I'm trying to make a lot of life changes to help with this.

I spent way too much time watching porn and masturbating. I knew it for a long time, but it's very difficult to break the habits I fell into. To try to help distract and to try to help grow better as a person I started trying to do a lot of other physical and social activities.

I think it's been going well. Most days after work there's some activity that I'm able to do, which I'm thankful for. The problem is the days that I'm home alone. My mind keeps jumping to the idea that "I'm doing so well, so why not reward myself or cut myself some slack". Those thoughts caused me to slip quite a bit, and I've been feeling them a bit today (It's been exactly 7 days since I last PMO'd). The past week I got into the habit of doing jumping jacks/push ups/sit ups whenever I felt the desire to fall back into those old habits. I found that's worked so far.

I'd for sure to recommend taking part in other activities to anyone who's able to. This can be anything like sports, different classes, going to the gym, spending time with nice people, going rock climbing, or really anything else that's social and out side of the home. If you're ever home alone consider calling people to talk to, or doing some exercise at home. It could help quite a bit.

I'd love to hear what other people do too.

In any case, hang in there!

 

The past two days were tricky for me, but I'm proud to say that I made it past them! This is the longest I've gone in a while. My all-time record was about 30 days, and I've very driven to beat that.

Thanks for the support!
Hang in there!

 

I often go on my phone first thing in the morning too. That's something I've been wanting to stop because I sometimes spend a little too much time on there.

I'm glad to hear that's working for you! Thanks for sharing!
