It always happens about a month after no pmo. It sucks. Also, some websites (not porn sites) that i go to like the pirate bay has porn advertisements that catch the corner of my eye which i think is making quitting even more difficult. I have a lot of brain fog and I just want to relieve my stress though pmo, i won't but it would be a lot easier. Anyone else struggle around the one month mark?
I know what you mean about those ads. I think there are plugins you can get for your browers (depending which you use) to block them. Might be worth looking into?
Hasn't even been a month and I am going crazy. I feel agitated all the time and I am beginning to have a short attention span. Ad blockers help though. It's all the TV and Movies though. Might have to go back to nothing but books until I feel in control again.
Reach 365 days with no PMO? Good luck Cthulhu...never heard of anybody who accomplished that feat before !!
I really struggle with this as well. Thanks for the tips to do with adblockers. Does anyone have any general tips when it comes to coming across attractive pictures which arn't actually ads though? I won't link the particular picture.
yeah, learn the keyboard shortcut for 'close browser' and put your other hand in front of the monitor. Seriously!
K9 is a great filter, and it's free. It also blocks youtube ads. There are some sites it blocks which can be harmless, or even helpful. For instance, it blocks nofap.org. I'm strong enough to be my own moderator though, so I know the admin. password. Whenever it blocks a site I use that as a time to decide if the site is worth it, or if I'm acting out.I used to go into autopilot mode when I was extremely addicted. I'd xone out, and all of a sudden porn was on my computer. The K9 blocker helps me get my bearings again, and actually think about where I'm headed to online.
Haha, thanks upside. I've just figured out how to disable images from chrome which has done the trick but will bear that in mind too!
You really want to keep your energy up in the situations so you can stay ahead of yourself in a sense. You have to already know that your gunna come into roadblocks. Therefore making mental plans to pass those when you get to them. Its as simple as keeping your hand off your penis.
