New changes in my life... Any tips ?

[Sierra334]

Today it's the 7th day without porn...
I was looking at dating web site so ill be able to forget about the porn...  It some how helped seeing dressed girls and talk to some of them.  And yesterday i actually connected with one of them. Today we meet and it connected even more..  I had no intention of sex nor using her as an object. I don't know if it's due to the fact that my libido might be down but we actually had a great time. Took my mind off porn, we talked and shared alot in 2 days.
Never been on dating sites before but i guess i got lucky.

Any tips?

I guess more of that is what the doctor ordered

I read a helpful thread that said this whole process is not so much about the addiction, but filling your life so you no longer need to rely on the addiction.  Make a life plan detailing everything you want in your life, everything you want to achieve in every area, and how you can go about making it so.  This was the thread, it's long but worth a read:

Spending time socializing is way better than any form of PMO. Just be careful with dating websites, people can get "addicted" to them as well. Trading one addiction for the other.

Can't tell from your profile, but you sound like you are quite young and the fact that you have recognized your addiction and want to stop is is quite commendable!  I on the other hand am in my 50's and have been fapping to P since the age of about 10.  So you don't have as much "unlearning" and rewiring as some of us do, so you are at a great point to start. 
In my case, I think one of the fundamental things I never learned early on was "Value's and Virtue's".  Having alcoholic parents meant NO role modeling, so I pretty much raised myself, and although have my act together in many aspects, this deep dark secret of PMO is not something I am proud of.
Having said all that, my hard-reboot is more than just stopping the PMO, but actually learning some VALUE's in life and living by them.  So please consider this as well, as it really is fundamental in staying away from PMO for GOOD!  There is another (free) site, that you should check out, and further help your healing process. http://www.recoverynation.com/

I found however that this site along with http://yourbrainonporn.com, covers the "mechanics" of every-day urges, why they happen and how to deal with them.  This is a wonderful site with a ton of resources and people going through the exact same thing, so you are fortunate to have landed here, and I hope you take full advantage of some of the resources that are available to help guys like you and I recover fully.

Kind of ironic when you think of it, but the Internet fed your addiction and made it SO easy to get hooked, but also has the keys to get you off of it if you commit to it!  I wish you well in your journey, be strong!
