    I had been addicted to PMO for past 9 years(15 years old back then when i started) and now i have been aware of my porn addition and have always been thinking of quitting it taking account the disasters it has created both in my energy level, emotional status and sexuality. I used to fap almost every day. Getting some private moments during my teenage days were sure shot door to surf porn and finally fap. It was almost like a reflex.
    And i used to search private moments just to surf porn. And later when i had to move on to college, private moment was always there for me(i didnt have to search like at home) and internet was handy. So guess what. Everything was outside my control.

    Now Looking back i feel that porn was also escape route to almost every problem in my life. Feeling lonely-->PMO, Feeling socially akward -->PMO, stressed out --> PMO, anxious -->PMO. PMO was my escape to almost every problem in my life. So i had not personal growth since i avoided to face problems which could uplift my perception.
    Now since I have been trying to quit porn for past 6 months although i had frequent relapses,i have developed some insights which will help in altering perception and eventually help in quitting porn. It has helped me alot although i am still learning and growing. it might help you too. tips -->
    1. Regarding quitting PMO we are always focused on "not fapping" which we think is the act that we should control. But believe me "nofap"is a outcome. And we all are only focused on outcome. Lets shift our focus from outcome to the "act", form destination to the journey. "Act" here is facing the discomfort and urges of not stimulating the nerves. We totally miss this. And every time we fall prey to it. So lets admit brothers, there will be discomfort, urges, irritation of nerves but hell yeah we will face it helding our head high. we will face it brothers, together. Every time we face the discomforts and urges, lets remember its an opportunity to take 1 step ahead. Lets accept there will be moment of extreme discomfort and like always it will try to drag us to the private moment. but this time we will stand still. like amidst the storm and after we face it, we will feel the clear bright sky just like after the fierce storm. And we will know this is not the last storm. hell yeah. and we are ready to face the another.

  2. It's a battle. You have to be ready to fight it every moment. We can overcome. We have to if we want to actually live life.
