when did I want to quit? a year ago I guess uhm I put restrictions on my phone and tried to forget the passcode n then I did, but I started to crave my desires and I found a way to get my restrictions passcode by using software , I also installed k9 web protection on my laptop it works fantastic but I also reset the password so I could by pass it I believe before all this I was going strong for a month, I’m writing this because I just relieved myself and now I have to clean up even during the time I was thinking do I really want to do this. The good me was questioning myself but I gave in as usual, yes I told my brother the software for the pc but my phone is fully accessible, he’s my younger brother doesn’t say much just says k I feel awkward wen I talk to him so I’ve stopped, I do cry because I keep failing and I hate it some times I fap to feel better but it makes things worse makes me more sad and it’s even harder to stop, please help me I want to fight this

Idle hands are the devil's tools. Find yourself a hobby. Something to occupy your time. Woodworking, crafts, video games. There are lots of options. Explore new and unique things that make you think and use your brain. To me this is the best deterrent. I etch mirrors and recently have been journaling my feelings and this seems to help keep me on the straight and narrow. Occasionally you might fail but you can't beat yourself up. You have to accept it will happen and try to prevent it from happening again but don't get to down on yourself when you fail. Otherwise you will just give up

Jee thanks for the response, i occupied my time by playing video games but was looked down upon for that, i was known as the family failure i guess, current in search for a job im fighting everyday the usual time i last is like a week before i relapse, longest i been is almost a month i know i can accomplish it, its just everytime i relapse im back to level 0, if yu know what i mean ;) ive managed to block everything that is sexual related, just after i posted that post onto this forum but yea thanks again for the advice, keep striving :D

That's your downside. Don't think of your relapse as going back to zero. Your human. We make mistakes. It's how you come out of it that counts. Accept the mistake and keep moving forward. You can do it! You heave had good lengths of time before you can do it again

that statement you made earlier "idle hands are the devils tools" its so true, i relapsed again this morning but while i was thinking about doing it i kept questioning myself, is it reallly worth it? what am i going to get out of it? how is this going to benefit me in anyway? its 3 second dopamine rush, just why? all these questions acc worked in countering the action that was about to happen. I soon realised its me whos actually the one in control because im the one who searches into the search bar, i choose the selection that works, im the one who goes the extra mile and for what a 3 second dopamine rush, it took place wen i was alone but the house is empty, i just really need something to busy my time, i know what do to now i must proceed no looking back just push till im granted success.

First of all - congrats to wanting to kick this habit. Porn can take over men's minds - if those thoughts and viewing of porn are allowed to stay. The question to ask is "How is Porn harming me and my relationships with others?" I opened up a local news website today. There were stories about professional men being caught for porn related offenses. They ruined their highly paid professional careers - because Porn had so overtaken them. A huge reason to get away from Porn - it can destroy your life. To fight the battle - find people who seek a healthy viewpoint on life and dating/relating. Find a good church that has fellowship groups you like. Find ways to volunteer your time helping others in the community. You will soon find the biggest treasures in life are in giving back. You will begin to see Porn as an obstacle and a huge waste of time.

Dude, I started playing drums, and got so invested in it for a while that I didn't have a want or need for porn. And even though I'm still struggling with my addiction I would recommend you find something you're passionate about that's physically attainable
