Help Me.

Dude what do you want to achieve in your life you're already graduating as a doctor at young age, that's more than great.

 

Sometimes pmo is a symptoom of another problem. Like loneliness, social anxiety or low self esteem. I don't now you so maybe this is not applicable to you. But look within and ask yourself the question if you have another problem too. Quitting pmo is part of dealing with these other issues.

I had to deal with issues around low self esteem, both fuelled and disguised by the pmo addiction. So when I dealt with my inner problems, I could overcome the pmo addiction too.

It's not easy but it can certainly be done. Good luck!

 

Totally agree. For me porn is a drug I use to numb any kind of uncomfortable feelings I have (boredom being the biggest one right now). But I feel depressed or nihilistic then I act out. So I try to remove those things that trigger those emotions (spending time with people, being physically active, being engaged at work, etc.)

Hopefully that helps a bit.

Advice from my personal experience. I was struggling to get rid of PMO for some time now and for me the kick-starter was taking Nofap as an experiment (of course I was also fed up with PMO addiction), like I said to myself "look lets do 90 days of Nofap (hard-mode, no P-subs like YouTube music videos with nudity, etc., most of the TV programs, even no fantasizing about P in your head), see what happens, you loose nothing, after that you can decide either to go back to PMO or to continue" (now I am aiming at a bigger streak as an experiment).

What can help during such experiment:
1. Pray and ask for help
2. Get knowledge about this addiction (nofap, yourbrainonporn, etc.), scientific stuff and others experience
3. Do sports you like
4. Try to eat healthy (less sugar, etc.)
5. Have a daily routine and schedule, when you go to bed, when you get up
6. Take cold showers (not straight away, little by little)
7. Mindfulness exercises and meditation
8. Fasting (once a week for example)
9. Lower your gaze (don’t gaze women, look for ‘beautiful’ pictures in internet, etc.). Even a little slip (‘ok I want to check up this beautiful actress’) will create a tension and easily lead to PMO
Good luck

P.s. during Nofap you will see what @PaulPaul and @henryhill are talking about, you will face your fears, insecurities, etc. you tried to numb with PMO and finally you will be able to treat them in a healthy way (get rid of them).

 

Number 9 is important. I just experienced this 10 minutes ago. I was looking for good lower back mobility excercises and ended up watching a video of a beautiful fit lady showing some nice stretches. I quickly noticed what was going on and decided to read NoFap instead. I feel great urges to PMO although before I felt nothing.

Internet is dangerous.

 

Even after 600 days I'm still avoiding triggers. Even non-visual triggers.
I don't blame the triggers though. That's just life and we need to learn to cope with it.
