Time to move on from PMO, HS (hook up sites), M and O. Below is from previous posts to remind me. I realise for me to be drifting to PMO I have lost sight and feeling of how bad PMO is. How bad is PMO?
SERIOUSLY, PORN IS REALLY BAD AND IT MAKES YOU FEEL REALLY BAD. STOP USING IT OR YOU WILL FEEL REALLY BAD! WORSE, IT WILL BE A GREAT REGRET OF YOUR LIFE
It gives you a limp dick, bad sex life, social anxiety, no confidence, steals your valuable time and makes you feel like shit. There is a simple acknowledgement to be made here. Porn leads to massive dopamine hits to the brain and becomes an addiction. It makes it impossible to enjoy anything normal in life. The reason why my mind can overlook the bad and pointless nature of porn is because I am an addict. I admit it. I have a problem with porn.
Our time here on this Earth is limited; it goes by in a flash; don't waste it! One more relapse can lead to years of one more relapses. You have a chance to come here and do great things, but there is nothing great about porn, it does not fortify you, it does not enhance you, it does not make you smarter, stronger, a better lover or more attractive. If you spent 10% of the time that you watched porn exercising, getting a balanced diet, educating your self and taking care of your self you would have the life you want.

Why does reboot take so long?
Why do I keep relapsing?
Overreacting is a trick your minds plays to get you to PMO
Are hook up sites classed as porn?
When harden the fuck up doesn't work
The Guy's Rules
1. Read these rules OUTLOUD everyday and back them up with the necessary emotion to support them. If you are not emotionally engaged, your in danger of relapse.
2. I recognise that my mind is not capable of watching high speed internet pornography and functioning optimally. When I watch pornography my brain gets large surges of dopamine, a chemical response strongly linked with survival normally released in response to food, water and procreation. However, pornography short circuits this mechanism and produces so much porn dopamine that it prevents the brain from recognising other healthy sources of dopamine. This results in life imbalance and a long term chemical imbalance in the brain leading to porn addiction or rewiring of the brain to get more porn dopamine. During reboot, my brain will try and work out ways to get back to porn despite me trying to stop it, because it has linked porn to survival through dopamine. I therefore must pay constant attention to the ways my mind will try and draw me back to porn and prevent this from happening. I must reinforce through meditation to my brain that it does not need porn.
3. Porn and PMO will not help you. It will only make you feel bad. If you already feel bad, it will only make you feel worse!
4. There is no one more time. This will lead to years of one more times. It has to stop now this instant, there is no one more time.
5. You will never beat porn if you don't do the difficult! Deny it!
6. Pay attention to feelings, don't sexualise people, watch or read things that are arousing during reboot.
7. Your mind will trick you to get back to PMO/HS, always be on guard and be ready to challenge your way of thinking and emotional state.
8. Be aware of your thoughts, emotions and actions. Link the mental, emotional and physical aspects of reboot and keep balanced.
9. Withdrawal symptoms are not pain, they are gain; every withdrawal symptom is you changing the incorrect wiring in your brain. Your brains neuroplasticity allows it to rewire and after sufficient time the attraction to porn/hook up sites will end.
10. To my subconscious mind, please listen to me. I understand that you think watching porn and receiving porn dopamine is necessary for my survival because dopamine is the reward I receive for eating, drinking, procreating and staying alive. But porn is not keeping me alive, on the contrary it is slowing killing me by taking my valuable time and preventing me from succeeding. Pornography has become a great regret in my life and I don't want it to continue. Thank you for looking after me so well, thank you for getting me to this point in my life, but from now on I need you to stop pornography coming into my life. I know together, we will succeed. Thank you.

Let me tell you something you already know, life isn't all sunshine and rainbows. It will beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it. Not me, you, or nobody is ever going to hit as hard as life can. But it ain't how hard you can hit, its how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now if you know what your worth then go out and get it. But you can't be saying I didn't get this because of that, him, her or nobody. That's what cowards do and that ain't you.

Let me tell you something you already know, PMO isn't all sunshine and rainbows. You will beat your self to your knees and stay there if you keep going. Not me, you, or nobody is ever going to hit as hard as PMO can. But it ain't how many relapses you have, its how much learning you can do and distance you can put between relapses, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now if you know what your worth then go out and get it. But you can't be saying I didn't get this because of PMO, him, her, or nothing. That's what cowards do and that ain't you.
Time I've Lost/Wasted on Porn.
3 Hours x 4 Days a week = 12 hours per week. 12 hours per week * 4 weeks = 48 hours month.
3 months * 48 hours per month = 144 hours or 6 days. 12 months * 48 hours per month = 576 hours or 24 days.
You have spent almost a month a year (24 days) PMOing! Over the last two decades, you've spent an entire year PMOing; that's sad!
You can't get the time back you've lost/wasted on PMO, but you can take your life back!
