What Is The Most Extreme Measure You Have Had To Take To Quit Porn?

At the moment I have got the blocker switched on which my ISP provides but I can take it off at anytime because I have the password for my account. I know net nanny and covenant eyes etc have their place and do help, it is just I know I can get around them whether I have the password or not, so for me there is no point spending money on them. I need to get a grip on this myself to find total freedom from this addiction. I am not going to tell anyone here how to get around them so nobody need worry about that if they are using blockers

 

Great topic and inspiring replies!

My bigger struggle is masturbation and some people seem to take issue with how I have chosen to curb that addiction (currently at 111 days without masturbation and have looked at porn just once in the past 500+ days).

But to quit porn: I had to part with a massive collection - including some amazing (but sexy) artwork and some highly collectible first issue magazines from the 60’s
Everything had to go. So painful. I really had a massive porn stash. Took me months to get rid of it all.

 

• Haven't gotten rid of my computer or smartphone, but only have a desktop and keep it in the living room
• Obviously still using the internet, but my yt account got deleted (they wouldn't say why), and recently deactivated my Facebook, uninstalled Instagram
• I don't even have antenna TV
• I stopped visiting two gals I liked once, but for other reasons
• Moved in with two other guys who are really good Christian role models. That really helped with accountability

Though not perfectly l, I also stopped allowing myself to seek out, look at, or dwell on anything that causes me to lust. Now it's a habit, so it's not nearly as hard as it may sound

 

Well done you are certainly on the right path going in the right direction

 

Destroyed phone with hammer
Blocked computer taking out admin rights
Lost relationships
Etc

 

This is a great thread.

So I'm moving to a new flat over the summer. Here is my plan.

-I will not get Internet.
-No TV either.
-My Laptop/tablet/phone etc will be at my office so I can organise stuff there if I need to or I can bring it very occationally in the evening but not at the weekends.
- Maybe a speaker for some music to connect with my phone.

Instead I will start filling alot of times with activities like going to the gym, golfing and socialicing etc.

Of course this is radical and it will not work for a lot of people but for me this is the way to go.

 

Great to hear you have got a plan, I think a plan is essential. I am on day 14 of a 90 day reboot and starting today have decided to go Monk Mode. You are doing the right thing not getting the internet or a TV and leaving your phone at the office. Good luck on your journey

 

- he cambiado el celular inteligente por uno básico. a la par de esto he escondido los celulares viejos pero inteligentes que tenia, en un lugar de muy difícil acceso.
- he borrado todas las redes sociales incluyendo WhatsApp.

 

Wow thats pretty extreme

 

Damn that's hardcore, what does being a monk involve? Also, I'm curious to know if you can exercise while fasting?

 

@Tilopa any general advice on fasting for beginners, I might try it. What about water consumption

 

I quit social media, quit nofap socials, and stopped using my computer frivolously. I have a few close friends, spend most my days reading, studying, writing, and playing music. I spend more time with my family than I ever have before, and my accomplishments have only increased in size and number after making this drastic change. My career goals are being realized, and in a short while, it will all be worth it, if not already.

What's the most important step? The next one.

 

Fasting forty days stretch...and I made it.

 

Thank you for all the info @Tilopa, will do my research

Tell me more about it, how was it, what benefits, changes did you experience, what was your water intake

 

Although we have probably all heard this a thousand times at this point, it still is incredibly accurate. Cheers, mate.

 

My water intake In the 40days fast, was brutal the fasting begings at 12am in the night to 4pm in the afternoon, no food no water. Before I eat or drink it must be 4pm in the evening I did this for 40days and all the benefits you could ever imagine came with that just once success and change my experience forever.
