Do you have tips on how to fight Porn?

I doubt that nothing has worked, it's just that all those things work a LITTLE bit. I mean you can't expect green tea alone to make everyone PMO free for the rest of their life right?

What I find is you gotta have multiple levels, that's why I track all these separate streaks. If you read around people are talking about different things that makes us healthy, whether it's diet, exercise, sleep, you name it. I think it may just take ALL of it.

I'm obviously not perfect with all those streaks but you know what, when I keep up half of them even when other ones fall sometimes the one that doesn't is PMO - because all those other ones are like safety nets to keep me healthy enough not to act on that.

 

Hey brother ..
I totally understand your problem ..
your situation is very common ...
I ll suggest you to punish yourself with appropriate task ..
Like as i do whenever i get into it after this i decide a punishment like
#nophone_12_hrs
#nointernet and many more
Ya this is my 3rd day of punishment i decided no porn for 150 days
#nopornchallenge #150days

With these punishments u ll come up with immense motivation amd confidence and again and again u ll break your records ..
Belive me ..

 

For me I try to challenge myself,
Try nofap for just a week for the first time,
Then try it for just 2 weeks,
Then add an other week..ect
Gradually nofap become more and more easy..
Good luck to you on your journey !!

Have you been trying the "no PMO hard-mode" style challenge for the past two years of your attempts? I am going to suggest a more mild approach to rebooting. I guess many NoFappers disagree with this method, and I haven't tried it myself so I don't know how effective it is, but I've thought about it a lot recently as an alternative, and it may actually be more effective for some people who keep endlessly resetting and relapsing.

I think, for some people, a no PMO hard-mode challenge is just too much change and difficulty all at once. Going cold-turkey on an addiction plays havoc with the mind and body. For some people, that is a source of determination and challenge, but for others I'm sure it is just overwhelming.

The biggest, most important goal of NoFap is to detach ourselves from porn usage. Pornography is truly damaging to the modern man. We all know that, and yet sometimes our brains are so latched on to the habit, that no matter what we know is best for us, we still go back to it in times of weakness. And a no PMO hard-mode brings a lot of weakness to a struggling addict.

So we end up with a cruel cycle where the no PMO hard-mode challenge is an attempt to break free from porn, but it's so challenging that it drives some NoFappers back to that same, evil porn in their moments of weakness brought on by the very challenge trying to take us away from using porn. It's ironic in a way. And also not helpful when you get to the bottom of it.

Instead, you should try taking on a challenge that is easier to handle. Above all else, you should aim to never, ever view pornography again, due to its terrible, warping powers on the brain.

So, make your challenge, here and now, no Porn for 90 days. That's it. Just No Porn. We know porn is far worse for the body than masturbation and orgasms, so it's the part of the PMO cycle that MUST be eliminated anyway.

This No P challenge could still be very difficult for some people, including yourself. But you will have a release valve, if needed. During this No P challenge, try for as long as you can to not masturbate either. But, if you feel really, really stressed, or you are at your mental limit, then it's okay to masturbate. But ONLY if you do not masturbate to porn. That's the key. Porn is still 100% off limits. If you need to satisfy your sex drive, it's between you and your body only. NO PORN!! And don't get in the habit of fapping continuously, or compulsively, or obsessively. This is only a release valve to help you stay far, far away from any form of pornography.

No P masturbation could have some benefits to someone really struggling in their challenge. It might re-acquaint them with their own bodies, without the exaggerated and fake imagery found in porn vids. It can get people re-accustomed to their regular desires and sex drives, since no one should be ashamed of being horny. That's completely natural to humans. But porn isn't, which is why it is the highest priority to avoid. Remember, in a "No P only" challenge, your M sessions should only be a last resort while you wean your brain off its dopamine-induced addiction to porn.

If you get through a 90-day No Porn challenge (with occasional personal M sessions to keep yourself away from porn altogether), you are well on your way to fixing your mind. In fact, the next step is to keep away from porn 100%, and either continue to "No P only" challenge, or to take it further with a "No P or M." At that point, because of the No-P challenge, you might even have gotten a sexual partner who can help you reconnect with real sexual experiences. If you have a partner, then No P+M will be much easier! But remember, the point of this slow scaling up is to ensure that you have the willpower to never need porn ever again. And after long enough time and with enough training, you will never need porn again. These are the gradual steps to reach that point.

Because, by then, you will have built yourself up slowly but surely into an ironclad man of willpower, resolve, and strength, whose wants and needs in life rise above and beyond pathetic sexual images on a screen. You can get there, but the first step is saying NO to porn forever. So, for now, all you have to say no to is porn. MO is fine...for now, while you develop yourself and detach your brain from its porn addiction.

Like I said, I haven't tried this method, but I will consider it if my own hard-mode attempts keep failing in the regular habit that they do so far. I know hard-mode is often recommended, but I believe a slower scaling up can be more beneficial to someone who is having a hard time with the most important step.

 

I think it's wrong to try and "fight" compulsive behaviours, because then they become complexes and you become addicted to the fact of being addicted, like the proverbial vicious circle.

You just need to accept it's over, there can be no question of going back. You do not need to wait for an indefinite period of time to be someone who doesn't masturbate or watch pornography, you already are such a person.

You are seeking to be at peace and the decision to not indulge these compulsions is merely the beginning of that peace you have been seeking all your life. The more that time progresses the more this sense of peace is compounded to the point where it becomes something transcendental.

 

Hey man, I have been using an app called Covernant eyes on my phone and laptop. It's the only thing that has worked because there is always a way around a porn blocker. I asked a friend of mine who knows about my problem to be my accountability partner and he gets a daily report of all my internet use including screen shots. Your messages stay private, but one thing is for sure, you wont look at porn when you know a friend can see what you are looking at. Also if you try and uninstall the app, it will alert your partner first so really there is no way around it. Hope this helps.

Spirituality. It will keep you in touch with the "why" you are doing NF in the first place. Without a strong purpose, it's easy to let your mind slip back into the habit. Find something bigger than you, it will always remind you that this is worth it. And most importantly, one day at a time. The streak should form naturally, not used as a means.
