I'm trying several things to overcome a long enduring problem of pmo--so here I am!

 

Thanks for the encouragement!

 

Thanks for the encouragement and non-judgmental attitude!

 

Good/challenging question. I'm using a few addiction apps, I enrolled in an online program a few months ago but haven't taken advantage of it. I need to stop procrastinating there!

 

Thanks for the link and suggestions!
Here are some reasons and strategies published by someone here at NoFAP a few years ago:
-----------------------------Reasons to quit PMO-----------------------------

1. It robs me of my energy.
2. It makes my brain smaller.
3. It takes away all my motivation.
4. It literally makes me feel like shit, after I am done.
5. It keeps me isolated from the people I want to spend time with.
6. It teaches me to take the easy way out, and not challenge my self.
7. Because of PMO I don't persist in relationships.
8. Because of PMO I don't persist in my dreams.
9. PMO lets me feel weak and useless.
10. It makes me nervous and anxious.
11. It lets me objectify other human beings.
12. It makes me feel ashamed, and low.
13. It makes me feel dumb. (Which I am for wasting hours on pixels rather than people!)
14. It makes me depressed and suicidal.
15. It gives me a false sense of reality.
