Minor but relevant success

So yesterday i was really horny and all. We all know how it goes. I opened some soft erotica page, took a look at the cleavage. BUT i decided " no i dont want to break my streak for 2 minutes". And closed the tab. The urges stayed, but i surfed the web, went onto the emergency button and then fell asleep without PMOing. I deem that as a success and as progress.
I ACTUALLY RESISTED THE URGE TO PMO WHILE I WAS LOOKING AT A DIGITAL EROTIC VIDEO AND IT DIDNT TAKE ME MORE THAN A MINUTE.
im proud of that.
Even more so, some triggers affect are decreasing. For example, my Twitter time line would be littered with random ertoica from others retweets, that would trigger me earlier, but not now. Now i can look at it, feel extremely aroused and continue scrolling while the though subsides.
What is more, i really wanted to quit PMOing when i had a dream about watching porn ( not even doing the real thing). Now im longing for the real thing. you know hook ups. Before id long for watching my favorite channel and certain videos, now i long for real contact. THATS PROGRESS.
frankly i dont think ill stop being horny for some time, because im 18 so horny is natural. Longing for sex is natural atm. But longing for pixels is not.
i posted this to see what you guys think about my views. and to tell everyone that qutting PMO doesnt necessarily mean youll become a professional pick-up artist. However, it will improve you and make you a better man. In my opinion, a man who longs for real contact rather than pixels is on his way to get the real contact and he will, one way or another, put in the social effort to do so. So if this is your case, be delighted you are on your way to become alpha!

 

Thank you guys for the support, its the optimal thing driving me forward.

What i did was at the very beginning i educated myself about porn and all its harmful effects. I identified my triggers, and avoided all of them for some time. its easier to fight an urge when youre not thinking about it. But when you are, this is what really helped me, lets say im on the browser, horny, and all. Instead of googling erotica i google " the ugly truth about porn" and read how much these actresses hate their job and how my stupid addiction destroys not only me but them and they're mentality. This really helped as was a way to put my mind of the urge while feeling more motivated to fight it. Another tip would be to never stay in bed for too long ( that would ALWAYS end up in a bad way). Finally changing scenes is brilliant. Youre in a couch all horny, get up downstairs have a juice and watch people for 15 mins and youre fine.

 

id like to add tho, if abuse is youre trigger or fantasy then do not google the ugly truth about porn because the porn industry is pretty much legalized rape and abuse of women.
