Isolation is terrible for PMO. The more isolated you are, the harder it is to stop. Therefore, I'd strongly recommend you get as socially involved as possible. Figure out which activities/groups you want to be a part of, and go for it. I know that we all fear rejection, but you just can't worry about it. Go out, do your best, don't dwell on negative emotions, and keep your head up. In a similar way, become as other-centered as possible. PMO is an intensely selfish activity. In order to defeat it, it's therefore important to make helping others a priority. Consider volunteering at a humane society or home for the the elderly or something along those lines. Filters and accountability software can be helpful, if you don't have them installed. K9 and Covenant Eyes are popular. Accountability partners, both online and in real life, can be helpful. Accountability partners (and groups) can be found in this website's accountability partner subforum. Exercise is also great, especially when goals are set. If the addiction is severe enough, it may be necessary to go a month or more without a home Internet connection. It's a big step, but the improvements in your life will be worth it. If you have any other questions, be sure to let me know.
