    Hi all,

    I have been trying quitting PMO several times, with samll success and various falls. I'd like you to ask if someone of you had experience with a progressive reboot. I was thinking about abstaining to P and going easier with M and O. I know that someone will say "that's an excuse for relapsing" or "You should not indulge in something that risky" and I perfectly understand that. But I also think that PMO fucked up my willpower and going cold turkey doesen't work because I cannot take it all at once. I don't know if abstaining from P alone for a chunk of time will reduce the grip of PMO on my mind step by step, allowing me to control MO easilly later. Notice that I'm speaking on true commitment at not watching P. Any advice, story or anything is more than welcome.

    Stay strong y'all

    Homie go for it!
    I'm on 239 days no P
    But only 4 days no MO
    So I can see why people encourage you to go all in. But maybe this progession method would work better for you. But make sure you have like an action plan so slowly reboot. E.g stop P for 2 weeks first, once successful then stop MO.
    All the best!

    I tried similar techniques, but it is tricky, gotta stay motivated and not get lazy, but i would change how u do MO, like what i realized is when i would lay down and get comfortable and do MO it was a direct trigger to use P, so i started trying to make it "uncomfortable". Like i would stand up and MO, to throw off that routine, or u can make a rule never to do it in ur room, just make it different cause it will remind u of doing the full PMO, i got lazy with it btw now im relapsing.

    thanks man i'll eventually tell you by the way of to me it is a valueable approach, as i'll try it. For now, and it's 3 days, abstaining from P is much less of a problem. Let's see già it goes on!
