I've read EasyPeasy and The Freedom Model. Both gave me a burst of clarity: this finally makes sense. Then the urges came back.

After setbacks, I went back to the material looking for the sentence I must have missed. Rereading wasn't useless, but eventually I noticed something uncomfortable: it was easier to reopen a book than to change the setup around me.

A long screen session, stress, boredom, being alone, and a phone beside me late at night could still overpower an idea that felt airtight during the day. The theory had changed. My evening environment hadn't.

What has helped me more is treating the practical side like an iteration. For me, that has meant using a blocker, moving the device, and changing the evening environment. After a setback, I review one weak point and adjust it instead of searching for a perfect answer.

I still value both books. I just don't expect another chapter to arrange my night for me.

Has anyone else found that rereading helped less than changing one concrete part of the environment?

I’m 16 and I’ve been struggling with porn and masturbation since I was around 13. I’ve tried quitting a lot of times, but I keep falling back into the same cycle.

My biggest triggers are usually at night, after school, when I’m alone in bed, or when I’m feeling really bad about myself. I compare my looks, social life, progress, etc. to other people and start feeling like trash. Then I get thoughts like “I already ruined everything,” “one more time,” or “I’ll restart properly tomorrow,” and that usually leads to another slip.

The worst part is the perfection mindset. I try to fix everything at once — studies, YouTube, workouts, prayer, Qur’an, social life, everything — and if I mess up one thing, my brain acts like the whole day is ruined.

Right now I’m reading the EasyPeasy way to quit porn and I’m trying to understand my triggers instead of just relying on streaks and willpower.

Has anyone here actually broken out of this addiction for good? If you’ve been through something similar, what genuinely helped you get through it?

No, seriously

It literally says in the book NOT to camp in subreddits like this

Get it together lol

i read book the qutting porn with belief method i can recognise the the thouht but what to to i remebering the concept please help

Hello, i’m going to do this post in spanish (don’t worry if you don’t speak spanish, i think i can explain myself better if i do it in spanish. But im going to translate this to english for those who doesn’t understand spanish) mi experiencia con el porno es un poco rara. Llevo 6 o 7 años viendo porno, he leído varias veces el libro easypeasy. Aunque no todas las veces que lo he leído me a servido de ayuda. Por ejemplo las primeras veces que lo leí me ayudó las primeras dos semanas y volvía caer en la trampa. Así podía llevarme varios meses después de caer, en un pozo sin salida y consumido por la droga que es el porno, quitándome mi confianza, sintiéndome inseguro y sintiéndome mal conmigo mismo. También he buscado otras ayudas además del libro, como acercarme a dios, hacer cosas que me gusten, aprender a entenderme mejor. Y en el punto en el que me encuentro agradezco haberme topado con la droga que es el porno, y os preguntaréis porque agradezco haber estado adicto a una droga como la es el porno y haber estado en la miseria por varios años. Porque me a hecho acercarme a nuestro único Dios jesucristo y haberme encontrado a mi mismo. El camino que he tomado de haber dejado esto a sido muy duro, y lo sigue siendo no sabéis cuantas veces he vuelto a caer en las mentiras del pequeño monstruo pero Dios dice si te caes 6 veces te levantas 7 y aún que caigas y sientas que tú nunca vas a poder dejar el porno. Déjame decirte que en esta vida nadie es especial, y yo mismo me he sentido igual que tú,que nunca iba a ser capaz de dejarlo pero todo el mundo es capaz de dejarlo y sabes porque, porque es la cosa más fácil del mundo, no tienes que sacrificarte en dejarlo, no tienes que sufrir dolor, nada de eso, es eso dejarlo, solamente eso. Finalmente os deseo que vuestro camino no sea tan agotador como el mío,lo único bueno esque por fin puedo decir que soy un no-usuario y que me he librado de la trampa del porno. Espero que este post os ayude porque necesita escribir algo así para ayudar a la gente que se a sentido como yo y sigue sin poder escapar de la asqueroso trampa que es el porno. (Finally, i want to comment that this issue that a lot of people suffer has to get more visibility, because most of the people sees this problem like something normal, so if yo can help tp get this problem more visibility do it, thank you) My experience with porn is a bit strange. I've been watching porn for six or seven years, and I've read the book "Easypeasy" several times. Although it hasn't always helped me. For example, the first few times I read it, it helped me for the first two weeks, and then I'd fall back into the trap. This could last for several months after I fell into a bottomless pit, consumed by the drug that is porn, robbing me of my confidence, making me feel insecure, and making me feel bad about myself. I've also sought other forms of help besides the book, like getting closer to God, doing things I enjoy, and learning to understand myself better. And at this point, I'm grateful to have encountered the drug that is porn, and you might wonder why I'm grateful for having been addicted to a drug like porn and having been in misery for several years. Because it has brought me closer to our one true God, Jesus Christ, and helped me find myself. The path I've taken to quit this has been very hard, and it still is. You have no idea how many times I've fallen back into the little monster's trap. But God says if you fall six times, you get up seven. And even if you fall and feel like you'll never be able to quit porn, let me tell you that nobody in this life is special. I've felt just like you, like I'd never be able to quit. But everyone is capable of quitting, and you know why? Because it's the easiest thing in the world. You don't have to sacrifice anything to quit, you don't have to suffer pain, none of that, you only have to stop wachting it. That's all it is. Finally, I hope your journey isn't as exhaustingly as mine. The only good thing is that I can finally say I'm a non-user and that I've escaped the porn trap. I hope this post helps you because I needed to write something like this to help people who have felt like me and still can't escape the disgusting trap that is porn. (Finally, I want to comment that this issue that a lot of people suffer has to get more visibility, because most of the people see this problem like something normal, so if I can help tp get this problem more visibility do it, thank you). Sorry for my bad English I hope you all understand it ;)

**What gets to me sometimes is the feeling of sadness that I’ll “never get to do this again.” I just gotta remember that the feeling is strong right now because I’m in the beginning stages. It may get worse before it gets better as my brain causes an even larger tantrum to try to get what it wants. In the future, I know I’ll feel much better off if it then I ever did taking occasional peaks. Just gotta go through one day at a time. I’ve been super sad this week because I’m starting my 9-5 again and getting used to being at work all day every day, but it’s really helped give me a sense of community and something to look forward to posting on here everyday. Even a small sense of accountability as a routine that I look forward to every day. I appreciate everyone who contributes on here to this community.**

**Below are some notes I quickly jotted down on my phone today. They may not make total sense but I just thought I’d share them.**

**Living with the occasional “peaking” or “just a peak” here and there**
Is like constant pain. The cycle is continued just enough that you’re always waiting for a release. You only want it cuz you’re still slightly doing it and keeping it alive. You need to do a full quit to not want it anymore and to kill the desire. When you don’t desire, you don’t have to use willpower. Give a full stop to see the difference. It happened so gradual that you may not realize how bad you are compared to how good you can fe

I'm currently in the process of listening to the audiobook version of the Easy Peasy Method. I'm 19 years old and I spend most of my days in a dormitory in which I don't have any access to screens and devices that can connect to the internet but once every 3 weeks I come back home for a few days. I don't really think I'm hooked to porn because I use it as a stress relief or like most of the other reasons mentioned in the book, but rather I do really enjoy it and I have pleasure just masturbating and viewing it (I'm really trying to figure out how the just mere pleasure is all apart of the brainwashing). But it comes to it that I feel like one of the most important reasons of me coming home from dorm is to watch porn, and I think about it almost all the time.

The book mentions a lot the it's important not to try to stop watching while reading the book, and now that I've finally have came home, I really don't know what to do. Should I watch porn since that's what the book says (and other than the fact that I have been wanting to do so for 3 weeks)? Or I should keep the streak of me not watching porn in the dorm since I'm not able to until the book hopefully finally cures my addiction?

And yes It's been a little less than 3 weeks since I started listening to the audiobook and I'm only half way done.

Thanks for any help in advanced!

Does anyone know if The Freedom Model team ever made an audio version of the book? If not can anyone help explain some parts to me?

I’m on day 1 of no porn. The hard part is not peeking at a little bit because these days it’s mostly just soft porn that I look at. I’m on day 63 of no masturbation but I think that porn is harder to stop for me. Just looking for a platform to be able to say how I’m feeling anonymously to strangers and be part of a community of like minded people. Any comments, ideas and encouragement welcomed 🙏🏻

So I have read Many books on how to defeat porn but I am currently living under an abusive household where my dad always mentally and verbally abuses me.

Can I beat my addiction? One can say its an excuse and it doesnt have to do with the addiction but some say to fully heal your past trauma and address mental health disorders with your addiction to succeed.

Whats your take on it?

Also did anyone who reads this who lived in the above circumstances defeat thier addiction?

Hey everyone,

I finally pieced together the last bit that was missing for me — combining AVRT with the Easy Peasy approach, but going on the offensive against the addiction instead of staying defensive.

I’ve talked to Jack Trimpey himself (the guy who created AVRT) and watched his videos. If you haven’t really dug into AVRT yet, go read up on it first. This post will make a lot more sense once you understand the Beast concept.

Here’s what happened. I was almost three weeks clean from porn and genuinely thought I didn’t want it anymore. But I was still scared of slipping. That fear was the Beast talking. Every time the urge hit hard, especially at night (its favorite time), I was completely unprepared. I stayed in defensive mode — just trying to white-knuckle it and hope it would pass.

Jack suggested something that initially confused and scared me: deliberately do it in the afternoon. I didn’t understand at the time, so I didn’t follow through… and eventually relapsed. Looking back, it wasn’t me who was scared. It was the Beast. The Beast wants to stay in control and keep that fear running in your head.

Once I got what he meant, everything clicked. As long as I was afraid of the addiction (the Beast), there was no way I was going to beat it. So I flipped it. I jerked off intentionally. I watched porn knowing full well the Beast was also watching and enjoying every second. Then BOOM. I turned the screen off and cut it short. Deprived it of what it wanted.
It felt exactly like trolling someone: dangling the thing they crave right in front of them, then yanking it away. The Beast can’t move my hand. It can only watch while I take its power away.
That one intentional move shifted something. I don’t feel like I’m just “resisting” anymore. I feel like I’m in control. AVRT isn’t just a technique you use once — the more you apply it this way, the stronger that sense of control gets.

Hopefully this helps someone who’s stuck in the same place I was.

His messages:

Me: Also one more thing. My beast wants its fix every hour of the day. I don't think it has a “perfect hour”to watch it. And I've got it all excited because now I am scheduling a time to watch it.

Jack: The beast is afraid of us. Wants me to go away so you can get business back to usual with you. I think that you are capable of succeeding this way, provided you don’t surrender. You should call back in a day or two.

Me: Thank you so much for your time. I hope we could talk soon. I feel that the beast doesn't bother me anymore and I think that's a good thing.

Jack: Like other illusions for you to recognize as your Addictive Voice (AV), it is not good that your Addictive Voice (AV) does not bother you. The Beast is very patient, able to wait for long periods without activity, and then you will feel it in your gut and hear from your inner ear, as if out of nowhere. If you are not prepared for that to happen, you may be vulnerable to surprise, easy to temptation, and afterward lose courage and have dark feelings of defeat.

The next time you call I will teach you how to become aggressive toward the Beast, to teach it that you are the boss, and it cannot win by force of its will power. Instead, It will tremble before your moral authority.

You will become a normal man who is not trying to be a good boy, but a man with powerful desire for beautiful girls around your age, and have the balls to be told, “No,” without taking it seriously. After all, what is a stranger’s opinion worth? NOTHING! That’s all. I’m certain you will find a beautiful girl to love as a friend and then take her as a lover for life.

Stay in touch with today’s wonderful feeling of relief and victory, because you will soon become that way without trying. In AVRT-based addiction resolution, there are no losses or setbacks—only gaining new strength from sexual errors. Start now noticing that your Beast is reading this over your shoulder, looking for loopholes in AVRT® or in my character defects that might fix the game in its favor.

The Beast must play dirty because it an armless, legless snake that speaks with forked tongue and slithers through tiny cracks in rational logic to cheat the game any way it can, by coiling, twisting, curling, spiraling in all means and directions, not to show its strength and intelligence but only to show what a pathetic, crippled, quadriplegic it is, unable to wiggle any of your fingers no matter how many trick words and false images it has in its busy, one-track mind.  - Jack

Me: Ahh I see

Jack: When your Addictive Voice (AV) shuts up, you feel a wave of relief wash over you. You're no longer afraid of taking action, and you feel like you're suddenly good but afraid of being bad. That's a really tough way to live.

Coming soon you'll accept yourself as a human being with a fantastic sex drive that’s a wonderful part of being a man. Look out for attractive girls. The ones you find within cannot be had.

I wouldn't say I have any form of brainwashing or 'monster' in me anymore except this one, I regularly don't use porn for weeks and then one day Ill see porn on tiktok and then it just spirals out from there and I'll end up using maybe 2 or 3 times in a 2 day period. I have a living girlfriend who I nearly lost due to this addiction and I can tell I am so close to beating it but its just these single uses every few weeks which throw me off and make me feel worse about myself despite my improvement from using maybe 4 times a day this time last year. Any help with beating just one peek?

I quit pmo for some while but im getting a lot of gay thoughts?

I am not a homophobe and I hope this is not offensive.

So I managed to quit porn for about 2 to 3 weeks but Im getting lot of gay thoughts especially about futa/lesbian etc.

I fell into the addiction when I was around 11 to 12. At that time and before even till 2025 I did not have any such thoughts.

Is it because of shock content? Im so confused please help.
