So I have been trying to cut down on PMO since the start of June and get over my addiction as I'm currently suffering from ED and relationship problems.

So far I've managed to go just over two months without any MO which I feel must help a little. I have also cut down my porn use massively; I have put a block in place and have set it up in such a way that makes it extremely difficult for me to disable (I have not disabled it since the start of June).

However I can't get it to work on google image search and I find myself looking up images perhaps once every two to three days :(. These occassions generally last less than a minute and when they occur I almost try and ignore what ever it is I  search for and click off the images page after I've glimpsed, it's never lead to a binge and there has only been one instance I recall where I have concentrated hard enough to become aroused.

The thing is I almost don't know why I'm doing these searches; the material I've searched for is genrally very softcore but because I desperately want to quit and get over this shitty addiction when I do these searches I get no pleasure whatsoever; it's almost like I'm having a mini anxiety attack each time and I get very frustrated with myself.

I was wondering if anyone has had any similar experience could give me any advice for avoiding it altogether and just give me the final kick up the butt that I need??? I know it will be disrupting my reboot and as I feel I've come come a fair way in terms of the MO and cutting down all the porn use this presents as the last irritating little hurdle that is stopping me from quitting outright.

Hey there xradrees, is it K9 Web Protection you use? It works on Google images as it activates a forced Safe Search.

As for why you're doing the searches... its your porn addicted brain trying to get a kick, its looking for that dopamine high! Getting clean from this addiction isn't an easy thing to do, just like any other addiction be it alcohol, heroin, video-gaming etc.

How much have you educated yourself on the topic? Have you read the FAQ's on here and on yourbrainonporn.com?
