It feels impossible.

I think this happens to all of up in the beginning.
Try to masturbate without a computer or tv and see if you can get hard/ orgasm. If you dont then some of the urges will fade (guaranteed) because you will feel miserable and unable to perform which in itself will lead you to become less interested in doing it. Thats you first step.

Try over time to convince your brain that porn is not an option. You cannot do this over a night. It took me 4 month of relapsing before I got my mind clear too responsibility of my own body. Patience is the key to victory.

If you got a partner I would tell her right away about your problem. Yes shes probably gonna be mad at you and not wanting to talk to you etc. But if she really cares about you she will be patient and help you out best way she can. Try to have sex with her, (AFTER YOU'VE TALKED TO HER) that way both will know that you're going to perform horrible and she will in the meantime understand that its not her but your PED that is the problem. This is a step in the right direction.

What have worked for me was to feel the urges, know they're there and accept them. They will fade over time. And besides, as soon as you get your mind off on something else you wont feel them anymore.

There are many ways but this worked for me (I'm single), I hope it helped and good luck!

 

Never, never, never give up

Dig deep and find your WILL to fight. Then, you will win.

Perfect example this morning, I woke up to check on my email on my tablet. When I proceeded to open it, it asked me whether I wanted to use Firefox browser or Google Chrome, so I picked Chrome rather than Firefox this time (still half asleep) and in the browser history, there were some links that I didn't delete to previous sites I visited. I immediately felt a small dopamine rush and I was tempted to see the updates, but my WILL overcame that temptation. I dont have porn blockers or anything, except safesearch on google. Anyway, I ended up deleting the rest of those links from my history. I feel I am more prepared now to overcome this addiction, unlike previous attempts where at that same point, I would have caved. You can do it, just know where the bumps in the road are at, it looks like for you around 6-7 days. So make sure you stay far away from the computer during that time period, rinse, repeat and push through. Peace

 

No one but you can generate your motivation, earth.

There IS (not was) a reason you came here. What is it?

Remind yourself of it. Embed into your psyche.

You can do it.

 

I've been where you are, man, thinking "what's the use?" DO NOT LOSE HOPE. A week is a fantastic accomplishment in itself.

We have to love ourselves and honor ourselves enough to get us through, we have to tell ourselves we're WORTH it! We totally are. We have lives that are going to be far more fulfilling to lead if we can turn our back on our bad habits.

You do KNOW this is important, otherwise, you wouldn't have asked to be reminded. You DO have it in you. I believe in your ability to succeed, best of luck!

 

It might be helpful for you make a list of the negative consequences porn and excessive masturbation have had in your life. You might add things that could happen if you continue PMO but haven't happened yet (yet=you're eligible too). When you're feeling tempted, refer to your consequences inventory.

However, at some point, you've got to want to be PMO free more than you want to fap to porn. You are going to have to commit and dig deep and do whatever it takes to reach your goal. Otherwise, you'll be a chronic relapser.

 

You are where I was 18 months ago. I tried to stop PMOing by stopping. Sounds great, but at the time I did not appreciate I was addicted to it. I just thought it was a bad habit. I PMOed daily, when I began my recovery, and I could not O with my wife. Now, I cannot remember the last time I PMOed, months ago, I seldom M, and I O with my wife, just like a regular person. I was not educated about my problem, and maybe you are not either. The whole NoFap challenge is interesting, but you are not going to quit fapping without educating yourself. Education and tools, that is what you need. For me understanding that PMOing had literally rewired my brain chemistry was a huge first step. I needed to understand what it had done to me before I could go about changing that. Yourbrainonporn.com is a great resource. Deciding to stop is a great aspiration, but beyond that I had to make real changes. First, I called myself an addict. I don't know if I am. I mean, I think I am, but science still cannot agree whether porn is addictive. At the very least it is a strong compulsion. Once I conceived of myself as an addict, I realized there were tools out there to help me, that I could not do it alone. Forums like this are a tool I use; reading stories and responding are part of my recovery. Also, I cannot stress how helpful porn blockers have been for me. I used to think they were ridiculous, that I could stop looking on my own, but I find the porn blockers remind me of why I am quitting, that I actually am quitting. You asked how to remind yourself, and that is one way I remind myself. Read up on your condition, understand you are not alone, quit looking at porn or at least make it a little harder to easily get to it. I will say that I am not alone in finding that when I began I had some luck in divorcing P from MO, and once that happened, while I compulsively still continued to watch P, my MOing went down significantly to now, months apart. Every journey begins with a small step, so start taking them. Good luck, and find tools to use. Don't just try to passively quit, do thing that interrupt the pattern. It helps.

 

I also found this resource as an extension on Google Chrome called Block Site by wips.com where you can actively block out certain keywords from showing up on your computer when you type them into any search engine. You can override it easily but it will make you think why you are doing so before you do it and those 30 seconds or so might be the difference between finishing yourself off and actually beginning to heal from this madness.

 

Fapfreeforever is right about the google block site option. I use it. One of the problems we have is that porn is everywhere. We really don't have to look much to find it. Even a benign site like google can be abused. I blocked images.google.com. Why? I used to go there and punch in blankity blank blank and find all the images I wanted. You need to use tools like these, they help. Quitting on your sheer will power alone is not enough. Accept that and it gets easier. Good luck.

 

You need to remind yourself that this is a journey and not something that you can just overcome overnight. Every good intention you had was a seed that you planted for growth into a mature and loving person. Now you need to walk and go on your journey. You don't stop when you fall down, you stand up and continue to walk to move forward to a better future. Walk and continue to walk the difficult path of recovery. Water your seeds of good intention with action rooted in good will for your own self and for others. Don't seek to change others, seek to love and understand and you will be more at peace with yourself.

 

I say don't take it too seriously...

If you find yourself thinking no pmo impossible most likely there are other areas in your life you need to pay attention too that is prolly making it harder for you.

Maybe it's your diet, lack of excerise or another addiction you might not even be aware of.

Idk you so I'm not gonna continue to guess..

You've to balance all areas in your life. Don't just concentrate on 1 area & think it'll become the holy grail for you.
