I am a 29 year old man ( turning 30 at the end of July). I have been using porn since my late teens/early 20s. I have also been a substance abuser since the same time. I have been addicted to muscle relaxants and heroin, both of which I successfully quit in 2010. However, the reason I did not relapse into heroin or pill abuse was that I had simply turned my attention to alcohol and weed/hash. At the end of 2015, I decided to let go of these addictions as well. Weed was easy. I couldn't let go of alcohol and cigarettes till December 2016. I've been completely clean and sober for a little over six months now but I am gradually falling into a habit of compulsive masturbation. This is not helped by the fact that I work from home. Anyway, I am going cold turkey off of PMO for seven days starting tomorrow (Saturday morning July 1st). Any tips on how to anticipate and evade my urges would be greatly appreciated. Martial arts training helped me quit booze and tobacco and I plan to use that method for this as well.
