Any advice helps!

Hey guys, I'm new here. Been dealing with porn addiction for a large portion of my life and been fighting it on and off. But right now I've been trying to fight it off for about 8 months now and I can't even seem to go 30 days yet without it. I'm figuring out different things that help a bit but this quarantine has made it much more difficult lately. I really badly need to reach 60-90 days somehow and am wondering if you all have any suggestions on what has helped you.

I use an app on my phone to track my progress and do small mental exercises everyday to try to get better. I also do a small program with a coach for pornography addiction online. I have been working hard to grow my spirituality to try to make it easier to say no to porn, but haven't figured out the right combination of things yet to make it last. It's like I can make great decisions for 2 weeks or so and then I make a couple small bad ones and boom, back at day 0. I have a somewhat physical job so I hadn't yet tried working out much but I have been thinking about trying that more lately. Anything work for you guys? I also have been trying to figure out some other activities that I could do that would give me extra dopamine because I think that's a big part of the problem on why I relapse. I've heard of this site a while back but it just came back to me when I was thinking, man I really wish I just had someone to help tell me what decisions I could make to possibly make it easier.. So here I am!

Also, I live alone and work alone so I have tons of time that I have to make good decisions and stay away from porn, just to add that in to any possible tips.

 

Are the cold showers for when you're tempted or just to build up your mental strength? And ya I was thinking about starting to work out; For a while I thought, my job is pretty physical, that basically is my exercise.. But I think it could be beneficial to actually work out too. I eat like crap too. Don't like cooking much and I tend to eat a ton of sugary snacks too. Don't really like vegetables so it's hard for me to eat healthy and I'm admittedly lazy with food, I like grabbing things quick.

And ya for me, I want to never go to porn again; But my first "big goal" is to reach the 60-90 days region.

 

Ya I've tried getting back into reading books lately and I do enjoy it, but unfortunately, I don't do it enough. It just doesn't sound as "fun" as like playing video games or watching tv a lot of times. lol
