90+ days no-P

Been a long time since I've posted a success story.
Background: I'm a religious Jew living in Israel. I joined NoFap in late 2018. For nearly a year I had one single continuous no-PMO streak. During that year I exercised a lot, lost a lot of weight, got into writing research-type essays and prepared myself mentally to enter the world of dating by, among other things, gradually cutting down on P-subs. During the summer of 2019 I was triggered in a powerful manner and slowly but gradually started getting back into P-subs, until finally, a couple of years later, I was back to full PMOing. I also started gaining back the weight I had lost. For years I felt that I was fighting a losing 3-way battle: I had to fight the urge to eat, the urge to watch Porn and the urge to MO. At times, it seemed hopeless.

Fast-forward, many failed attempts at doing 90 days of no-PMO. Sometimes I got close, but I usually averaged at around 40 days. Last August I had come across a Facebook post that deeply inspired me. The poster did not support Porn usage but did argue that in the eyes of Judaism, MOing should be seen in a more proportionate manner. I decided to set aside my fight against MOing and to start a no-P streak. So, here I am, a little over 90 days later.

I still have occasional P-related urges. I MO on occasion, doing my best to empty my mind and not focus on anything in particular. Circa the second month I managed to go for around 3-4 weeks without MOing, but I don't pressure myself on that end.
