New beginning !!

Hey everyone

I am a college student. I have been masturbating for last 6-7 years. I can't even remember when it all started. I have tried many times to quit but failed.
My last try was a week before when I was able to fight on for a week but then the last day I did it for 3-4 times and since then I have been doing it daily.
I don't know from where I got the motivation to fight back today. I was just googling through sites when I came here. I hope that this will be a new beginning in my life.

 

Thanks IGY.
These tips are really good. It generally starts with the first point you mentioned. I feel like touching or rubbing my penis. Then I will start watching some porn or sexual content online. If I don't have access to this, I would just imagine myself with someone and masturbate and boom the streak is over and after that comes the guilt part. Sometimes I just feel that this won't end ever. It will just go on like this.
But this time with guys like you around I feel energized and motivated. Just completed my day 1. This time it will be different.

 

Thanks Andy.
Hey can anyone guide on blue balls condition as the last time I kept a streak my balls started aching after 5 days and after that I was not able to hold for long. I masturbated on 7th day and instantly felt relieved.

 

As Andy suggested I am trying not to touch my penis due to any reason other than peeing or while taking bath.
I avoid looking erotic content or other things online that would arouse me towards PMO.
In my college, we have very easy access to porn through DC++. I have removed it from my laptop. So whenever I feel an urge, I have to download it, then install and then wait for the download which gives me ample time for controlling myself. Also, I have started playing table tennis that keeps me busy. And I found this NoFap Panic Button option really useful.
DJ, if you can suggest some other measures that I can take, I will be grateful to you.

 

Thanks DJ. That was really helpful. I completed my day 2, it was easy just felt an urge before going to sleep.
One thing I have noticed that a monster in my head tries to search for reasons why I should do PMO. And then I have to fight it. It goes away when I start thinking about something else.
Hey can you also tell me how to setup a counter to check my progress ?
