I want to quit

You can do it! There are many successful people that failed miserable numerous times before they finally hit it big. And PMO is no different. Keep getting back up. Stay in the fight. Don't let P win regardless how hard you are being hit. We believe in you.

 

@Luuciano I have been on this site for about 2 years now and I have still not beaten this addiction...at least not yet.All I can say is if you feel like giving up,don't!Believe in yourself like others have believed in you.You have nothing to lose,while beating this addiction is hard,it is certainly not impossible.

 

Don't be too hard on yourself. Understand that PMO addiction is a mental disease; something which is not in your control atm. You just have to keep on trying and keep on learning from every relapse. There are no shortcuts. I have gone past 60 days 2 days back and yes these were the hardest days of my life BUT worth every pain of it.

Take one day at a time. Don't just shoot for 60 days if you can't go 2-3 weeks. Go for a week first and then other week and so on. Come up with a plan. Write a journal, get an accountability partner, talk to someone you can trust, work out everyday, meditate everyday, get professional help if you can't do it on your own. If you are not ready to do these, recovery is not possible. Recovery has to be earned; it doesn't come off easily.

 

Hi @Luuciano,
You are way ahead of where I was 30 years ago. I know that at 18 I felt super charged, some times I still do (you kids get off my lawn). Each day will get easier if you have a plan and stick to it. Find some hobbies you enjoy that distract you, not something that keeps you parked at your computer or game system. From your photo I would assume you like basketball, find a group that you can play with. I did better when I found something to do that I got more satisfaction from than PMO, because PMO always ended with guilt and shame.
Anyway, you are not on your own. Keep fighting.

 

Good luck bro, May each breath exhale the most urgent and striking difficulties, and each inhale create space for the hard work that turns into confidence that one can survive. Once you have got momentum, more inspiration Will Spring from the trust in your endurance. Some advice would be to prepare for the tough Moments by choosing a few songs that mean a lot to you, and update your defense constantly.

 

nice

 

You are an inspiration. Please keep telling your story. Recovery is attainable. It is POSSIBLE.

 

Good for you. Keep up the good work.

 

Luciano I just read all the excellent comments and advice from people who have been thru this hell. I have not much to add except that IT CAN BE DONE. At first it looks like it is going to be impossible, but day by day it gets a bitt easier. Keep away from all triggers. You already tried once. Now you are giving yourself a second chance, take advantage of it. Make strong resolutions and by all means find a AP who you can communicate with daily. Also keep on writing and get a counter.

 

YES! One day at the time. You worry only about today, staying away from any triggers. Tomorrow will be another day. If you make it today, tonight you will feel better.

 

There were many of game lost in the last seconds of regulation play. Stay strong until the end. And tomorrow, we will celebrate with you another day to fight and win. Proud of you bro!

 

First three 3 days are the hardest, after that it's cruise mode for most.


Just battle through. Don't be beta

 

Keep going man, you can do it !
