Support :
The best way to get rid of any habit is to speak with people who have got rid of that habit (been there done that ) so find people who have successfully beaten this habit it’s up to you where to find them you’ll find many on YouTube ,this forum , online or the best place but not so widely used by fappers is to find someone in person find someone or a group who you meet in person and get to know what problems they faced and how they overcame them
This will help you to know the problem that you might face when getting rid of this habit and the solutions
Reading:
Another wonderful way which worked for me is do your homework study the phenomena,
I have read 4 books on this topic “porn addiction” it has helped me a lot reading a book is like talking to a person or people so it’s the next best thing after finding a support group ull get many suggestions to read in this forum itself.(eg breaking the cycle by George N Collins) I still keep looking for content
Change lifestyle:
Your old habits are associated with your old lifestyle so you’ll need to change your lifestyle be around people who don’t promote porn as something causual and ok to watch .
Build healthy lifestyle excercise physical , read (mental excercise) eat good
In my case alcohol and intoxicating substances were major triggers to watch porn u must have your own triggers understand them and make concious effort to change them or do something to correct it
Journal:
Understand this you’ll relapse (hopefully not) but mostly yes so to study how and why you did relapse maintain a book write down and keep note what happened when it happened and why it happened and try to not make same mistake again learn from your mistakes
Don’t be hard on yourself:
If you relapse don’t put yourself down you should definitely be focused on not relapsing but incase you do relapse understand your only human and it happens you only have missed somethings, some areas you need to improve if you get depressed and loose hope you’ll not figure them out mourn on your relapse but don’t stay down pick yourself up and keep moving forward
Don’t loose hope we are here for you
And yes to get rid of porn you need to delete it and don’t search for it online unfollow those hot girls page on your Instagram and Facebook and anywhere else you looking that up
