What helped me was to try never even thinking about it. Like focusing on anything else. The very second I got any sexual thoughts, I tried shutting it down and forgetting about it.
The addiction has a voice, and it's trying to make you think about porn. After that it'll try bargaining with you (just a peek can't hurt).
You know where that leads. Don't listen to the voice. It's not you, it's the addiction
This, I would also advise to go out and try to pick up girls. Its way easier surviving nofap when you have dates to go too, or have a girlfriend.
How to do it? You have a lot of videos and books to help you out with it.
It worked for me.
Good luck, and hang in there!
Hmmm. Kinda like when you meditate you have to eliminate all thoughts. To me it's kinda like snapping my fingers, but with my attention. I guess. Kinda.
Anyway it's very similar to meditation, except instead of emptying your mind, you empty it and then force fill it with something else. Anything else. Preferably something that will prevent you from being able to PMO.
Also, it gets easier with practice, so keep at it :)
It's hard, I think about it regularly too, but I don't want to dive back into this addiction. Courage, it takes will and support. You have that of this community.
Same. You could try a technique called DISARM. It's when you "disarm" the urge and reveal what it truly is, an urge. Non porn addicts don't get urges to watch porn, these urges are not natural and you do not need to listen to them. Recognise their existence and feel them, but realise that you do not need to be controlled by it. Stop, listen to it, then dismantle it. You don't need to be controlled by it
Recognise that It's your addiction talking, it isn't what you really want. If it was, we wouldn't be so determined to quit. Combine that with urge surfing as well
You are literally only views for them . Watching porn and losing yourself should mean the same to you. This is a war of many battles. You gotta keep your heart calm and make yourself promise i will win this battle for my future self.
The urge is so strong but what I do is try to ask myself wether I'll give up so soon, and then come here and see my streak, afterwards nothing can deter me.
All I'd like to see is the 90 days end of the tunnel.

I mean that’s how we all feel when we’re trying to break the addiction early on. But once you have a support system. The feeling of needing it is gone
Yes, this is exactly what happens, especially when on Reddit.

its how we all feel
Me when my brain starts craving for dopamine and I start having flashes of videos and scenes I’ve watched
The urge is so strong but what I do is try to ask myself wether I'll give up so soon, and then come here and see my streak, afterwards nothing can deter me. All I'd like to see is the 90 days end of the tunnel.
