    I was addicted to PMO for 25 years. In fact it is the only thing I have known since as far back as I can really remember.

    Like all of you the day I decided to leave it behind was a constant struggle from then on for a long time. I went a week, two weeks multiple times . I relapsed a lot.

    Whilst I was fighting it I learnt to adjust my attitude towards it and this will bring you too the next level. You must learn to hate it. Whatever makes you hate it. Focus on that and repeat it to yourself have that on your mind. You will rewire your brain your thought process and beat this addiction. This is what was my motivation.It was the thought of being a pervert. I was a pervert yet I didn't want to be. I kept this in mind constantly.

    If I went to a football match I was just a pervert at a football match. If I went out dressed up no matter how good I looked it didn't matter because I was just a dressed up pervert. If I got some looks from the ladies they were just looking at a pervert . Every time I bought a new pair of trainers/sneakers even if they looked the nuts. I was just a pervert with some cool trainers/sneakers. I looked in the mirror and I saw a pervert. I saw myself through my addiction.I had regular nerves in my stomach(you know butterflies) that I had turned into a pervert. It spurred me on to break this addiction.

    If I looked at porn and I saw the guys starring in them ."I just thought what a bunch of sad cases their perversions etched on screen forever. It was clear they were chronic masturbators living their fantasies for all the world to see and I was joining in with them! Like the pervert I was.

    Let's hope you never relapse again but if you do next time you look at P look at how sad and perverted they really are. Do you really want to be like that?

    Guy's find your motivation to beat it and use that to fuel your hate for your addiction. I was addicted for 25 years and now I absolutely detest what I used to do. The thought of ever PMOing again makes me feel sick and now it's easy not to relapse.

    It's a psychological addiction. Rewire your thought process that is the key to beating it.

    All the best guys. I know you can beat it if I can anyone can!!

    If it worked for you than it'll work for someone else.

    I myself have stayed positive. Instead I think 'my addiction turned me into something I'm not. I'm better than this and I deserve so much more'. Just offering a different perspective. Some people respond to negative thoughts and others to positive. It's all about the individual.

    I agree with that.

    Your motivation was different to mine that's all. I still think you have grown or will grow to hate it.

    I think both approaches can work together. Last time I relapsed I saw myself reflected in the screen when a video was loading and the screen was blank, and I realized I didn't want to be the person I was seeing - a loser who is wasting his time on porn.

    But it doesn't mean you can't use positive thoughts at the same time. You can realize you're sick, but at the same time look forward to getting better and reaching your full potential. But as you said, it depends on the individual more than anything.
