relapsed at day 6...
I've identified my problem, it's working from home ....
I just get bored sometimes during work and then my mind wanders and somehow I end up at porn.
I think I need to find a solution to porn while working from home, because i can't go to the office everyday.
Anyone any tips? How do you guys deal with it

Do you have a way to mix things up? Like get a standing desk, or move it to a different room, or a different side of the same room?
Do you have an escape plan? How are you going to get away from your devices when you feel an urge coming on?
What are you doing exercise wise? Having a different outlet for your boredom will not only distract you from the urge to PMO, but also get you into a better mental state.
Have you written out concrete goals? And your milestones and steps to achieve them?

Had a relapse at day 12.
Currently at day 5 again.
had sex with my wife at day 3, could barely get it up.
it does seem like withdrawal urges peak for me at day 4-5. Everytime at this day i get this uncontrollable urges.
They do subside after a few minutes, but it’s just incredibly hard to plough through them everytime.
Thanks for the concrete tips Chuckles!
I’ll think about them later today after work, i do need a game plan for when things get more intense.

Withdrawls for me usualky peak around day 10-15. What worked for me to get thru some of those extreme urges to watch P was keeping myself busy with tasks all the time. Also, If its too easy to jump onto a P site then set up some kind of firewall to block your fave sites. That has also kept me from relapsing at times because It was’nt easy for me to get to my fav sites and required work and Id usually talk myself out of it. Keep strong, youve got this.
Good one!
i’ve since today set content restrictions to no adult sites on my iphone.
that blocks most of the sites and is an extra mental hurdle for me to keep me from browsing to porn.
i’m trying to keep myself busy for now by browsing on YBOP and reading some success stories here. That does give an extra nudge to keel going.

Don’t give in to that stuff, you can do it! Every time you say no, it gets easier.

You can do this, bro! I've observed that it's quite common after the first streak to really struggle to get back into things again. Kudos for trying over and over.
Blocking stuff is great to help remind yourself of your boundaries, but don't for one second think you can rely on them! It will ALWAYS come down to your choice. You can do things to make the right choice in the moment easier or harder, but you can't outsource it. This is just a tough thing to do, and you gotta work hard.
