A big part of the problem is simply how fun PMOing is?

    So I have a very good blocking system on my laptop. It has reached the stage I basically can't see anything that will cause me to relapse. All images and videos are blocked except on sites I have allowed and don't have a problem with. Youtube restricted mode is locked on and can't be switchd off. My blocking system is now close to impossible to bypass. I don't have a smart phone or tv. I have no other device that can access the internet.

    But I am very hungover the now as I ended up drinking a lot yesterday. I am very horny today. I have masturbated just using my imagination a handful of times today. The reality is I don't need porn and artificual sexual stimulation. Masturbation using my imagination is enough. I have been very horny and have had rock solid erections from this.

    But I won't lie, I do think it would be extrememly enjoyable to masturbate, edge and binge to all off that porn and artificual sexual stimulation on the internet right now. Thankfully I can't access any of it though.

    But that is what I was thinking. Part of the problem for me is simply how fun I find PMOing. I'm lying in bed very hungover thinking what else can I get up to. I am bored.

    But what I was also thinking is what else do I actually find more enjoyable than masturbating, edging, binging to a lot of arousing content on the internet? Not much let me tell you. Are there any hobbies I enjoy more than PMOing? Not really if I am being honest with you. I think this is quite sad. But it is reality.

    So yeah I simply think PMOing is one of the most funest enjoyable things there is to me.

    I take my hat off to the guys who can refuse porn and artificual sexual stimulation who don't use blockers. I especially take my hat of to the guys who manage to get very long streaks of no PMO at all. I genuinely think you guys have very strong characters.

    What's stopping you from exploring other hobbies? If it's the porn, that is definitely how you know that it's become a real problem. The only thing worse is absolutely hating it, but I still needing to use it.

    And as far as blockers go, there are a number of reason why I can't set them up. If I could I have earlier on, I probably would have.

    Surely sk8 you must have something better to do than use porn.. also if you know that alcohol is a MAJOR trigger, why are you still getting wasted?
    Your whole mindset is completely flawed. You find PMO to be fun? So changing the plasticity of your brain negatively, and becoming less of a man, by using artificial forms of stimulation is fun for you? You haven't journaled at all, ever, have you? You havent written down and repeated over and over why this habit is the worst thing to happen to you or anyone, have you? You havent gained discipline, by taking cold showers daily, have you? You still havent committed to a new hobby and becoming completely absorbed by that instead of porn yet? You still arent finding positive people to network with? You have a lot of work to do, otherwise you will NEVER change!

    Today must be the first time in years I haven't been on any porn or artificual sexual stimulation at all while being this hungover. I think I am really going to like this new blocking system I have in place.

    I do try to stop drinking, but I always eventually end up relapsing on alcohol.

    I thankfully haven't been on any porn or artificual sexual stimulation at all today, which I am very happy about. I think this must be the first time in years I have not been on any porn or artificual sexual stimulation at all while being this hungover.

    I actually feel that bored a lot of the time these days that I think it is likely going to push me to get out the house and engage in more healthy rewarding activities. I really hope so.

    I feel you, I was at the same place around 2 years ago (and I hope I will never go back), for me it was video games addiction (I could play all night long). So video games - PMO - again video games to numb the shame - again PMO ... that was my endless cycle. Only when stopping video games cold turkey, I could finally get to Nofap long streaks (and I hope to get rid of pmo completely). It really worth it, you won’t regret.

    I hope I can find some healthy hobbies. I am starting to become that bored a lot of the time these days that I am hoping it is going to push me to get out the house to engage in healthy rewarding activities.
     
  9. How about real sex? I'd take that over PMO any day of the week!
