i want to stop help

I'm a 18 years old boy i have been watching porn since i was 13 back then i didn't know that i will be addicted to at first i watched porn out of curiosity but after a few years it became a daily habit now I'm trying to stop but it is so hard i feel that there something pushing me to porn and  I have exams in two months and the stopping is giving me a bad influence I can't study when ever i set in  a place alone my body keeps telling me to watch some porn as if it won't hurt i have been on a tow weeks strike so please help me i think I'm losing control over my self and thanks in advance

3alaa, I saw your post and wanted to lend my support. I was in a similar situation to you, I started using porn at 13 and began trying to quit at around 18. Fast forward another 17 years and I am still in the same cycle.

As someone who has been through what you have and still more, I want to encourage you to do everything you can to get off the porn now. I wish I could have back the countless hours I wasted on porn over the last 22 years. At 18 it did not seem like such a big deal for me, but I now know I should have been doing everything I could to stay away from porn. I sucked up a huge and valuable chunk of my life.

Stay strong and keep fighting it. If you can get it off your back when you are so young you will be doing your future self a huge favor. Just think of the hours you could dedicate to something useful, like learning a new skill. I could have learnt whole languages, or earned doctorates in the time I have spent fapping to porn.

I have been clean for 30 days now, and I am determined to make this one stick. Set yourself the goal of beating and old-timer like me and follow through. It will make your life a shitload less complicated down the line.

Best of luck

The cravings are really difficult to control but you need to stay strong! You've been strong for two weeks, which is fantastic! Now, set yourself another manageable goal! Just add another day. When you stay clean for another day, just add another day. I've been adding one extra day since I started 86 days ago!

The cravings do weaken but you've got to give yourself a long period without porn. You will feel better if you stay away from porn.

You're a young man and you don't want to go through your entire life suffering from PIED. Now is the time to stop! Good luck!

thank you for the motivation I'm now at day 27 of the streak i fell that more power is added to my body i began to make use of the time my self regret became very low my grades are getting higher and whenever i fell an urge i just go out to the balcony but my headphones on and listen to some music until it goes away thanks for all the support and thank god that I have taken the choice to quit

i want to know something if i had a wet dream does that break my streak or i just keep counting

Just keep counting. A wet dream is not a relapse.

Making a conscious decision to look for porn, looking at porn and masturbating to orgasm is a relapse.

Keep going! Good luck!

I agree with mousemat1, 3alaa, wet dreams do not count as a relapse. In fact, that is a huge win for you. They are normal for guys your age. Heavy porn users do not get wet dreams. I know this because, when I was your age I had not wet dreams, when all my friends were having them, and I now know this was because I was such a heavy porn user.  The fact that they are happening it means you are actually on the right track, so be happy.

It's good news, man. Keep going!

i appreciate all the help thank you very much today it will be a month streak and still counting and if anyone have any advice to me to distract my self from watching porn please share and thanks in advance

If you feel the urge to look at porn get out of the house, take a cold shower, do some push ups, anything.

Good luck and well done on 1 month!

i feel shame i broke my streak yesterday I don't know what happened i was reading an article about porn the next thing i know that I am watching it so am i a hopeless case or just keep trying

Keep trying man. I was doing what you were doing at the same age, and failing. I eventually gave up on rebooting for years and found ways to integrate porn into my life. That has been a major regret for me, because I wasted so much precious time doing something I do not even really remember any part of. It is just time flushed down the drain. You will fall, probably many times, but you have to keep trying. It will rule you if you let it. It's only when you are older you will really realize how much it took from your life. If you look at the journals you will see the age categories go beyond 40. Those are all people like you who have been trying and failing for years. Porn addiction is no joke. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try again. You have only failed when you stop trying.

You had a good run. You slipped up but your run has helped weaken the porn pathways. My advice is not to let a slip up turn into a binge!

You start again from day 1 and just keep a log of your relapses. Hopefully, the period between relapses will increase until you finally kick this habit.

Don't beat yourself up about it. You slipped up and there's nothing you can do about it now. Good luck with you new run!
