Frustrated - PMO ruining intimate relationships

[Don't Do It!]

Hi there. Just here with my first thread to introducing myself.

My screen name is Don't Do It! I chose that because it's the phrase I tell myself when I'm feeling like I want or need to watch porn or masturbate to images... but know I shouldn't. I signed up to access ongoing support and encouragement to help make my streaks of no PMO last longer than my personal best of 54 Days. I also believe that taking an active role in encouraging others with some replies to their posts will also help me to stay on my best path... permanently. My goal is to no longer access, look at, or participate in viewing porn websites... and regain the ability to enjoy relationships where sex and intimacy is a healthy part of the connection.

Sincerely,
Don't Do It!

You got through the first week man, that’s the hardest part.

Now you’ve recovered back into a clear headspace. Don’t throw it away now. Keep going!!

Think about it, tomorrow you’ll be able to say “I haven’t jacked off since last year” isn’t that worth it?

Hey, welcome, @Don't Do It!. Congratulations on one week. In my experience the first 30-90 days or so is the most difficult, and then it just becomes automatic. Best of luck to you, man. Feel free to reach out to me for support.
