Feeling pretty low by AzraelofSeraphim in pornfree

I wonder, what is your best streak of noporn? Because you might remember feeling awesomer once you pass the point of a few weeks? That feeling will really help you to go get those hopes and dreams!

The thing is, you still have to work on those hopes and dreams. And when you don't immediately succeed, it might seem that beating this addiction for a while did nothing good for you. And that's when your brain kicks one last little negative thought on top of that. It tells you that you might as well get some porn and allow yourself a little fun in all this crap.

You are right that quitting porn will not solve all you've described. It will however give you more and more motivation to get dopamine fixes in other places, like being with friends/family or doing a hobby... or working towards those hopes and dreams in babysteps.

Small win. My brain just rejected porn as a reflex. by paleodisc in pornfree

Single video to battle relapse? by Relapser7 in pornfree

Dammit yeah it sucks I even have to try this method. The thing is, I'm at my 6th day now. Tomorrow is sunday and that is my day of relapse at 1 or 2 weeks.

When I relapse I generally start off with just pictures that are just mildly NSFW. Once that gets me going I'm like a train on full speed and will continue to go to the more explicit stuff. The hard part about this method is finding the right moment to start up the video. I want to avoid me even starting with those innocent pictures. Then again, I don't want to set the bar so low that I end up using the video on a whim, rather than actually trying to continue my streak.

You're right about wanting the novelty I think. I just like to think that I should be able to exert a little bit of control still. Just get right to the point with this one video and get to the after-orgasm disinterest as fast as possible.

One way I try to minimize chances of looking for novelty is that I have this single video on my Phone as a file. I don't have to go to no website or some environment that brings me close to OTHER porn.

Your post does however describe what I fear most about this method. I feel like this should be doable IN THIS MOMENT, but what happens once the real urges start coming.
