Trying to leave porn forever

1 month, 1 week and 1 day.
That's how long it's been since the last time I saw any porn.
That also includes youtube videos and fapping of to sexy music videos.
And it's difficult, a fight with myself almost every day.

I still masturbate sometimes, but then I just Close my eyes and get i done, just to relase the pressure.
And, I have great sex With my fantastic girlfriend. We've been in a relationship for 10 years, and I've recently told her about my porn adiction. She's supportive, thank god.
It would be a huge failure to watch porn again after I told her I'm quiting.

Porn has been a part of my life for so long, ever since I first used lingerie catalogs when I reached puberty. After internett came, it was Pictures of baywatch actors and supermodels.
Then short videoclips as internet evolved and conncection speeds increased.
After that came downloads from torrent sides before I found pages like youporn and so on. Suddenly everything was available. That is about 5 or six years ago, i Think.
I have never been so deep in to porn adiction that I've wathced for hours every day.
More like half an hour to an hour a couple of days in the week.

The hardest part is that I've always been facinated by bondage. Guess it's a fetish. It's fun to do bondage stuff with my girlfriend, but it have never compared to the Things you can see online.
I tried quiting a year ago after wathcing a documentary about porn adiction, but failed.

It's been 1 month and almost two weeks since we sent Our adoption aplication to the authorities. We want to adopot a child and become parents.
This was the ultimate trigger I needed to try to quit porn.

I feel much better, many porn induced fetishes are fading, and the worst urges are gone. I'm more social, more focused and my mood is better. Before, I could be depressed for a Whole day if something bad happend. Now, it's easier to leave bad experiences in the past. But al it takes is a spark, a careless thought, a sexy woman on the street, to tempt me to watch porn again.

1 month, 1 week and 1 day, still going strong. I hope it will last, and that the urge for porn someday will fade completely away.
I hope my story will help someone else out there, and that someone also has any tips for me.
(not having sex With my girlfriend or the occasional masturbation is not an option, I am sexual beeing. It's the porn that has to go away) :-)

You're not trying to do anything...

You left porn

The hard part will be filling up your life with productive activities to keep the dopamine flowing
 
Congrats on 1 month and 1 day @KHeart :). Your story as you said about mine sounds similar! I am so happy for you and hoping you will keep on going.

P.S: Is your nickname a reference to Kingdom Hearts by any chance?

Yeah it's difficult to find good replacements for it. So far I've just been doing more of what I usually do. More work, more social activities and more work out.. I am looking for a New hobby. Some guys at work drives co-gart, been thinking about joining them.

Thanks! My nickname is a combination autogeneratet nick and a Shorter Version of a nickname I once got. So no, it's not from the charming rpg game.
