ā— Create a journal brother @TheSeeker write down your daily activities and tag a companion along for accountability.

ā— Firstly find a purpose, engage yourself in that activity everyday. Do some basic exercises every morning. I recommend you to follow Push, Pull, Leg routine, 6 days every week, sunday can be a rest day.

ā— Spend sometime watching the nature think of your dreams, I usually spend time watching the sky, trees, birds on sunday. I usually sit in silence while my laptop is playing some calm instrumental music and I focus for 15 to 30 mins watching the beauty of nature and while watching I think of my dreams.

ā— Whatever your life goals are, start learning about them, read a book everyday realted to them or watch informative videos related to them.

ā— As I mentioned before your habits canā€™t be erased, you can only change them, and from my personal experience I have learned this that many time it was not the dopamine I was chasing, it was just bound to happen cause it became a habit for me to jerk off at night, no enjoyment just mindless giving up cause it became a habit. So change the habit brother replace it with some other activity.

ā— Follow the snap out of it strategy, coffee man can guide you more with it, though for me in simple words is to observe yourself from a third person view and tell yourself to stop right away.

Remember it takes a while to rewire your brain to new habits, be patient even if you lose donā€™t be hard on yourself take it as a learning step to try again for a better streak.

If needed go on a hardmode brother.

You explained it beautifully @LL667788 . Canā€™t get any simpler than that.

In case you still wanna read my original post @TheSeeker on ā€˜snap out of itā€™, you can check it out here :point_down:

Studying about and trying to develop an understanding of how addiction works also helps.

Target your weakness brother, many time we know when things are going to turn ugly thats the momemt you have to actually deal with patience. Fighting it will bring you closer to it, bringing your intellect in between will solve the problem.

The sad thing is that I always find a way out to relapse

How old are you @TheSeeker ? If you donā€™t mind me asking.

17 years oldā€¦
(20 charachters)

Ok, hereā€™s what I think. You will relapse again. Quitting PMO is hard and itā€™s not gonna happen overnight. You are bound to relapse again. What you canā€™t do is give up on the endeavour of quitting PMO. You have the advantage of starting early at just 17 years old. Try and reduce the frequency of relapses first. Give yourself small targets first and slowly expand. Whatever you do, DO NOT watch porn!!

I try to avoidā€¦ But I am in a trap

Iā€™ve been in the trap for over 10 years. Trust me, you want no part of this. You have no idea what porn can do to your brain.

I would be curios if you want to talk about it

For example yesterday after 2 relapses I become sick. Very sick. Phisically. (I donā€™t know because of porn or not)

Go ahead, talk about it. Speak your mind.

Porn addiction ruins your life
You will have sexual and memory problems. You will have a fake imagine about the life.

I have been struggleing for about 5 years. I try to quit but I cannot quit

Hey I was at the same position as you are right nowā€¦I have completely blocked apps like chrome, YouTube, Instagram,etc and given that password to my friend and also shared my addiction story with my friend soo that thing really helped me

Thatā€™s q good point.

I was very nauseous. I felt completely sick. But it could also be a coincidence. It was gone by the next morning

One simple advise is to distract yourself and donā€™t go into places that you regularly fap at. Get active, do sports, and the on of the best things is to do a cold shower when you think about it.
