Feeling of dissociation?

All I can tell you is what has worked for me. I have struggled with this for more than 30 years, and after all this time, here is what is finally breaking this addiction...

1) Finding a "why" strong enough to get me past the first several weeks of recovery
2) Develop new thinking patterns and habits during those first several weeks. Stop thoughts about PMO immediately! This phase is a day by day, moment by moment activity requiring constant vigilance. One of the more difficult aspects of recovery.
3) Deal with past hurts, emotions and feelings in a constructive way. For me, this was also very difficult.
4) Find other ways to deal with present stresses and anxiety
5) Be accountable on this forum, and help others where possible​

Don't fool yourself- this is hard. There is no easy way around it or magic pill you can take to make it go away. It is addiction. You need fight the urges and if you can't do it on your own, get help. Use blockers. Find an accountability partner. Seek counseling. It is possible to beat this, but you will have to dig deep and figure out what works for you. Good luck!

 

I would also say to set goals in addition to your NoFap goals. Those goals can be for physical fitness, money, stuff, relationships, whatever. But PMOing can't be a major part of your life or the thing you look most forward to. As someone else commented this is something that you will have to remain eternally vigilant about. Once that demon is out of the cage it cannot be killed only arrested. Although you do have to remain eternally vigilant don't become overwhelmed by that thought. You only need to get through today. And tomorrow you only need to get through today...and the same the day after. You got this man!
