    Hey y'all. So I know everyone's reboot is different, but I'd like some opinions from those who have been through it, or are going through it like me.

    My last big streak was in March - 77 days. I got really close. Then I relapsed, and made it to ten once. But ever since then I just keep relapsing after about three days - five at the longest. I don't feel terribly unconfident (as many Fapstronauts report), and my life isn't bad. It just kind of boring, and nothing too interesting is happening.

    I work till 5 usually and come home and watch The Office. I wake up in the morning, and I'm taking cold showers. I even started locking my laptop in my car, but now I just unlock it and take it out.

    Now here's the thing, I go off to college in roughly 90 days from now. And I imagine just how awesome it would be to be off after a 90 day streak. But that's easier said than done. Any idea why it's so hard to get up to even ten days now? I made it so far before...

    The solution is simple. Design a tattoo that says something like "I watch porn and can't stop". Choose a nice font, because this tattoo *may* be on your back for the rest of your life.

    Now make a pact with yourself. No matter what, if you watch porn any time in the next 30 days you will have to get that tattoo on your back. There is no fooling yourself. You have to fully commit to the tattoo as well.

    Print off the tattoo design and put it on your laptop somewhere to help remind you of your unbreakable oath.

    Tell people that you trust that you have made this unbreakable pact.

    Only do this if you are very serious about quitting.

    I have made this oath. I am currently on day 10 and have no intention of wearing my failure for the rest of my life ;)

    Ask yourself, are you addicted to porn and/or masturbation? Hard to answer your question unless we know the answer to that.

    If you have an addiction, which is more or less a habitual pattern of the same compulsive behavior that is harmful, and to be honest it sounds like you are minimizing and making excuses as to why this is not harming you, I assure you your life probably isn't going to reach great heights if you keep fapping, anyways if you have an addiction then that is why it is so hard, you cannot merely wish an addiction away, you need to treat the root causes, so do you have an addiction or is it merely a bad habit?

    Edit: I'll just cut to the chase here, it honestly sounds like you are justifying your own PMO use and settling for a life of mediocrity. Now if you have an addiction and need help please seek it, if you merely like wasting your time and lifeforce fapping away uselessly to pixels by all means that is your choice, squander away.

    And so I leave you with this quote,
