  1. Stopping isn't enough. You need to replace the habit to avoid going back.

    Yep your right. You stop and you have this void. What do you fill it with. Taking a different perspective, how can you feel more comfortable with the void that is left from PMO.

  3. The reason a person sticks to a habit is the reward system the body receives when engaging in the habit, and so you need to find a way to reward yourself every time you achieve a streak. The reward you give yourself should be greater than the pleasure derived from watching porn. So, when you're almost giving up, you'll feel obliged to fight on because your desire to stop is greater than the addiction itself. In my view, that's how to feel comfortable with the void.

    Being the devils advocate here, do you think our brain will see a reward greater enough than P. P allows us to O which is our primal instinct and the response to our brain and body that we have fulfilled our duty. What reward can we give to ourself that is greater than the fulfilment of our purpose as human beings?
     
  5. I'm forcing myself to be a tornado chaser or paranormal investigator. Might take a while but that's my goal.
