    As the title says i have realised i have major problem i have a addiction to porn and masturbating. I have tried to stop but i always go back into old habits after 3 days i have tried looking on net for help but i just can't seem to find it. I'm pretty scared of going to the doctors and saying that im addicted to masturbating.Porn its really affecting my life i hate myself when i have masturbated i was just wondering how other people broke the cycle

    Well, you are here, so you can start your journey to recovery properly. Read the posts, post yourself, vent if you must, we all in the same boat. yourbrainonporn website also has a lot of interesting stories and scientific information about the addiction, as well as experiences of other people who suffer it, you may want to read it too.From my experience, to break the cycle you must see the life without it first and then compare the two kinds of existence, then it would be a matter of practicing nofap and making it your life style. All you gotta do is to keep your hands off your peepee and your eyes off pixelated body parts of naked people. Don't get discouraged by relapses, but do your best to stay away from porn and similiar porn substituting activities at all times.

    It helps to also start learning to change your focus. Your perception and how you think about PMO. One of the biggest problems is that people can tend to over think the problem which often makes matters worse. How to do that? Try living as full a life as you possibly can. That all said, the irony of all addictions is that to overcome them, you really do need to think your way out of them. So learning to think about the right stuff is also pretty imporatnt.

    Welcome to Nofap and Good luck!

    I can only agree with the previous speakers. You can't eliminate a habit, you can only replace it.

    Example: Many people who quit smoking because of money, for example, relapse with a high risk.

    On the other hand, if you give up smoking for sports, you have replaced it and can get rid of the bad habit.

    Do not wait at home until you can live porn-free. That doesn't work. Build your life and because the focus and energy is going somewhere else it will bear fruit.
