    I've been trying for 2 years+ and i just can't quit. I've tried everything from cold showers and working out to journaling and practising truthful self talk, working on something to stay busy. I always go back and I've relapsed about 250 times. It always gets worse and now I'm relapsing almost everyday, multiple times per day. It's affecting my productivity, my happiness and slowing me down or making me neglect on other goals. What are your thoughts on this?

    Try to get rid of your phone or computer.

    Same story here. It is tough, but keep fighting. Always find the positive, something to learn from. And guess what, in your 250 relapses, I am quite sure you’ve learnt some things about yourself, your triggers, and etc.
    Try to Construct a plan that fits all that, can’t promise anything, but you might have some more success. Good luck!

    Extreme, but extreme problems require extreme solutions.

    might be too extreme considering how important the Internet is for everyday life.

    OP, as an alternative, if you’re willing to confide in someone, ask them to create parental control password, and install it on your phone/computer. Like, to get past it, you literally have to ask them to type it in.

    this is easy to do on iphone. Settings - screentime - content and privacy restrictions - content restrictions. It requires a separate passcode. Maybe android has something similar?

    Not sure how it would work on a computer, but there’s probably something out there.

    Also, telling a friend/family might help. Assuming they’re proud and/or supportive, then you are kinda also quitting for them. Having the knowledge that you’re letting THEM down if you relapse is VERY powerful.

  6. I would have suggested to get rid of whatever devices you use to view porn but like me I always found a way back to it. I know exactly how you feel and so do many individuals on here. You are not alone in this struggle.

    Maybe you can call your internet provider and ask them to block ALL inappropriate content. Then no matter how much you want to fap to porn you will be forced to struggle temporary and find other ways to use your free time. That is what I did today.

    im curious how that’ll go for you. I’m worried they would over filter.

  8. They only blocked pornagraphy and nudity content. Everything else is accessible as normal. So basically I can't access porn. YouTube, NoFap, worldstarhiphop just to name a few are all working. Netflix is accessible and others too. Now I don't have to think when my next dopamine hit via PMO will be.

    That is HOW I did it. Hopefully you find a way to overcome this issue because it is truly a self destructive tool. Porn should be banned legally everywhere.

    if thats the case pls go and take the help of a psychologist or tell someone who can help you with this . take medicines like urge killer pills and all , take a therapy treatment and also go for counselling .
    and thats that you will be ok soon and keep close touch to god become religious pray every morning,evening and night . always remember if no one can help you then only god can help you in your darkest of the darkest hours .
