@TheSeeker you are doing almost all the practices right, so keep it up. But youâre giving in to your inner bitch voice. Thatâs telling you do go easy.
You donât cold shower cause you donât like cold water? You think people start cold showering because they like cold water? I get that in winter at times, but you donât have to shower at night.
You donât meditate cause itâs annoying and you donât have storage space on your phone? It takes time to get into meditation, youâre going to like it as soon as you begin. Besides, apps help but you donât even need an app. Even a 5 minute timer is enough.
Basically youâre almost doing it right, but youâre being too easy on yourself. Letting yourself slip up in small ways because you reason that itâs a small thing that wonât affect you. Itâs a lie, it will.
Man up man. Youâre listening to your mind asking you to take things easy.
Never reason with the inner bitch. Because if you do, you will end up killing the beast inside you
Nowadays I cannot reach more than 4 days. My relapse days : 3,4,12,14
Today I relapsed. (I only saw soft porn.) Today I had a busy day but I relapsed. In the moment of the relapse I donât mind anything.
I donât know what to do. I tried everything.
Hmm, this addiction is very hard to break. Everyone here gave their tips and they are really great and awesome. You tried everything but you failed.
IDK if this will help, but let me tell you how I am overcoming my urges.
I donât use my mobile or laptop much anymore. I am only using the laptop to study accounts.
I blast music at high volume whenever I get urges
Exercising helps you get rid of urges.
Since my exams are coming, I only study these days. Now my max limit of studying for 1 day is 5 hours.
Always observe your RC companion usersâ streak on mobile. Target the highest streak guy in your app and chase him. Decide and say to yourself âI will beat this guyâ.
Use notion. Notion is a productivity tool that is advanced and powerful. I use the notion to track my daily progress.
Everyday, track your progress buddy. Let me show you an example of my notion daily tracking.
See my screen time. I spent 7 hours on youtube. Those hours I spent on accounts study videos and tutorials.
I would say, the best way to get rid of this addiction is to not think about PMO and NO-FAP. If you keep on thinking about it, you will get obsessed.
If a depressed guy watches more and more depression videos, within the next 20 minutes he will suicide because he got heavily depressed by these videos.
If a cancer patient watches more cancer videos, he will get scared and his cancer will grow.
If you believe in yourself, you will do it.
What you believe grows
If you think you are losing your belief, remember NARUTO. Naruto is an example of a true failure to a successful guy.
The whole village saw him as an outcast. Even Sakura, Sasuke and his friends saw him as an outcast. But Hinata, Kakashi, Jiraiya, and all the teachers believed him. But the best part was âhe believed in himselfâ.
Finally, the villagers resected him when he became a Hokage.
