So I've always been dreading my porn habits. They bring shame and I can't get further in life if I pour so much energy into "Right click - Save, Right click - Save" Night after night.. It's been 22 days after listening to Matt cooks youtube video about what edging was and what PIED was. I stopped for long periods of time before but never completely cured it. Because I didn't know it was possible or what I was doing wrong. The addiction itself has been for 10 years hence the name. The first time I quit was after watching the movie 40 days 40 nights. I didn't realize it was an addiction because the way people always encourage others that it's "natural" I'm 22 now and not even having a sexual relationship made me stop. I guess it was a stress relief turned into a bad habit after the first time I quit for 1 1/2 - 2 months or so back in 2012. So I went 20 days and had a "wet dream" that night and then was aroused to "fap" I only looked at one picture and then used it as a way to "get off". It wasn't my usual 2-6 hour porn use edging though. So will this affect my current reboot? Also I deleted everything that could lead back to an addiction but there is still music videos and tv shows that may have a sexy girl that reminds me of something I used to look at. So any tips to fight the urges after seeing this would be good. Also.. I found this website after learning about accountability partners. So I'm looking for an accountability partner who can contact me via e-mail once a day or so. Thanks for reading best of luck to you all.
Hi and welcome to Nofap. To help you quit porn/ excessive masturbation, I recommend the following: 1. Set up a porn blocker on your computer 2. Start a journal on the forum, and get yourself an accountability partner 3. Watch The Tedtalk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSF82AwSDiU
