    Not in any particular order. Feel free to add on.

    1. Making recovery from addiction to porn a top priority.
    2. Praying daily not only for my recovery, but for healing for addicts and the victims of sexual sin.
    3. Putting monitoring software on all devices, screenshots get sent to an ally.
    4. Mortification in reparation for these sins, such as fasting and cold showers.
    5. Getting involved in a social group. Praying in a group, assisting others in their walk.
    6. Going to confession regularly, attending Mass, receiving communion.
    7. Reading spiritual literature, listening to classical music or Gregorian chant, watching videos that are morally and intellectually edifying; avoiding social media, political ranting, sexually suggestive music and vapid videos.
    8. Exercise, diet, rest.
    9. Studying the Summa.
    10. Learning Latin.
    11. Reading about the lives of the Saints.
    12. Going on this forum, sharing, listening and actively thinking about recovery.

    66 days is pretty impressive to me. I've never made it that far. Love to hear how you are doing that.

  4. My past story and wat helped me, u can check in my journal.I relayed only on God,prayer,confession,mass but as the days goes my closeness God decreases as i get hooked on to games,movies,etcs or an emotional state of being too proud or too low lead me to pmo.God loved me so so much but i failed him always.So i thought like this first my mission is to be pmo free then i can be closer to God because everytime i pmo, i can't pray at all or attentively attend holy mass or obey my parents or was telling lie on lie as i instead of working or studing i would be involved in pmo and my life was sinking.Only confession or residential treat helped me to be back on track for prayer life or real life.
    I hoped on to nofap,it really really helped me,it gave my support ,motivation and help.the prayer of fellow members in this group helped me a lot, as i know myself i can't stand on decisions for long.Am really grateful to this group.

    At the start of this streak i used to pray only one rosary that's in my family prayer and can't study even for 10mins ,after my achieving my 55th day now i daily recite a rosary extra,watch spiritual video and study one hour.Slowly life is going in the right way.

    I would add praying the Rosary and Divine Mercy daily (or multiple times daily) and reading St. Augustine's Confessions. His conversion story, story of seeking freedom from sexual sin, and brilliant, spirit-led insight/reflections are a powerful resource.
