Question

Hello,
Clearly, I am a young person of age, but I am addicted to porn and I do masturbate quite a lot. However, I started this journey a few days ago. I know this means that I haven’t been on for long but I can still answer your question.
I read a post on reddit from a guy who quit masturbation and porn for a very long time. He said that he is disgusted to watch porn. He also mentions how the feeling after masturbating makes you think like “What the fuck am I doing?”. He also mentions how he is extremely happy to have stopped masturbating and watching porn. In addition, he says that he would never in his life go back to his old ways of masturbating or watching porn.
Anyways, you can start this journey now. And I will tell you from now, it can get really hard, as I have tried this before and unfortunately failed. This time, however, I hope to succeed. Anyways, although it might be a tough journey, the results are very positive.
So, I’m trying to tell you that as hard as the urge to masturbate or watch porn gets, don’t do it. If you do it now and say “Oh I’ll stop tomorrow”, then you’re never going to stop. This has, unfortunately, happened quite a lot to me.
In the end, fight hard and never stop. Today is better than tomorrow!

 

Yes, according to the guy’s experience. I hope it works out for you. Goodluck on this tough but worthwhile journey!

 

Well, that's not much but after a bit more than 1 month, I don't have any interest to see porn again, I think I'm too aroused by a lot of things that I would M without it. After a small flatline at the first week, I constantly get aroused by thoughts mostly, and people sometimes.
When I get aroused by someone I just don't look at it, try to pick my cellphone, change my mind or try to think another stuff, not sex or fantasy with the person, but knowing her for example.
After 1 month I definitely feel more confident and a very solid purpose, I know I won't watch porn, M is a bit more complicated but I'm doing great, I don't think I'm gonna fall but, who knows.
This journey has been interesting.

 

Urges are kind of a part of every person, to a certain degree. As such, urges will never truly go away. The real question is how well you manage those urges. What do you do when one comes along? That's why it's important to remember along the journey useful techniques.

 

most important for us to remember is that strong urges will pass! maybe not for a few days but eventually they will ! and if we stayed sober , they will leave us alone for a longer time! But i dont think they will go for good , but its nice not to have to fight them often
