    Back to day one today! It's shitty feeling! i understand now why i lasted 109 days on my first attempt...I had a GF and there was always the "Ah well only got to wait until the weekend to have sex" but now thats gone, I'm yoyo'ing back and forth...Can't seem to get a grip and go longer than a week.

    I think my main problem has i haven't set small goals or celebrated my small wins! I just think "ok that it, I'm giving up forever" then 3 days later back to day one!

    I don't watch porn anymore, but when it's getting hard my mind is fantasising about sex with my GF by around day 2 and i think that ultimately affects me the next day or two. I just want to give this up for good!

    Ok first goal 7 days!

    Good idea to start small! Fantasies are a huge problem for me, too, bigger than porn. I've had to be really really diligent in shutting down those thoughts as soon as they come. And any moments when I haven't and have allowed myself to entertain them for more than a moment, the struggles/urges like double and triple. For me, it's been helpful to just kind of... yell at myself for a second in my mind when I have those thoughts. I just go "NOPE!" and then I let my mind go blank for a second and I give myself an option: First option, obviously, is to move my thoughts along to something better. Second option is... you can think about that crap if you want to, but just remember that it's going to make not Ming a million times harder. Is that really what you want?

    Anyway, Idk if that helps, but that's the pattern I've gotten into and it seems to be working for me so far.

    Yeah that sounds great! Going to put that into practice...I'm really open to trying anything new now, to stop this urge!

    Currently reading "psycho-cybernetics" why did I take so long to pick up this book? It's amazing so far! All about creating a new self image etc!
