It takes 21 days to break a habit: 21 days no masturbation: The 3 week plan w/options

Really good plan. Gonna start tommorow. Lets do this!

 

Sure, I agree with you, but many are going to see the OP's post and be misled on habits, especially by being frustrated if they do not achieve it when the "research" says they should, and will even try to apply this timeline to other areas of their life. And my argument is not subjective. My point is exactly that this has been looked at in academic studies and the timeline for such things determined.

 

I think breaking down this problem into smaller chunks is an excellent idea. No PMO forever is a rather monstrous task. However breaking it down to easier more comprehendible chunks of time is certainly helpful. I am new here and liked the idea of the OP so joined this thread.
I will also say though after a year of trying to quit solo and reading various books on habits, it is my understanding you can never really eradicate a bad habit. You can replace them however, for a more productive one. If one simply tries to stop watching porn and not replace the time with something else, or not use the cues of old to begin a new routine, I think quitting will be nearly impossible. I quit smoking and excess junk food by taking exercise more seriously, becoming a person who simply did not want to smoke because it did not fit in with my new lifestyle. Don't get me wrong, will power is certainly needed, but for long term quitting I think its important to become the kind of person that p does not interest

 

DAY 5
Brain fog starting to clear out now! Can think alot faster and chose the right words when speaking. Much more assertive in speech and also in conversation, can make and get my point across rather smoothly and intelligently! not to say i am too intelligent haha!!

 

Why wait? You don't exist in the "tomorrow," you exist in the present. You want this? Try for it!

 

Not sure if 21 days is enough since for many of us the habit has started since teens or even prior to that and continued into adulthood.

 

HEy I will also start this 21 day
