    I was posting here last year in june or july , I dont even remember tbh . I try to do this and go for 10-11 days and then i relapse . I have gone for a max for 20 days . I have decided to call it quits for good this time . I am embarrassed to tell anyone about this in my real life and can't afford a therapist as of now . Today 2pm I completed day 3 . I have set a target of 30 days . I will write a small success story everyday at around 2-3 pm everyday giving y'all updates . Do give tips what to do and what to look out for

    Thanks

    It's worth getting fired up and working toward a long term solution. Don't be ashamed to talk to the right person (but obviously be discerning and careful) - If you want real results it's worth employing real courage as well- set up contingency plans and consider outside the box thinking. I didn't have any real comprehension of my solutions until I began working a twelve step program and put my computers in storage outside the house. Don't underestimate the beast of modern porn- you can accomplish anything if you're willing to grow along spiritual lines and develop. I believe that the feminine spirit/God/Nature (whatever you discover) is trying to reward your efforts- but you must know that power for yourself, and that requires courage first and foremost.

    Breathwork and mediation is key for when those urges come it helps relax you and calm your mind

  17. My friend, I wonder if you are setting too high of goals for yourself. Yes, it would be much easier if we could get it done all at once, but this is a slow and hard journey for many of us. I recommend this video that has really helped me with making resolutions in the past:

    Thanks for the suggestion. I am trying to progress step by step , like last week my streak was 4.5 days and now it’s 5 days so I am trying to get better slowly . And you must have heard this quote , shoot for the moon even if you miss you will land among the stars . I will also watch the video and take suggestions.
