Hello. My goal, if possible, is to avoid P&M permanently. I successfully stopped P about four years ago, but am occasionally aroused just by random images and such. M has been an addiction for about six years, that I have consistently (but very unsuccessfully) been trying to avoid. I think a recent experience I had changed my mindset in just the right way. I started looking at the future instead of the present. As a result, I was able to ignore the urge, and have made it over a month almost effortlessly. This was unimaginable before; I usually can't make it even a week, and my best streak before now was about 1.5 weeks. I'm religious, so my reasons mainly concern morality. I almost relapsed an hour ago, so I decided to join. Maybe I can find a boost of motivation here. I'm not sure I'll make it through tonight.
Welcome to NoFap where you are amongst friends who are here to encourage you and sometimes challenge you but not judge you. The enemy is here to steal, kill and destroy. What are your current strategies for combating the enemy called PMO?
Thanks. As I already stated, the most effective thing so far is just the change in mindset I had (described above). I've been combining that with greater religious involvement - prayer, reading, attending events, etc. Ideally, you're just not thinking about it at all.
