I'm so lost, where to even start?

Hey man, tell me a little about your situation. How long have you been using porn and how has it effected your life. Then I will tell you a little about myself and some things that have helped me. Also, are you religious?

 

First of all, putting yourself down doesn't help. PMO is merely a compulsive disorder that we started. Since we started it, we can stop it. I believe I'm on day 5. Do I get urges? You betcha. Sometimes very strong ones. I sit with it, commit to my goals, and move on. When the urges get real bad, I come to nofap and try to help others which helps me forget my issues. The urges then go away. I created this monster. I will destroy it. Just takes time and commitment to getting better. I have taken all triggering images off the table. I've done a pretty good job blocking porn and other salacious pictures and online messages. For me, I post and comment on politics on Facebook and I check my email. That is all I do online now. I'm about to read a book I've waited months to read. Don't put yourself down. When you relapse, recommit and start over. I wish you well on your journey.

 

Approach this like you are fighting a war. You win some and you lose some. A battle does not decide the war. We need to recover the aggression necessary to fight back. One can not be timid in their attacks against their urges. I wish you the best of luck, and if you need to message me my inbox is open.

 

Thank you for posting. When I first heard we have to approach this addiction like a warrior. I thought that was overkill. Now after a week of no porn or fapping, you are absolutely correct. I took action immediately to make sure I had no access to porn. I set up my google search to not allow any porn-related searches. I went on my Reddit, unjoined all the porn subreddits, and charged my settings not to allow NSFW images or videos. I have taken a sabbatical from Instagram but every couple of days, I go through the list of people I follow on there and delete any that posts any risque posts of any kind. I've deleted ALL porn bookmarks from my web browsers and installed an extension to block porn. I have also downloaded and installed an app on my phone that will block porn. No, I'm serious to never see porn again ESPECIALLY after reading on one of these sites all the crimes behind the scenes like human trafficking. I do not want to be complicit in those crimes. I have no desire to look at porn again. I don't have a good idea of what I want to do in regards to fapping. My better half is going through menopause and has no libido at all. I think eventually, in a few months, I can go back safely to fapping but we'll see. If anyone wants to private message me, please do so.
