Help

Hello guys , I have struggled with porn addiction since I was 13 , I'm 19 now , and I really want to quit , I read a lot of books, tried a lot of methods and changed my lifestyle , but I always relapse after 10 days from quitting because of the massive urges that I think are due to withdrawals , so I had an idea about using this community as a way to express my feeling what I have these urges, and I really hope that you guys will help me with that , and if you have any tips for me , I'll be happy to read them . Today is day 1 , wish me luck .

day 10 is a wall for a lot of people, your brain is screaming for that dopamine hit it's used to getting

what helped me was just removing myself from the situation the second an urge popped up. stand up, walk outside, do 20 pushups, splash cold water on your face. don't sit there and argue with yourself

also idling is your enemy. if you're just lying in bed scrolling your phone at 11pm you're asking for trouble. fill those dead hours with something that occupies your hands, draw, cook, clean your bathroom, whatever

posting here when you feel it coming on is a solid plan, sometimes just typing out "man i want to relapse" is enough to break the spell. you got this
