  2. One thing I recommend is taking up many hobbies that you can either do for free or affordably, or hobbies that you used to be passionate about before you hit puberty as a kid but gave up as an adult.

    Secondly questioning what is in the ejaculation. What worked for me was the realization that we are wasting our own body’s life energy when we release it (that is why it gives life to a healthy baby), when we don’t waste it then it remains in our body’s and helps to prolong our own lives.
     
  3. What is the cause you don't want to do it any more?

    I guess deep down, it is a decision YOU need to WANT to do for yourself. No one else is going to do it for you.
    If you are then really inclined in stopping it, then it will be about self control in the initial phases, coping with the withdrawal, and trying to get yourself busy or educated about what is happening and why.

  5. Keep yourself busy. Don't lust. Try to stay off your phone/PC as much as possible.

    Super easy, just keep your hands off your stuff. I mean, you have to make a conscious effort to M&O, it takes a bit time and effort too. It's time to be an adult and take responsibility for your actions. I used to weigh almost 400lbs, I'm now 250 with lots of muscle. At some point I had to admit I'm not a victim, that I had done that damage to myself.

    Lots of good suggestions above.

    It's about rewiring your brain, disassociating seeing women, or thoughts of sex with M.

    Distraction, such as keeping yourself busy with work or hobbies, helps buy you some time.
    Then there's the undoing of the PMO brainwashing, which is educating yourself about the lies that surround M.
    Then there's the psychological & physical aspect of just not touching yourself, which is self-discipline.

    Somewhat related...
    So, it's about your brain saying "stop" every time you have the urge to M.
    Every single time.

    And all I can say it's very much possible.
