    So I don't really know what my triggers are. I really have a hard time with masturbation and porn right after ive woken up. Does anyone else have this problem I could really use some help????

    If I had to guess, the only reason you're tempted to PMO in the morning is force of habit. Even before you consciously think about it, your subconscious remembers all the times you've just woken up and PMOed, so by the time you do realize you're tempted, the thought has already made itself comfy in your brain and your hormones have already started surging.

    As far as specific strategies go, there's always wearing bottoms to bed if you don't already, but I'd think the best thing you can do is replace the habit with something else. Doesn't even have to be a "good habit." Anything from a quick workout to a quick smoke (although, as an ex-addict, I wouldn't recommend it), just to tie you over until you're in a safer situation. I dunno about you, but usually when I fail, it's because of a very sudden urge, not one that's been building up for hours or days.

    Do what I do to distract myself. Make breakfast, iron my clothes in the morning and have a shower. You will see the morning boner go down.
