Man porn addiction can be so insideous. Your brain doesnt care becuase its the primitive side of your brain. The cave man saying "mmm,that feel good,me want more". Knowing all the benifits and all the negitives and still wanting to do it. For just a few seconds of bliss. Don't get me wrong, I want that bliss, but I want to become successful. I want to find the woman of my dreams. Get my reward that way, the way God (or the universe) intended to be. I quit for 45 days I was proud of myself. Then I started thinking about my favorite porn stars and how hot, nasty and sexy they were. I think just putting my thoughts in a thread like this helps. I was being lazy about posting and reading. That's probably why I fell off. In my mind I think" I'm strong, I can kick this, no problem. Denail can be an ugly thing. Yesterday I got up to three days. It was near the end of the day and I was tired. I still had more to do and it was cuaseing me pain and discomfort. Instead of being a man and handling my business ; I did the wrong thing. I wanted the instant gratification. I wanted to feel good. I gave in the the childish part of my brain. Do guys have any suggestions on how to recover?
That was a good run. Don't get discouraged. Start again. You mentioned God. You may want to join the Christian group. There is a spiritual component to this. God can help renew your mind so it won't want to stay in those thoughts when they come up.
Intermittent fasting, cold showers, high intensity exercise. Read this: https://gettingstronger.org/?s=Set+point I had to change a bunch of bad habits at once and replace them with healthy ones in order to finally make progress.
