Same problem here bro, But I did few things and it worked for me...!!!
1. Don't give time to your brain to think, " What can I do now? There's nothing important to do." It will always trigger your brain any how to gradually sink into the loophole you are trying to avoid.
Solution? Always plan your day before, preferably night before or in the morning. Our brain likes leisure!!! But PMO is also triggered in leisure.
2. Try to spend your day outside the residence, your comfort zone. Study at library. When you return home you are tired enough to fall asleep.
3. And lastly, Limit your gadget usage, especially in the morning and before sleep. Remember, your brain will always try to find a loophole to return PMO.

 

I think planning the day is a great idea! Finding those tools that work for you and using them. It’s helpful to just focus on one day at a time, one urge at a time. Getting out of the house for a walk/ride/runor other exercise is great, gets you out of the house and also gets some endorphins helping you feel good from the exercise. Good luck my friend!

 

Find something more important to you than porn. Give yourself to that.
