Day 1: It is good to start fresh. Let me take this to 2024 with a clean canvas. 2024 should be my lucky year. The year I conquer this hijacker. This is an urge to view some social media. This is a trick by the hijacker. I am resisting this. Don't want to go down the slippery slope.

Day 8: Could not hold myself from YouTube. Now it is mainly news and debates. I can feel my mind getting more frustrated by end of day. Instead of news, I am trying to watch porn de addictions videos. This reminds me of the danger of slippery slop that I can get into.

@SajithKR - good going man. The urges are horrific, I know. Your brain wants you to relapse so it will do everything in its power. Don’t let it win. Porn utterly wrecks lives. It is cancerous. Be strong. Got your back, brother.

Day 11: Back to spending lots of time on mobile. Need some distractions all the time. It is so difficult to do nothing. There is fear of missing out or fear of negative thoughts hurting me. Mobile distractions and work keeps me engaged all the time. Am I missing life? No wonder I find some reason to return to PMO.

Day 13: Still staying away from Porn. YouTube is still an addition. Aimless watching with no specific aim is an issue. Am I doing it to just to stop doing nothing or is it the trick of my hijacker to take me to a situation to slip? What ever may be the reason, I have to overcome this habit to escape from porn.

Stay strong, SajithKR. As you have already noticed, the internet is addictive in general. We browse, we scroll, we loiter. What are we looking for? If you don't have a good answer to that question, walk away.

An important part of beating a porn addiction is also spending less time on the internet. Easier said than done, but it has to happen. Do whatever you can to disrupt your usual time spent online. Go for a walk, go to the gym, spend time with friends, arrange your shirts in alphabetical order, count all the leaves on a plant. 🙃 Challenge yourself to not look at your phone for an hour. Then try for two. Shut off your computer for a day. Or a weekend. Whatever it takes.

You have a lot to gain and little to lose.

Very good advice. I need to keep reminding this to myself.
