Hey there, I am Keeton. I am 20 years old and have been struggling with masturbation for 13 of those years. I found porn when I was around 11 or 12 and I have not been able to be free from it since. Now is the time I start my moment-to-moment decisions to be stronger than this damaging habit.

Moment-To-Moment

I am getting ready to skip my nightly instinct of jerking off. It is typically a reflex to watch porn at night and sometimes in the morning. I am feeling motivated and confident that tonight will be victorious! Tomorrow will be tomorrow's battle but now is the moment to decide to win!

Made it through the night and still going strong!
Yesterday there were temptations but I was determined enough to ignore them! However, I know this determination won't be able to carry me forever. I have wanted to stop this addiction of jerking off and watching porn ever since it started. This time around of quitting is different because I am making many other positive changes in my life. I am getting back in the gym and I have become more conscious of what food I am consuming. I really do feel unstoppable and I am in such a better mental state than I was before this process began.
My previous moments have been victories, now on to this moment!

Hell yeah, dude -- keep up the good work. For me, the mornings are also the hardest, and it's admirable that you're able to power through them without succumbing to urges.
It's also great that you're realizing the harmful effects of porn at 20; since your brain is still developing, it has more neuroplasticity than that of someone in their later 20s. Because of this neuroplasticity, you have a better chance to rewire your brain with healthy neural pathways than older guys probably would. In any case, keep on trucking man.

The mornings can be very difficult! I typically would allow the urges to take control as if they were in charge of my body. I am sick and tired of feeling like I have no self-control. I am taking control back though and I will not lose.Hell yeah, dude -- keep up the good work.

Thank you for the support and encouragement!
I am sitting down to write an assignment for school while listening to music. The album cover is starting to make me want to find a nude model that looks similar to the model on the cover art. Thankfully I caught myself and came onto here instead. I have a feeling this night will be a tough one to overcome. But I will stay optimistic and motivated to maintain control of myself.
This moment is mine to win!

All assignments are complete and I am about to call it a night. I feel very confident that I will stay strong as I go to bed. I am already having urges to "just do it" but this is only my 3rd night in so I can't fold this soon, or at all for that matter. This moment is mine.

Welp... Last night was very challenging and I caved in twice last night. I also lost the fight this morning as well. But the biggest thing that is different about how I am fighting it now is I will always get back up and keep going. I proved to myself that I can go a few days without it and so now I can take that even further! Tonight will be a victory!
