Would really appreciate tips on getting through the first few days of PMO streak?
I'm in a joint addiction with PMO, TV, video games. All media. I use it as a crutch to not feel pain when things go badly. When I use one, I quickly use all of them. So I'm trying to quit them all at once. I've had more success than before. However, this last week I've reset a lot. So asking anyone for help please
Here's some things I've tried so far:
- Completely removing any electronics from my house. That never works.
- Not removing any electronics, putting warning signs on computers to take a walk if needed
- Taking long walks when I feel an urge
- Meditation
- Emotional work to get to a healthy emotional place, not needing porn as an emotional crutch.
- Identify and minimise triggers in my life that make me want to PMO
- Read many books including "the easy way" and "your body on porn"
- Reframe the urge into the same kind of itch as with a puss-filled sore. You don't scratch if you want it to get better.
- Journal here when I have the urge (although I haven't done that lately)
- Putting pressure and having no pressure to stop and not reset (different attempts)
- Quit caffeine so thoughts/emotions in general weren't as intense
- Talk to a psychologist regularly
- Listen to audiobooks a lot instead of media.
The withdrawals from PMO particularly are so intense!
