    Think of it this way, nobody else is going to do this for you. It's up to you to stop touching your dick. Easier said than done I know, but that's all you have to do. Don't make it into some impossible task.

    Get better or get worse. It's up to you, my friend. Send me a private message anytime if you need to talk. Chin up mate!

    What will happen if you stop trying? Will you be happier, more confident, better looking? I don't think so to be honest.

    You are a fighter. Remember you are the top 1%. Most people don't even dear to battle the addiction.

    The road isn't straight, but you will get there eventually. I believe in you.

    Personally I don't think I would have had the strength to do 90+ days unless I had suffered full ED/PIED/Death grip. If you don't have the discipline to stop yourself, you need the motivation. If you've hit rock bottom, the motivation to better yourself will be there, it's strong enough to give you the self control you need, you just need to harness it!

  5. Bro, if you had to give up, you wouldn't have tried in the first place. I'm sure you want to get out of it. I crossed 90 days and I won't lie, I still get very strong urges, but I've just made my mind extremely rigid, and strong. You can do the same. :) No good comes out of porn. It's just going to be depression, unwanted fetishes, terrible thoughts.

    In most cases white knuckling it just won't do. You may not have the tools needed to abstain from PMO. You may not even be aware of the things that are triggering you.

    My recommendation is to try and find a therapist who has knowledge of sexual/ pornography compulsion .

    It takes more than just trying to stop alone. Try to find a 12 step support group in your area . Find books on sex/ porn addiction.
    Maybe try and look back when you first started looking at porn. Was there anything in your life that was traumatizing ?
    I think it's not about just stopping. It's about understanding yourself , and why its so strong , and what your triggers are that keep getting you having to reset .
    - sexual imagines or beautiful woman on snapchat ?
    -instagram, Facebook, tik Tok , beautiful woman in tv or movies you watch , wrestling. These are all things you need to be careful or delete out of your everyday life I feel.

    I feel you.

    But giving up is not an option. Better to try and fail than never try at all.

    Remember this, always. You are not alone. Every man here suffers from what you suffer. Here, we are equals.

    be strong my friend all of us here are worries, even if you fail get back on the horse, i know that it seems like it useless but eventually we will figure it out, it has to be like that, every one of us knows this journey is not easy this is the journey of most resistance, find the power within yourself because it's there, ask yourself what happened before the relapse what you have been thinking what you did and how you can fix it next time, because the next trigger will come and you have to be prepare for it, you will succeed. don't dwell to much on your relapse just learn from it and prepare yourself to the next battle and move on that's the only way of the warrior!!!

    I suggest you get videos and books on how porn hijack's your brain, and how your brain works against you to watch porn. I believe in you! You can overcome porn.

    Never think of giving up.

    Giving up means you're done, you're like a dead person.

    It means you should be considered a loser who'll never achieve anything in is life.

    It means you condemn your parents to feel angry and disappointed, both to you and themself.

    It means that you are consciously deciding to spend the rest of your years in front of a PC, masturbating in front of fake and sleazy people who don't give a damn about your person and who see you as a means to earn even more money.

    It means that you'll get to a point where you can't get enough of the sad, empty, monotonous, depressed life you're leading and you'll start thinking that maybe dying in the concrete sense of the word is not such a bad idea.

    This will happen of you're deciding to give up and not take action against your problem.

    I know this is not at all the life you want to live. But that's it. You're deciding right now to spend your life like this...
