    Hello guys, am in nofap for one and half month now, but lately i realised am having a new problem. Wen i feel bored, tired, lazy and wen i had the urge, i am not watching porn, but instead watching some random pictures of ppl in social media who are sexy. I started to realise i am replacing the habit of porn with this new habit but at anytime i did not masturbate. And sometimes i felt wat am doing is not right but unable to control it. Guys anyone had same problem?? If so how to overcome it??

    It's a called a porn substitute. You are getting dopamine hits by seeking out less extreme versions of pornography. You need to stop.

    Make the choice to not do it. Ultimately all of this just boils down to choice. You are either choosing to engage in this addictive/destructive behavior or not. There are lots of strategies for dealing with urges. What is your current plan for dealing with your PMO addiction?

    So you should educate yourself on porn addiction and how it works. There are lots of resources here or on the your brain on porn site.

    Next start a Journal and use it every day. Identify your triggering situations and develop strategies for coping with them. For example

    bored - went to pmo
    strategy - go for a run, call a friend, put ice in my pants

    Get an AP (accountability partner) who you can check in with every day and contact when you need support

    Start to identify and deal with the underlying emotional issues that you are using porn to avoid. Counseling/therapy.

    Good Luck. Stay Strong

    There's ALWAYS something better you could be doing than watching porn or viewing erotic pictures. TRUST me
