Who has advice?

When breaking any addiction the early days are strictly about willpower. It's difficult and there is no other way around it.

You have to reach a point where the status quo is 100% unacceptable in your mind and things simply MUST change. For myself, I had hated what I had become and decided I would rather eat shit and die than spend another millisecond of my life as a worthless and disgusting coomer. I was angry and I used my anger to fuel me to better myself.

This mentality is what helped me when things were tough.

 

Sounds like @swissarmyknight you need to take a few simple actions in addition to your decision to stop the pornography and masturbation loop. First thing is know that sexual desire is primal and one of the strongest urges, and the easy availability of porn and our sex-saturated culture only add fuel to the addiction.

I looked it up this morning, a full 43% of men in the US have viewed porn in the past week. A full 64% have viewed porn in the past year.

When I made the decision to stop my PMO addiction (after 40+ years, take a look at my journal if there's interest) I deleted all 1.8TB of porn of all my devices, I got an Accountability Partner, I signed up for a weekly NoFap.com session from this site, I started listening to podcasts on being porn-free (I listen to Porn Free Radio and it's great) and I installed a strong porn blocker (I use CovenantEyes FWIW with my AP being the person who knows when it gets uninstalled and gets the weekly reports).

You do NOT need to have white-knuckle willpower or take cold showers, necessarily. (They can help, but...) You need awareness of the triggers but also have some guard-rails - right now you know where the weakness lies, you need to act on this information.

I know the time of day, the thoughts in my head, my emotional and physical state, as well as the surroundings where I'm tempted to look at pornography. And I have new habits in those times, written action plans, as well as phone numbers of my AP's to call.

What have you done so far as far as this is concerned, and what remains to be done?
