Badly need to get out of PMO

I can't beat this, so:
Whether you're right or left leaning, this is real good advice.

 

You can.do.it by the.Almighty strength given to.you.from.above. but it is not just quitting activities of PMO it is.harnessing your.thought life too!

 

You can also join groups. I feel like that helps.

 

It happens. But don't give up. That's the point.

 

This one is pretty good.

 

Hi, man. Don't worry i'm sure you can beat it. I have just few tips, but i can send you my whole list later if you want :-D
So...
1) Find something meaningful. Some new project, hobby, now thing to learn. Something meaningful which gives new purpose to your life.
2) Cut off the urges as soon as possible. If you see girl in bikini, erotic article, nude celeb pics... Shut it down as fast as you can. Dont let it suck you in. It can be the smallest and most innocent thing that drag you down. Avoid them.
3) Don't fight it. Dont do the "i can't - but i want to - i have to be strong - but it feels so nice" game. It always win. Just dont play its game. Let it be, observe it. "Why i feel this way? Does it help me live a meaningful life?"
You can beat it. Stay strong dude.
Good luck on your journey. And to you too, @frazebam_isnberg

Whatever you do, don't be mad at yourself ok. 99% of PMO is the body which has literally programmed itself to do the behavior, the behavior happens outside of your own conscious decision making, it is just following a mechanical habit no different than a dog who has been trained to perform a certain behavior and when prompted with the usual signal, performs the behavior, like rolling over at the ring of a bell etc. Except here the bell is seeing porn or being alone, waking up from a wet dream , etc. Find out what your triggers are and then come up with a real plan to mitigate them. Right them down along with the plan to counter it, seriously.

For me it's like this: my main 2 triggers are waking up in/after a wet dream and remembering old porn videos that I've watched before in the past. My counter is this: immediately if the urge comes I do some exercise, or remove myself from the room and read one of the books I'm working on or watch an inspirational video that keeps me focused on my goals( I have dozens of them queued on my youtube watch later list) and that takes my mind off the urge.

Look up these channels on youtube, theres' really good content here about fighting PMO and getting your life in good health/order:

You're welcome, im glad to help.
1) Machine learning? So cool! It's the future, keep going and you'll rule the world one day. But if it's hard to stay focus on that you may want to find something more appealing for start to keep you away from P. Like painting, reading or stuff... Whatever works for you. But try to stay away from time killing stuff like tv shows or video-games. It's more like p-subs than something useful.
2) It must be absolute no-go if you want to win this fight. You have to kill it before it starts to tempt you. Every image and every thought strenghts the addiction and make it harder to overcome it. But don't worry it's not so dramatic :-D I don't want to scare you. But believe me, the more you stay away from anything bad, the easier it will be. Try to be as righteous as you can :-D
3) Right
I don't think i'm really good at this. Honestly it was easier than i thought. I just got my life back and i really don't want to lose it again

 

Good luck Mohit. You should be able to correlate with the mind more with your ML course

I and many of us are in similar situation. While we all will definitely learn from each other .. each one has to walk alone through our individual doors. Your mind can be your greatest friend and greatest enemy as well. Make it your friend!

Good luck!

 

This one is gooooood.
