I was wondering if anyone could tell me what are their possible triggers before viewing/looking at porn? Maybe if we list our triggers we can be more cautious and thus more prepared to fight the urges.

When i get depressed or sad or lonely i have the sudden impulse or urge to feel better, no matter what the method is. Laying down in bed at night is something i need to be careful with. Having a  closed door is another one of mine. Almost every time porn pops in my thoughts first before anything else when urge rushes in. To be honest sometimes it feels like the urge have a mind on its on. I know it's my conscious, but the urge talks to me. In my head the urge looks just like me but he is extremely aggressive and negative. I act on impulse he talks. Growing up as a teen during puberty the urge got stronger. Whether it is non porn magazines, regular movie vhs tapes with some nudity, girls at school, or even looking in aunts drawers, the urge didnt care what motivation i needed to feel better. I did it. But i wasn't going to have a girlfriend in school just to satiate the urge. And since i've been addicted to porn i have done many reckless and stupid and downright crazy things just for that high from a climax. The urge is one of the main reasons i stayed a virgin till i was 24. As long as i kept looking at porn, the less likely i try to pursue relationships or fwb or one night stands. I did have good friends of both gender but when i was by myself the urge was there. I really wanted to tell my friends about the urge to get off. But i was too scared they would judge me. this was/is my struggle. And it was my burden. I hated not being able to always say No to myself. The Urge goes away with the after viewing porn and after i relieve myself. When i resist, the urge wakes up and is not happy. Sometimes i wake up after sleeping and before i realize it i have the phone in my hand. It's like the more i try to quit the worse the relapse will be. Only after draining myself is when the urge goes away. The urge wants me be itself. Sorry for ranting it's been a rough week with the urge. 

But reading all the members updates and posts and advice and encouragement from everyone to everyone is extremely positive and well appreciated. I am inspired by everyone who has joined this site. No matter if this your first day or 30th you matter. 

With that said what tactics you use to fight your urge? I listen to music or watch video game streamers and music on youtube. I sometimes exercise or play the game. I try to have non porn thoughs. Time to time i read an actual book. I look at tv and netflix like apps. Instead or watching porn i practice using my pc muscles (the muscles you hold when you pee) that helps me focus for some weird reason. 

To the ones reading this thanks. Hope all is well with you all
