    By defining success as reaching a point of not doing PMO more than once a month for a year in a 3 years period.

    My best answer is whether it works or not, cold turkey is a step in the direction.

    How can doing once a month be a success? Why do it at all? Why not just get a life and stop sitting alone at home wanking to a computer screen and instead get a girlfriend?
    As far as weaning off idea.. I found i fooled myself with idea that MO to bikini models or twerk videos was more healthy. Its less toxic and does not wreck you as bad. But it still cut me off from having a real relationship with peopel and is addictive that always led back to hardcore porn binges.
    In truth it is easier to go cold turkey than ween off. I was so jaded I could not reach climax while having sex with the hottest girl unless I was running images from porn in my mind while with her.. in truth i was only using her as an extension of my masturbation. She was my hand substitute. I had trained my mind to only work with porn and not with people.. So no, weaning off is not real. Just stop it.

  5. Whether you’re going cold turkey or weaning off of pmo, you’re still taking a step in the right direction. I’ve met some people who’ve chosen to wean off porn and who’ve stayed off completely simply because their decision to wean didn’t turn porn itself into a forbidden fruit. By allowing themselves to have a choice and say “I choose not to view porn today” instead of “I can’t view porn today” helped them tremendously in their recovery. Most of recovery and living out recovery is about your mental outlook/view and the daily interior dialogue you have with yourself.

    Maybe because many struggle for months if not years to reach a 90 days milestone and thats it, then they relapse and they relapse combined with chaser effect causes back to square one , then it becomes a pattern go couple of days and then binge for a while.
