You said very well about not walking this path alone, I agree with you 100%. And yeah, for many reasons it may be not the best idea to make these big promises. But this time Iβm not afraid that I will break this promise, because I feel very confident about quitting this addiction for good: I have a good daily routine, plenty of mental tools to overcome the urges, and Iβm also planning to socialize more. I did everything I can to succeed this time. Everything will be okay 
And by the way, thanks for your support

Thought about pmo today: 6 times
So, this is my new approach. As I said, I wanna stop thinking about pmo completely and start enjoying my life to the fullest. To achieve this, I will track how many times I think about pmo during the day. This method is not easy to implement for many reasons, but I think I can handle it.
Today this method worked pretty well. Every time I get thoughts about watching corn - I immediately try to switch from these thoughts to something else. This is because I want to keep the number as small as possible.
I have high hopes for this method.

Rise above and beyond pmo. Fight back and donβt give in. When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

I love spring. I associate it with cheerfulness and freshness. And it is a great time of year for new beginnings and aspirations.
Last month I relapsed several times. Iβm on day 3 now. This time Iβm doing everything to break this cycle of relapses.
From now on I will keep this diary every day. I will try to share here my thoughts on how to quit PMO and become a better version of oneself. I will also describe the habits and routines that I implement in my life.
Stay strong guys.

It was a good day. I was busy studying and doing my hobbies.
I try to fill my every day 100% with various activities so that not a single minute is spent in idleness.
Also, today I had slight urges, but I successfully overcame them.

Iβve been meditating every morning for almost a week now. I try to make each session at least 20 minutes.
I can already feel the effect. I can concentrate better and my overall well-being has improved.

Thatβs awesome to hear! Itβs great that youβve already started noticing the positive effects of meditation, especially in your concentration and well-being. Consistency really makes a difference. How are you finding the 20-minute sessions? Do you have a specific type of meditation youβre practicing?

In a 20-minute session I fit three types of meditation.
First, I simply observe my breathing. I do this for about 10 minutes.
Then, I recite affirmations.
And at the end, I do visualization. Usually I imagine some beautiful landscape in my head, or I imagine myself achieving my goals.
Another thing to note is that I listen to binaural beats during meditation. According to some studies, listening to 40 Hz binaural beats can improve concentration and cognitive abilities.

I really, really hope that I will not relapse anymore. I donβt want to feel that shame and guilt ever again.

I hear you, and Iβm really sorry youβre feeling this way. Itβs completely understandable to want to move past that shame and guilt. Recovery can be an ongoing journey, and itβs normal to have setbacks, but each step forward matters. Be kind to yourself through it all and remember that progress, no matter how small, is still progress. Youβre showing self-awareness, and thatβs a powerful first step.

I have decided that from now on I will say a firm βnoβ to any urge or craving to watch β β β β . A firm βnoβ, without any hesitation. Watching β β β β brings nothing but despair and self-destruction.
I have also decided to abstain from social media for 21 days. Mindless scrolling ruins my productivity. I have also noticed that after visiting social media, my urges to watch p*rn increase significantly. So, I think abstaining from social media for 3 weeks is the right decision.

That sounds like a strong and intentional decision! Recognizing the impact that certain habits, like watching β β β β or excessive social media use, can have on your well-being is an important step toward making positive changes. Setting clear boundaries and committing to these changes, like your 21-day break from social media, can help create space for healthier habits and focus. It also sounds like youβre doing this with a clear understanding of your triggers, which can make it easier to maintain your commitment.
If you ever feel like itβs getting tough, remember itβs okay to seek support or adjust your approach to ensure your mental and emotional health stays in a good place. What do you think your next steps will be after the 21 days?
