It's so much better masturbating without porn , than edging. Do not exceed!

 

Edging will eventually lead to fapping and possibly long binges. If you feel like you're losing yourself to porn addiction, there is hope. I've been porn free for 22 days so far and what I learned is that what you do on a daily basis is important to your recovery. It's not helpful to look back at the mistakes you made and it's not helpful to set an ambitious goal of being porn free for 30 days. What has helped me has been focusing on what's going on today, just make it to 1 day of being porn free and build from the small progress. The positive momentum will lead to bigger and bigger results.

Another thing that has helped is to incorporate good habits into my daily routine. I try to exercise, do a skincare routine, meditate, writing in my journal, etc. What's also helpful for me is that i found a accountability partner that i check in with everyday. I also joined the weekly accountability group on this forum and it's very liberating to share my emotions in a safe and supportive space.

To be honest, i feel the reason most of us are addicted to porn has to do with something painful that's happened in the past. Porn is the obvious symptom to root cause of your addiction. Once you take the journey to discover what your root cause is and you apply what i said above, you will have more strength to resist the urge to edge. Hope what i wrote was helpful.
