    Don’t worry Bro-you will make it!
    Remember not to think much about how many weeks is needed to something-just focus on current day: One day at a time!;)

    Yeah today I just lost focus. I saw a video of something that wasn't necessarily P, but then I just escalated it to be as such.

    Yeah it's always the way. I always make excuses that it's not porn, but I quickly get bored and then spend the next couple of hours trying to find something more exciting. Before you know it you've relapsed and your back at the start. Despite how many times this is happened, I know its 100% possible to quit this. Let's do this!

    What's weird is that I'm the opposite. I see someone "exciting" or "attractive", so in my mind I equate her to porn even when I know she's not and my mind is just lying to me, and then because I equate her to porn, my mind immediately goes: "Oh might as well just relapse at this point." If you want, I wrote in my journal about this today. I kind of what defines porn in my opinion, and what I know I need to stay away from. Feel free to give some insight on there, too, because I'm just learning like everyone else on here.

    Yeah Bro I’ve been there, done that.

    Recommending doing social media detox (in my case limit max 5min/day so that I only quickly respond to critical things) plus no youtube - not only you will no longer risk triggers, free all that time but in critical cases i.e. yesterday I needed some instructional videos to fix car-only place was youtube-so I’ve just borrowed phone from wife. Such emergencies appear like once per two weeks so doesn’t feel lack of youtube as source of knowledge. It’s PITA but when it comes to triggers IMO one either needs to go extreme or try to fight it (which is like increasing difficulty level two times). Wishing all good luck!

    Yesterday was haaard, I thought about it all day, finding a looot of excuses on why I could PMO. But what got me through these excuses and urges is : yes, you could do it, it would feel really good BUT that means right here you have a choice to make, forget about the reason you think you should PMO, the choice is "either I give up, or I simply go about my day and not indulge."

    I know there are some threads here I need to avoid for now because it's a trigger, even the word "f*ck" is, so I'll have to stay strong.

    Yes you will ;) And so will I!

    I don't have social media, but YouTube is a problem for me. I honestly just hate being attracted to women... I feel lonely all the time because I guess there's a part of me that wishes I had a beautiful and strong woman in my life to love, lead, protect, and serve, but this addict brain just wants to think about porn whenever I see anyone who is attractive. People talk about how you shouldn't look at women who wear certain things or whatever, but to be honest. Whether a woman dresses like an eskimo or in scantly-clad clothing, if she is attractive, it doesn't matter for me tbh. I just wish I knew how to have a clean mind...

    It’s not like I am proud of that but also not ashamed-TBH I am checking out nearly all nice chicks which happen to get close to me :D
    I think it’s part of nature, especially in those moments of higher libido-I would not beat myself over that one and maybe even argue that it is a trait of your masculinity-I even noticed doing it more often when on longer streak.

    I would advise not to worry and even appreciate it (as you don’t aspire to be asexual or something). Fight is not about not seeing real women but about removing artificial stimulation-that in long run can lead you only to:
    1)becoming sage monk, hermit who does stuff like semen retention 500+
    2)rewiring from PM to sex with real woman

    Sometimes it is better to focus on core issue (any form of P and things which trigger M) then go full asexual berserk mode-note that I am assuming here that viewing real women does not indicate immediate M-especially in public places :p
