    "The more pleasures a man captures, the more masters he will have to serve." - Seneca said

    Porn it's one of them.

    “The first and the best victory is to conquer self. ” - Plato said

    Let's start then and conquer the inner self.

    Day 1.

    Will update with thoughts each time I feel to do so.

    Everything went well yesterday.

    Managing the environment does help, blocking porn sites on both mobile and desktop, as well as triggering websites like instagram and facebook.

    If you tired starting over, stop giving up.

    Day 2.
     
  3. Sorry to enter your thread but i'm curious, what does your journey and philosophy involve and teach?
    (I'm not a philosopher so please try a simple explanation)

    A stoic can be described as a nihilist with attitude.

    A stoic knows that we can't control the universe, what we only master is our consciousness. The universe is ruled by truth, you can lie but can't change the rules, the only way is to live in communion with universe, is with virtue. And virtue means to do the right thing when no one else would.

    Day 4.

    Had sexual contact with a girl, but I did feel an urge before that happening which I'm not happy with.

    Great briefing of the stoic philosophy. I m not a philosopher (only know whats tought at Highschool) but I would advise you another quote. I am finding it usefull
    Mens sana in corpore sano
    Helthy mind in a helthy body

    I find it easier to abstain from PMO if I am on a good diet and doing exercise (gym)
