ive been aware of my porn addiction for around a year now, been to a addiction therapist but as the prices were high and a change in my financial situation i could no longer pay for the sessions, i learnt alot and showed in those weeks i was able to co gold turkey. and when i was i felt great but always ended up relapses a week or two later. but now its just got back into the cycle of everyday if not everyother. and its killing me i feel like im on the verge of just being happy but this is in my way, when i go for a few days without doing it i feel amazing but always end up just relapsing. its really frustrating. any help ? tips on really being able to fight of the triggers.
im really struggling.

I'm fairly new too, but I find that if I find things to do not as a distraction but as an attraction to do, it helps. By this I mean doing something because you really like doing it rather than viewing it as simply something to do in place of PMO.
Also, if I have to think about abstaining I focus on one day or even one hour at a time and not think 90 days or forever. The hours and days add up. I know many will disagree but I'm finding that tapering down (frequency and type of P) is working better for me than strict abstention. I am seeing physical and emotional benefits this way.

great points...yea the last is not for everyone
Listen to me very closely.
Me and you will not win if we keep staring at the pain, if we keep staring at what we are leaving behind.
Write them down, let's write each of our goals down. Because when you can see it, you can dream it and when you can dream it you can become it.
There is no easy way out. It is bitter, it is rough.
If we've worked so hard, let's push for a reward! It is not over until you succeed.
Stick to the pain. Spend time developing yourself, your skills, your problem solving skills, your career, relationships, your degree.
Stick to these things even when you have thw worst of headaches. Even if you get just one word into your mind. Stick to the process. Push your mind, push your body.
