All you need to do is make a post in the forum - which you've already done. All other information can be found in the opening post. Welcome to the Jedi Temple!

I can't believe I have made it this far, @Marcus Aurelius please promote me to Jedi Master I am checking in for day 60. Currently, my stress level is high and it is making my dark side temptations stronger. I have confidence in myself that I can overcome this phase. Every temptation I overcome makes me stronger

Congrats on the promotion. You got this!
 
Survived the first day with no set back, got my first 24 hours in. Found an interesting book called Atomic Habits, spent most of the day reading that. Extremely helpful in this struggle. Definitely a new weapon added to my arsenal. Talked about how one should shift their statement, for example when saying I'm trying to quit to porn to saying I just don't use porn. Interesting logic in rewiring one's brain.
 
First of all 3 weeks yes yes yes. I made this far which is incredible. Another thing is that I just realised that the reason for my success is because I gave up worrying about what would come next or what has happened before. I feel more focused on the present in terms of this journey, this focus on the abstinence itself has helped me a lot. Also keeping busy and avoiding triggering content has been a big help. Good luck everyone

Yeah, I've started to do a similar thing. I tell myself that I'm not the kind of person who watches porn when I feel a strong urge. It makes sense to me because the idea of "quitting porn" brings along ideas of struggle and relapse and it's easier to find excuses with that mindset. An identity shift is more resilient.

Maybe it's a bit like the "Do or do not. There is no try." wisdom from our favourite green alien. ;)
