    Sometimes cutting off PMO isn't enough.
    PMO'ing is just a symptom, not the real disease.
    That means that there are some core issues hiding underneath the surface which made us use PMO as an escape.
    Those slowly will be revealed to you when you start giving up PMO.
    UNLESS.. unless you replace it with other escape methods, and then there's no real recovery. Just the same mechanism in a different form.
    I believe that for an accelerated and true healing, one should start being aware of these escapes and start eliminating them one by one.
    Have you considered why it takes so long?
    Yes, partly because we have been addicted for so long, and partly because we are just throwing away porn and we don't do the actual work , which is the facing of self (all scars included).

    When we start to want to eliminate PMO out of our lives, that means we're starting to show signs that we are ready to face our darker aspects.
    And when that happens naturally and gradually , PMO will not be needed anymore.
    Facing our darker aspects, traumas etc, is crucial for success here.

    So in summary, have a good look at your life, see where there are other ways you have been escaping, and start making a real change in your life!
    Eliminating porn requires us to have a total shift in our lives in many aspects.
    This is a battle that requires all of our troops.
