Rebooting for good

Hello everyone, my name is Daniel, i'm 31 years old.
I have been using porn ever since i was maybe 14 or 16 years old.
I had periods where i did it 1 every day to periods(rare) where i did it once a week or rarer.
I did try to stop a few times but without following any goal, technique or schedule. I failed every time.
Starting this year i tried tried to lessen the times and  I did it managing to do it only 2 times a week on average, but still had highs when i did it 3-4 times a week.
What made me stop was the craving/the trigger i had one night about a family member(i instantly knew it was because of the things i watched). That scared me so bad i couldn't move. That was the moment i decided i can't do this anymore, my only options were stop watching porn, or cutting off my penis to stop myself from doing a really really stupid thing because of my own addiction.
I am halfway through day 7.
I decided that i need to avoid anything that could trigger me, and i have been avoiding them successfully for now.
What helped me keep myself still that night was the 5 seconds rule(though it was more like 20 or so minutes until i calmed myself down and the urge faded away).
Basically whenever i feel any urges i start counting back from 5 to 1, again and again, for a few good minutes, if it doesn't fade away i change to saying something more complex, a mantra if you will, in my case it was a prayer, but i guess it can be anything as long as it's a long line of words you know by heart and you need to focus to say them in the right order.
Decided to hold a journal as well, on which i'm writing on what day i am of my reboot, what happened that day, how it made me feel, how my urges were, and what i am grateful for that day. I'm only on day 3 of my journal but it looks like it's working ok.
Another thing i noticed works for me, especially when i have recurring thoughts, no matter the type of thoughts they are, is writing them down, writing how i feel about them and just generally rambling about the subject that keeps popping on in my mind. After writing that down the recurring thoughts seem to fade and stop. After that night i kept having thoughts about my family member but after writing them down, they faded away and it seems like it's ok.
I started working out at home as well,(light exercises, a few sets of push-ups a day, a few sets of abs a day, some weight lifting), hope this will help keep me in check.
Overall that's my story so far, i will try and post updates every few days about how things are going.
Thank you for this awesome place where we can help each other get past our problems.
Have a great day everyone.

So far, so good.
I am currently on day 11 of the reboot.
Had a few moments when the cravings appeared but i just forced myself to think at other things (using the 5 second rule and just repeating something in my mind and focusing on the breath for 5-10-20 minutes, until the craving faded).
While searching for some things online i ended up seeing a image or 2 that triggered the cravings but i managed to move pass them using the same technique.
Reading at least a half an hour a day - currently just finished a simple novel - meditating at least every other day and doing light workout at home.
Things look good.
I am probably in flat line right now so that's why it looks like it's pretty easy. I will see how things go when i exit flat line.
We'll see how the next days go(i think it's going to be ok).

Today ... i relapsed (only MO without any fantasizing or anything, just physical stimulation).
Not sure if i should drop the counter or not since my main goal is to quit P at all costs with as little MO as possible(not having a girlfriend makes things a bit more difficult with complete abstinence from MO).

So ... 14 days no P 0 days no MO.
I need to increase the periods between MO's at all costs...

In the past week, i think i have went through "the chaser effect".
After my MO relapse 3 days ago, i relapsed again yesterday .... a bit a shame of myself but i know why it happened.
All i need to do now is to use the same techniques i used for P to wait out the need to MO, and be more careful as it seems i am a lot more sensitive now, even washing being somewhat difficult.

Day 40 of no P.
In the past 40 days i did relapse from MO but for now, it's ok as it was 100% physical (as in no thoughs of any kind were at the source of MO).
I can keep going, tough some cravings did show up now and than. I am vigilant, i know i am not allowed to stop and i won't stop. That habit is out of my life for good and slowly but steadily i am going to remove MO as well.
Things are going somewhat better, i have a bit more energy, can focus better, very rarely i get brain fog. Reading helps(i think).
All in all, it's good for now. Here's to a life free of P and with as little MO as possible.

Day 119 of no P, day 28 of no fap, going strong.
There were days when cravings were present but i kept myself busy or used distractions or the 5 second rule to keep myself away from it.
Reading more, working more, started working out at home (kinesthetics workout).
Thinks are going well, didn't have brainfog in quite some time.
Must still be vigilant.
Stay strong.

Great work! Stay strong, you have really come a long way!

Sounds good! Going really well. Theres nothing wrong with a good ole, light-hearted toss as long as its not to porn. Slap it around for a while and enjoy the feeling. If its not to any artificial stimulation its fine.

Day 139 no P, 48 no MO, but a new problem arose. I got a girlfriend, a week or so ago, we started getting intimate, well, while we were kissing and stuff, i had a decent erection, not great, but decent, when we started undressing, my erection kinda dropped out, it didn't died out completely, but no where near close enough for sex. Truth be told, i was focusing more on pleasing her than on enjoying the experience, but even so, this made me kinda think. Do you guys thing everything is in order? Was it only because i was to focused on her pleasure instead of enjoying the experience? She is good looking, not a fotomodel, but looks pretty good. When i think of doing this stuff with her though, i get a really strong erection, same when we are just kissing or hugging with our clothes on. Could this be a sign of porn induced ED?
