You’re probably right
I’ll think about how to do it best
Although not being online most of the day is already a huge change. And to be honest i feel sometimes like being on withdrawel from a drug

Hey everyone,
I haven’t really been active these last days due to a cold I cought. I don’t feel very well.
The upside is, it’s been pretty easy to not masturbate. But still I’d rather be well again.
Hope you all stay strong

I’m a bit better today. My mind used that instantly to overwhelm me with really strong urges and i wasn’t prepared for that. So ist relapsed -_-
At least the urges are gone for now.
It’s hard to stay strong, when the daily life has been turned upside down by something, in my case the cold. I couldn’t really do sports or anything

Time is passing, you are maturing, your tree is no longer a bud, your roots are getting deep. Soon everything that you are going through will be a testimony of overcoming so that others can win. Friend, we really want you to win. Your life is very special, you as a person, your qualities, your perfume, your way of speaking, your courage, your concern for others. All of this makes you unique in life. I love you and I believe in you.

I relapsed again after only 2 days… and I’m nearly too embarressed to even write about it 
I don’t know whats wrong with me. I had such a good start when i started nofap with a week and two weeks after that… but now i can’t even complete a streak of a couple days
Getting away from pmo seems somehow harder than before. When my mind was full with it it was somehow dulled. Now when i have a day or two without porn and stuff, imy mind gets more sensitive to it as soon as i get into contact (even accidentally). I can’t even hold my ejaculation anymore which i could do just easily before
Im really frustrated at the moment… i would be so easy to just quit this and go on as before
I know thats not the right way. But I could just despair right now😔

It happened again
I think by starting pmo i began a battle in had not anticipated. The more ist try the harder my mind pushes back.
But i can’t go back to before. I don’t want to.
That means i go all in. I deleted all apps that could trigger me and disabled all accounts on such websites. It’s all or nothing.
But the first days are gonna be espescially tough since i’m really drained of mental and physical energy right now. But i promise I’m going to make it- i promise you, i promise the buddha and i promise myself

I still feel bad today. But my will to end pmo grows.
I took some time to delete every profile on social media, porn sites and other pages that could trigger me. I won’t quit youtube since I watch also motivating and educational stuff there but i unfollowed everything else. I even got rid of unhealthy Browser bookmarks
I feel the withdrawel. I got tons of dopamine from porn and social media and my brain doesn’t like not getting that. It feels weird and this morning my guts felt like they cramped when i fought the urges. And all the time there is like a voice in my head that tries to tell me, it wouldn’t be so bad to still use social media and stuff, that it’s nothing bad.
This opened my eyes. It’s an actual addiction that i suffer from.I called it that before but i didn’t really realize it. And to go on trying halfheartedly won’t work.
Therefore I have to endure the withdrawel now and stay strong, avoid any triggers and change a lot of my unhealthy habits to healthy ones. That’s really hard.
Thanks to everyone who messages me, comments or likes. It really gives me energy to know I am not alone in this!

2nd day now (again)
I feel really strong urges, both for masturbating as well as for porn and social media (to be honest i had nearly only erotic content there…).
I feel like some part of me is missing or like there is an unfilled hole and that is what is drawing me to pmo.
I have never succsessfully stood against such strong urges yet. But i realize that my mindset has changed and now i can do it. Possibly the many relapses and how bad i felt in the last weeks because of pmo did have an upside after all.
Still i feel pretty shitty. What keeps me up is the believe that it will get better in some days and that i will have all that energy again- right now i feel very drained and broken; but somehow also optimistic.

Today I feel much better and had a real change of mind. I was reading in this forum at morning and found a book recommendation in the thread “Leaving porn is easy”. It’s called "Easypeasy Hackbook"and is freely available online. I actually read it in one go, which took me about 4,5 hours.
I’m always sceptical about such life-advice giving books. But this one really got me. The 2 key things I take with me are:
- stopping PMO is not giving up something, it’s stopping to fulfill desires that are amplyfied or even created by PMO itself
- viewing the stopping of PMO as something positive has much more power than viewing it as giving sth up. Rather ‘finally I’m free, I don’t need that anymore’ than ‘I will use willpower to get through that tough phase’
I still have to think a lot about what I read. But it already helped me- a lot! And there’s a lot more to it than those two examples.
I can only recommend reading it. And a thousand thanks to @zafermukeri for posting about it in the first place.

Bro it seems like you have suffered in the past few days. Anyways bro here are a few things that i have learned trying to quit porn.
Maybe you will just read it like that, but i think you should think about it seriously
‘failure is a step closer to success’
‘Anything that doesn’t kills you makes you stronger’
‘Be humble but not a pushover, be a warrior but not an asshole’
And the last thing is an advice from to everybody
‘Explore the limits( not in relation to porn but other things such as skills, business or any adventure ) and find the balance’
What i mean here us that if you are not having problems doing something then you are not reaching your limits but here another thing knowing your limits is good and once in a while stretching them is good as well but staying there all the time is not good for which you have to reach a balance with other stuff in your life.
Thanks for reading the post.

Great to here that!
Let me give you an example: as soon as I read the book, followed each steps, I started feeling good. Now, it been more than 25day? I don’t remember, but I haven’t got any urge, withdrawal, dopamine lack etc.
Why?
Because at the start, I got rid of big monster, brainwashing, hence it was easy for me.
Now you can do it also.
1 advice I have for you. Change your thoughts from, I am leaving PMO or I will never PMO to I am free from PMO or I am already a non PMO person.
This will completely change your inner thought and help you cut the urges and withdrawal affect from the root.
I am waiting for you in the world of NON USER.
Come fast. 
Sayonara.

I nearly made 4 days again. It’s still not easy but i realize that i change and grow so the direction is good. I also begin to feel more energized and have started working out again since yesterday (I stopped while i had the cold)
I have thought a lot again about what is written in the easypeasy handbook today. But I’m not (yet) fully doing all the points and therefore it’s not completely working.
I have already shut off everything that is pornography and I actually don’t even have a desire for that.
It’s much harder with instagram. There are a few celebs and also one non famous person i have kind of a crush on. It’s not like there would ever be anything real (of course not with the celebs and also not with the other one; and I’m married anyway which is most important to me) but not looking them up is somehow making me feel like I lost people i care about.
That is nonsense, i lose at best an idea of those people, they don’t even know me. Still there are these emotions.
In fact looking them up is not purely because I find them attractive, but that’s one essential part of it and that means it is quite like looking at porn. Therefore as long as I don’t stop peeking, I’m not really free and the dopamine surge doesn’t stop etc.
I would be glad for any advice how to better handle this.
Thank you guys for your support

I also want to take a minute to say thank you to all of you but espacially to @FlowForCourage and @Marcio. You are the ones who are with me all the time. I can’t express in words how important that is to me and how helpful that is!
Thank you so much!

On the road again!
I think your focus should be on true relationships and true social interactions.
Pixels… No matter how well they are arranged (= form the image of a sexy woman)… are just pixels!
Everything is only in your mind.
We are not born to live a life of pixels’ illusions.
We are here because deep within us we desire a life of meanings and authentic moments.
