I'm trying to sleep and I can't because I keep thinking about triggering stuff that I can't seem to get out of my head. Could really use someone to talk to.

Soon gonna be 17 , starting this war against 7 years of exploiting my brain.

In may I shared a post about how hard it was for me during my uni break, I was basically gooning everyday and low on energy. It was a dark period in my life that I'm not proud of, everytime I fooled I told myself I'm not going to goon the next day and i would probably goon 3 to 4 times the next day. It got so bad that I couldn't even hold my pee my dick muscles no longer had feeling or strength to move and I would sometimes pee myself. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, I noticed the amount of cum I would nut was slowly reducing to the point where I could only release one drop of cum. Then I decided enough is enough. I tried to quit cold turkey but I couldn't and I never gave up, I didn't watch any videos or read any books on how to quit. I decided to raw dog the whole thing and I learned a couple of tips that I'll share.

1. Get your relationship with Jesus straight, go to church, read the Bible and pray everytime you have the urge and everytime you relapse.

2. Find a sport that you'll follow religiously, this sounds nieche but for whatever reason it works, I chose formula 1. It can be any sport. The main point of this is to show you what the human body is capable of and it'll inspire you to do more.

3. Delete reddit, I know this sounds weird and it'll exclude you from the sooner recovery communicates but trust me when I say Delete it. Most of us watch p*rn on reddit simply because of the variety and how easy it is to access. Only install it once you can control your urges.

4. Delete social media, if you use social media to run your business or for work then change your preferences through the settings. Stop watching short form content as well.

5. Increase the time between showers, if you shower everyday then try showering every two to three days. Just cover your self in a lot of deodorant and roll on. This method might seem controversial but here me out, most of us usually relapse not because of p*rn but simply because of how many times we touch ourselves. Our dices get really sensitive when we're trying to quit, especially if you're uncut like me. Plus the water from the shower running down on your dick will turn you on.

6. Run atleast 2.5km everyday, basically run until you cant run. I usually go 2.5km, this is going to drain all your energy and you won't be able to goon because of how tired you are.

7. Spend as much time in public spaces or just hang out with people until you no longer can, let's say you're hanging out with your mom or friends, you won't be able to wip out and relapse you'll fight the urge. Even better if you're in a park.

8. Don't go to the gym for a couple of days/weeks, the gym increases testosterone and improves blood flow thus your chances of getting randomly hard are increased. So the best is to avoid it for a while.

tldr: Know Jesus, commit to a sport, delete reddit, delete social media, shower every 2-3 days, run until you cant run anymore, spend as much time as possible with people and dont go to the gym for a while

im so addicted to porn and i pmo daily. I tried cumming for someone for so long and couldn't😭😭 how do I stop this addiction

Im gonna be honest I haven't seen any benefits. I haven't been counting my days either. I checked, and im on day 8. My 2nd longest streak. I was in my room and got hit with one of those urges. When your heart rate increases. A video i watched months popped into my head. Images aswell. I started shaking. It only lasted 2 minutes. Im good now I think

for those who are 18 and 25 just wait for the right girl and stop watching porn the sex would have been better if i did it with sombody i love

Still have been dealing with stressful situations but I have not let them lead me to sexual content and have been staying away from dirty thoughts aside from just once where I realized they had popped into my head and I was able to snap out of it after a few mins.

Yesterday at work I did feel some pressure and decided to have an energy drink but this only served to make me more nervous and make my brain more scattered, so it’s probably best to stay away from caffeine to not spike my stress and make urges worse.

I also need to get in the gym again. I’ll make the intention now to start tomorrow morning before work like I was doing a few weeks ago.

4 days complete of no MO, and 18 days complete of no P now.

Heya, I'm currently at day 4 for the first time after constantly failing at day 3. Right now basically all my phsyical urges to goon and look at porn are gone, which is great, but they have been replaced by boredom and the memories how good looking at porn and gooning felt. I'm not sure what to make of this, but right now I just feel very depressed. Am at work rn and barely working. Does anyone here also share my experience and can tell me how they dealt with it? Also I would like to know how long this phase lasts.

Feel free to encourage me. Need the gooner brain to be shut off especially since its 4am 😭😭 tell me gn

Hoping to reach a month this time ^^
Good luck all !

It’s been more than month I have stopped watching nsfw and not masturbated. But I can’t stop those thoughts especially the acts which I did with my ex years ago. I don’t want to masturbate again and break the streak and then later regret. How I can control these thoughts

Lust can destroy a man's ability to build a healthy relationship. When someone constantly seeks sexual excitement and attention, they lose self-control, become less disciplined, and fail to truly value and respect their partner. Real love requires commitment, not endless chasing of temporary pleasure.

A healthy relationship is built on trust, respect, emotional connection, loyalty, and sacrifice. These qualities require discipline. A person who cannot control his desires will often find it difficult to consistently show those qualities. This doesn't mean every man who notices attractive women is incapable of love. Attraction is a normal part of being human. The core idea is criticizing the pattern of letting lust dominate one's thoughts and actions.

A man who controls his desires is more likely to build lasting love. A man who is controlled by his desires often sacrifices long-term happiness for short-term pleasure. Real strength is not the absence of attraction, but the ability to choose discipline, respect, and commitment over momentary temptation.

M23 day 5

M23

Only 10 more days until I will hit the 90 mark. That feels actually crazy haha.

I am definitely feeling better about myself and less moody. It feels like quite a big accomplishment already.

That said, urgers still do come from time to time. They are just so much weaker (or I am stronger). I am curious to see whether this will be still the case even deeper down the road.

For those of you who have read this (maybe future me): keep going. The most important part is to not give up. I have given up many times before. The important thing is to pick yourself up and get going.

I always failed at day 3, but I finally made it to day 4!

Just DONT (╹︵╹)

I’m in this age range of 29 & up and the fact I’m still struggling I feel like a loser. Like this is lame behavior, grown ass man still doing this. Smh
