I've been a mess since the pandemic started

Hello, I advise you to stop using any phone or computer that access the internet for a while, give yourself a rest, stop being alone, stop all sexual fantasies, avoid bad friends, socialize more often, go to bed only when sleepy.

Delete all porn and porn bookmarks from all your devices. I recommend abstaining from social media and this includes YouTube. Also, put porn blockers on all devices. This is crucial at least for the first 90 days of your no PMO journey.

If you have successfully abstained for 90 days, then you can continue using the internet-enabled gadget, but filters and blockers have to be installed in them, delete all files that contain explicit materials from your devices, parental control software should also be considered. If you are brave enough to trust somebody (a friend, family member, religious leader, psychiatrist, or a counselor) you share your experience with him, Let him be there to help you and alert him whenever you feel the urge to PMO by call, text, or any other mean.

Doing the above steps would boost up your motivation, improve your willpower, and make you good at decision-making. The next step is to remove all blockers, and filters from your phones or computers, download self-help ebooks such as "internet pornography and the emerging science of addiction” by Gary Wilson, read them anytime you feel the urge.

If you can strictly adhere to the steps, I think you can quit PMO.

Hints:

1. Social media are poison, resume using them only when you feel healed,

2. Instantly delete any image, text, video clip, or movie, that contain nudity, no matter how interested you are in it.

3. Go out there and look for real girls (wife, or girlfriend) to rewire yourself to a natural setting, run away from prostitutes they could not help but rather eat up your money. Good luck.

I've been experiencing a similar thing. I went 90 days and then relapsed during the lockdown and have struggled to get more than a few days ever since. I've had some success recently... 9 days isn't amazing, but it's the best I've had in a while.

Discipline and routine are really important, especially during the pandemic. You mentioned joining a gym and that is a great idea. Exercise works wonders. Even if you can't join a gym right now because of lockdown restrictions, there are lots of good home workouts to be found on the Internet.

Beyond that try to find something that you're passionate about, something to get you out of bed in the morning.

Also things are really monotonous right now, so try to find something you can look forward to every week.
