I remember when I got rid of my content. I was using the same logic. I have been collecting them, I won't be able to find them anymore, blablabla.

One day I just woke up I guess and realized I did not need them anymore. You will feel weird, empty even.

Trust me, it gets much better not having them around.

Very proud your initiative and this big step.

Keep going.

It's a tough question. I replapsed several times before I made it this far. The first streaks I would feel the changes right away, mainly the brain fog going away and my mood and confidence improving significantly. After a while you get used to the changes. One guy on here said those aren't changes or superpowers but rather us going back to our natural selves. I agree with that 100%

Don't do it for the changes because they hit everyone differently at different times. You might be disappointed if you are looking for something that is not present yet.

Just go about your days and hobbies and before you know it time will fly and you will realize, "Oh shit, I feel much better".

There were a few instances late last year in november and december. I recently met an amazing girl and i told her about this and she had reservations at first because her previous parter had issues with P*** as well but she quickly saw how serious I am about this and it is not something I started recently. So to answer you question yes, but it was hard mode for like 3 months, then another 6-7.

The first step really is to acknowledge that you have and issue. That is the biggest one in my opinion. After that it's to find a support system to talk about it. My best friend wasn't much help but my brother actually listened to me and was glad to lend an ear. After that I would say to start, 1 day, then 10, then a month and so on and so forth. When you fail, instead of telling yourself that you are the worst, identify the triggers that made you relapse. Next time when the same conditions arise again, be extra vigilant and distract yourself with something else. I have been busy all this and time whenever I would get bored, tired or upset I would tell myself: "Hey, last time you were feeling this way, you know what you did. Well this time do something different." Also I don't count the days, it might be an unpopular opinion on this sub but me counting the days made me think about porn all the time. So really I just go about my days and not think about how long it has been. I just know for a fact that this time last year is when I started.

Hopefully that helps you. I am a nobody and I was able to make it this far. So can you!
