    The craving is much stronger than day one. Unlike previous attempts, I choose to suffer this time. I get up around 8:30 and Do a simple morning routine. Then I go to eat the breakfast and later go to the College library. With a different mentality, my efficiency skyrockets. I keep pushing myself in the discomfort and after a while, I no longer feel the discomfort. Instead, I feel fulfilled. After I finished my first task, I take a rest, and since then the urge starts to attack. It is still as bad as before, maybe even harder due to my crazy consumption of some of the hot models videos on onlyFans. But this time I didn't battle it by determining that I am not going to watch that disgusting thing ever. Instead, I tell myself that it's my choice to watch or not, and at the moment, I choose to make my dream come true through hard work. I tell my brain I don't if I am going to watch it or not. But I am definitely not going to do it now and today. It works. The resistance is much smaller. And combining with my meditation skills like breathing and visualization, I think it is much easier for me to face the urge.

    Sacrifice must be the best thing ever discovered, without it, nobody would have the desire to "lose weight" "Get a degree" "Launch a business" "Get a job"

    It's all about sacrifice to get anything of value in life. But porn is definitely not a sacrifice, it is a plague that so many of us have self-imposed upon ourselves.

    The greatest thing that can happen to someone is to have "Self-awareness" and I salute you on that brother.

    As someone that's been highly impacted by porn since my teenage years, I have only been able to break free from the chain of slavery in the past year or so. And I've never been better.

    I would like to share with you some pieces of advice that you can use to your advantage in this journey.

    Below are 10 proven steps (Use logic and make your own judgment) besides I am not trying to sell you anything, I'm just another brother seeking to share knowledge.

    You can also check my website quitfappinglivestrong.com and download your free "EBOOK guide to quit porn starting from today" it should take you no more than 3 hours to read the book and get 2 years of wisdom from my own trials and errors.

    10 Iron rules to stop porn dependency from this moment

    1- Set your date and time to stop

    Set a date and time to cease masturbation to porn and carry on as usual right up to the moment you select to stop – Don’t quit cold turkey from day one, as that will make you feel as if you’re depriving yourself of something. You must particularly not think that you’re making a sacrifice. It is vital for optimal recovery.

    2- Look forward
    Remember – you’re not giving up anything because porn did nothing for you. In fact, it only made your life miserable. You get no long-lasting healthy pleasure from it, and it simply kept you in its belly for far too long – a slave to lust. Get it clearly into your mind: you are losing nothing, and you are making remarkable favorable improvements not only in health, energy, and money but also in trust, self-esteem, independence, and, most important of all, in the length and quality of your future sex life. You’ll enjoy being a non-porn user from the moment you go through your last session.

    3- Have a final PMO'ing session
    There’s nothing to sacrifice – you’re getting rid of a heavy burden. Watch your final porn video and make an irreversible promise that you will never watch another video again or view women on the net as sexual objects no matter what happens. This is the most crucial decision you will ever make because the length and quality of your future sex life critically depend on it. What’s more, you know it’s the right choice actually as you make it. You know that you made the correct decision, never even begin to question or doubt that decision, and never let anyone influence or shake your confidence in your own decision.

    4- Be cool about the process
    Your brain will eventually rewire from the effects of porn consumption the more you abstain from porn use, but that doesn’t signify that you will feel utterly miserable because you can’t have another sneak peek. The physical withdrawal is very moderate, and it quickly fades. Take the time to appreciate that you won’t have to deal with any pangs after successfully leaving porn addiction behind you.
    Slowly but surely, reprogram your mind to function without porn because it can and always could.

    5- Don't keep waiting for the moment of revelation
    Do not try to avoid discussions about porn out of fear that you’ll be influenced to relapse. You must be highly confident that nothing can reverse your decision. Go out and appreciate social events right from the start and do not envy porn viewers; instead, you should pity them. Realize that they will be coveting you because every one of them will be hoping they could be like you: free from the nasty porn dependency.

    No porn addict wants to see their loved ones PMO’ing which means they desire they hadn’t begun themselves. Recognize that it’s not you who are being deprived, but poor porn consumers are. They’re being denied their mental health, vitality, peace of mind, self-esteem, courage, self-worth, and freedom. If you’re ever questioned about your no PMO lifestyle, just ditch the conversation and don’t even bother explaining the long list of benefits of NOFAP. Do not cast pearls before swine.

    6- Think about porn
    Don’t try to resist thinking about porn – it just doesn’t work. If I say: “Don’t think about a monkey”, the first thing you’ll think about is a monkey? Just make sure that whenever you remember porn, you’re not thinking: “I am craving just one more PMO’ing session right now, but I am deprived” but instead think: “Isn’t is great that I don’t need to waste my valuable time on porn anymore and I have no motivation to do so anymore. I’m a recovered porn addict!” Then you can safely think about porn all you want and you’ll still feel no threat of relapse at all.

    7- Don't sneak a peek, not even one
    Never be fooled into thinking you can “sneak a peek” just one time to get over a stressful life situation. If you do, you’ll end up trapped in no time at all. Never think about it one last time; always think of the clean streak. Don’t compromise your outstanding achievement by dropping your guard down, don’t slack off. Stay vigilant and disciplined.

    8- Don't go on a porn diet
    Do not use porn to quit porn consumption. That will make it more complicated and painful to stop because it’ll enhance the illusion that you’re making a sacrifice. You can’t treat poison with poison. Get through your head that by going on a porn diet, you will keep the cravings alive and constantly suffer and end up very confused. You can’t heal a heroin addict by prescribing fewer doses of the substance that caused the very problem in the first place.

    9- Never doubt your decision
    Get rid of all the porn content and cut all possible ways porn might appear in your life again. You were already a non-porn addict when you finished your last PMO’ing session. In fact, one of the best joys of being porn-free is not having to deal with it anymore. You have put an end to your own self-imposed slavery.

    10- Once free, preserve your freedom
    You will soon recover your lost powers back but be on your guard not to get trapped again. If you ever think of having “Just one last sneak peek,” remember that there is no such thing, so the question you should ask yourself is: “Do I want to throw my great achievement into the dirt only to get back in the trap that I have fought so hard to break free from? a disgraced porn addict again, every day craving those perverse scenes ?” The answer is “No.” Why not? “Because I hated being a porn slave every day – that’s why I decided to better myself in the first place and become normal again.” It’s essential to remind yourself if you slack off and unconsciously drop off your guard. A little reminder every now and then works as a powerful inner suggestion and will do wonders.

    The Summary of the second day
    In contrast to the first day and the week before
    My productivity is much higher, but I wasted a lot of time on FaceTime. I need to learn more knowledge about addiction. The time on meditation is not enough. Overall, I can see the hope this Time. If the readers of this post have any idea about how to build a habits and what habits are fundamental for quitting porn, please share that with me

    Don't stay alert all the time, and especially don't keep waiting for the moment of revelation because there is no such a thing.

    Let time do what it does best, take the good and the bad with a grain of salt. The most important thing is that you were a non porn addict from the moment you've watched your last video. You are actually already healed. Things will only keep getting better.
