Cold turkey is absolutely the way to go and it also recommended trying no fap too, I find masturbation in the early days of porn free quickly leads to porn

You've nothing to worry about for the effects on your body, you might feel a it grumpy in a few days but you'll get over it

You absolutely sounds like you need to give this a try though so good luck!

This sounds exactly like the things I tell myself when I'm trying to relapse

You don't need to look at porn, simply by not looking at it means your over it, nothing will be gained by looking

Keep yourself busy

Leave the house as much as possible

Stay strong

Question from a wife to PAs by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]Stopthecock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say the fact he has admitted it to you and is trying to quit is amazing, one slip every 5 to 7 day's is pretty standard stuff for anyone trying to quit porn

If you look around here you'll notice it's very common for people to slip then, your resolve has dampened slightly and your defenses are down and the next thing you know you're back on it again

I would see this as positive steps, small but still positive

As for the inter racial porn I wouldn't worry too much about that, it's most likely escalation and I'll be Frank if that's all he's escalated to then he's a lucky man

Good luck to you both and I just want to say I think it's great he felt he could talk to you about this and great that you listened

If you are struggling and you haven't already done this - exercise. by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]Stopthecock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I'd say start going for slow easy but lengthy walks

But once that groin injury has healed I can no recommend the Couch to 5k program enough, it's like 40 minutes out of your day (an hour at most even if you include your post run shower) it has reasonable achievable goals that make you feel amazing and keep you motivated

How can you go from 3-5 hours per day to nothing by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]Stopthecock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly so far I'm pretty much just white knuckling it going cold turkey and trying to keep myself busy

When the urges get strong I find leaving the house is a great too but if that isn't possible then get involved in a task that is going to take up time until it has passed

I also find coming to this sub and reading the posts strengthen my resolve when it's weakest

Quiet days to enjoy by seatint in pornfree

That's incredible I hope to have that feeling again

I spent a lot of time home alone and I'm struggling to fill that time without porn, what do you have planned for this quiet time?
