    Hey everyone... For quite long I've been suffering of this addiction.. then last week I came across this book called "Your brain in Porn", by Gary wilson (definetely recommend that.. I'm still reading it) which made me decide quitting porn. I didn't know how serious was this addiction and that it was the main cause of most of my problems, mainly social anxiety, self steem which makes me feel awful!

    Now I've just completed my first week without PMO and I'm so proud about that, but kinda afraid of my urges. At this 8th day, in the morning, I even considered masturbate, without porn, but anyway.. even being without porn I feel like that's the same thing and since then I've been struggling to ward off doing this. Do you guys have any tips for me?? I don't wanna throw away all my efforts of this first week just because of a weakness moment!

    Hello @Rathian, welcome to the forum.

    My advice would be to keep on educating yourself on porn recovery by reading informative articles, books and videos. Lots of people have different viewpoints on the best road to take. Some argue that porn is the main enemy to progress whereas others will argue that for a full reboot we should abstain from PMO.

    Also, it's very hard to see it in the moment, but no progress is lost during your nofap journey. If you keep on giving it your best, you should over time see progress.
