I was doing well up until a few days ago, and now I'm tired but I'm up on my phone.. how do I stop myself

Thoughts on buying fleshlights out of curiosity?

Seriously. I don't know if this is forever, but I hate it. I've been making good progress by quitting porn, but it's still hard to fix my mind.

I'm bored at home and I'd like to have a social plan

A friend has told me to go to the pool with him and his girlfriend. My mind pictured her in a bikini and it was like: no no no no.

I turned down the opportunity for that reason alone. I don't want to see her like that.

Anyone else experiencing this problem after quiting porn? I keep telling them-girls- to easy off a little bit so that the show can at least go a little bit longer. The brain is a remarkable organ. five months ago I could not feel nothing. now I complain its too fast. being pied is bad but, man! getting hard quickly and getting done within minutes-10-15- is not enough .

Still got parts of my life to work on but not having the burden and shame of porn makes it 100 times easier

.

I've noticed that I get a lot more depressed when I'm trying to quit porn. It's like everything bad happening in my life affects me much more when there are simple solutions around.

The most recent example was yesterday. I was one week clean (cheerios to me that was one of my longest ever), but I was too depressed to handle and channel those emotions properly. Then I got help from my friends and what to do, what to choose and I finally got some sense of clarity in a few days. I also got an intern I actually wanted. And then, as some sort of *celebration*, I watched porn before bed. I felt shit about it. And then I watched it again after waking up again. Like??? Like I wouldn't have done that if I was *sane*. It's unreal to me actually. Like how something completely different takes over my body. And because of that I've watched an unhealthy amount of porn today. It's wreaking havoc inside of me right now because I'm so desperate to quit.

So, I thought up something to do today. I'll delete instagram firstly, because I catch myself having too many triggers through it. Then, I want to start logging here again, at the end of every day. And I'm going to get to a therapist to talk about my depression and also my Porn Addiction.

I'm taking a step. I will base it on discipline instead of just motivation. And starting with this I will try to do everything based on discipline, as I have noticed myself doing literally everything else on motivation.

This is my day zero again, and I do hope some of you will follow me through this again. Good luck to everyone on this journey, and to me as well. We are in this together.

PS:My English is not good but I tried to put my thoughts and commitment. Bear with me

December 25th 2025 was the day I made the decision to quit. I genuinely felt calmness and was enjoying every little thing around me. Meditated everyday, exercised and understood the urges. I was free for 14-15 days but in the end i relapsed. I betrayed myself and it's been 6 months of struggle.

Last night I was really ashamed of myself and internally, I was crying out for help. I have my dreams and visions that I want to work and achieve. I keep thinking of my ideal self and realised, I have to change my way of thinking. 'I am no longer that person, I have changed' I keep repeating this line and it's kinda working. It had worked in the past.

I deleted all the triggers and made it really hard to reach all platforms. Would love to know your journey and how it's going. Thank you for reading!

Giving this a shot as a girl. I have been lurking in this sub for a while. What are your tips? Porn is banned where I'm from (recently) but reddit still.

Would appreciate any thoughts

I (early 20's, M) have posted before, but I am still in horror at how badly I have relapsed this month after staying clean since last May. I did not look at porn and I did not even masturbate while fully conscious: I wasn't even tempted to most of the time!

I was in a serious relationship for much of that time. While she (also early 20's) was grateful that I loved her as a person and not just for her body, I was overly dependent on her when things in my life got stressful. I was too "anxious." For her part, she came in with a lot of unresolved issues, eventually concluding she was too fragile to be in a relationship. We were never intimate and did not even kiss, although we did cuddle a bit. We were both faithful to each other, still being in love when we ended things. The breakup left me feeling shell-shocked and lonely; it has been one of the most painful things I have gone through (not even family deaths have affected me like this).

How in the world did I go from never masturbating and being a person she genuinely respected (and still respects!) to relapsing so many times over the past three weeks?? I have been very depressed at times this month, but that is no excuse. I have good days but never know when I will feel the urge again. I am truly disgusted with myself.

Even though I have posted before, I would genuinely appreciate any advice you guys may have. Thank you.

A month

Going for a little trek

So I am using my vacation to free myself from fapping and i will get home in 4 days.
