What steps or discipline you followed that made you reach this streak, because even I can barely go 3 days without relapsing and 4th day is always a failure.

I finally realized that It was just a mind thing, I literally saw it as a battle against that urge, and u decided to not ever lose again. I also wrote down some watch words of my own in my notepad, Weneva the thought crosses my mind I just read them and tell my self "never again will I be a slave to this". Its kept me going . I indulge in other activities and keep my mind off any sexual lustful desires. I also by every means, keep my hands off my crotch.
I wish you strength bro. You can do it too

This is exactly it. I'm coming up on a year clean, and it's the only thing that has worked for me. Someone recently asked what the "secret" is to recovery. I don't think there is a secret, but here's what i said:

It's actually not a simple conversation, and there is no silver bullet, but to break it down into the most important pieces:

1) Control your thoughts
2) Deal with past hurts- do not run away from them!
3) Seek an accountability approach that works for you. (Some need software blockers, accountability partners,etc. For me, I was broken enough when I started recovery that just being here was enough)
4) Recovery must be the #1 priority in your life. Do not procrastinate. Recovery is extremely hard, and requires focused time and attention. Other things can come later when you have some stability in life.
5) Stay connected to others. Isolation and idle time breed temptation.

Very good! I remember I was suffering from this addiction also 15-20 years and for me overcome it and even for 1 week was not possible. After I start to reveal my heart here in this forum I immediately made 120 days. My further understanding that we have to keep it alive - our determination and our promises. This forum is very helping for it. It gives a lot of strength and conviction to remain free from this pornography and masturbation.
keep it as much as you can and by the mercy of Merciful God finally you can overcome it! God bless you!

It is definitely very useful to come back to this forum frequently and even before the urges arrive. I see it as a kind of positive programming of yourself, kind of reinforcing your goals and conviction. It works the same way as frequent use of porn and masturbation, reinforcing your addiction.

usually sometimes it’s difficult to tell about it to your friends or relatives. If you keep it within yourself it’s impossible to overcome. When you brave and suffer enough you can tell it loudly to someone and it’s actually begging of your path of purification.
Here is more easy and a lot of peoples will understand you because they trying purified themselves from this nasty habits.
It’s very good time to time remind yourself of your promises and horrible consequences of this bad habit.
