    Hi everyone,

    I'm so glad I found this community. I hope it will help me to make positive changes in my life. I'm a 28 y/o male. I started watching porn when I was 15 y/o and I couldn't quit for more than 3 weeks. I really wanna improve my life because I'm lackin social skills and it's making me depressed because I simply can't stop. It's is destroying me in so many ways...

    I will try to reboot for 90 days. I will try to read as much as posts on this forum to keep me focussed. Hopefully the groupcalls will help me too.

    Do any of you have some tips?

    Don't forget the reason why do you want to quit the porn
    If you forgot the reason, you will get trap again.
    Whatever you have written is necessary for a good start
    Keep it up

    I have been able to go a month and a half without PM with a new why of thinking. It came from a podcast I’ve been listening to which has help me more than other ways.
    Next time you get an urge to PM, get inside your body and observe what you feel. Lean into that urge and fully embrace it, knowing you are not going to do anything with it. Be ok having your body and mind feel uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, but that feeling is not dangerous.
    Sit with that heavy, fast, tight uncomfortable feeling. We think that once we get an urge we have already failed, been defeated, but that is not true. Learn to process that urge and get to the other side of it without PM.
    Think of it as a little toddler that is throwing a fit until it gets what it wants.
    Practice that with like 10 urges without acting on it, and you will be able to understand your body and mind more.

    This has helped me so far and it is a different type of approach than just trying to “fight” the urge.
