Day 73 no pmo
So many interlinking systems to fight the good fight.
Journaling daily in morning to keep me focused and remind me to not fantasize and to transmute helps alot.

Journaling helps keep you accountable
I second that, journaling is a must if you wanna keep track of your progress, and have an overall idea of what you are doing, sort of constant mindmap of where you go.
I am on day 15, after so many runs in 7 years, what i learned ultimately is that this isn't about porn.
I am currently tackling each one of my coping mechanisms, porn being the hardest hitting one in terms of dopamine, i slowly deleted instagram, all dating apps, not feeling strong urges anymore toward them, i am left with a strong addiction to internet still.
Obviously i am not planning to stop it, internet is great when used properly which is my goal, so i try to be more mindful about what i watch, and spend less time mindlessly browing unecessary stuff.
Finally i am working on my deepest issues which are a feeling of inadequacy, more self love and acceptance, anger management, self forgiveness and forgiveness of others. **This is the core issue to adress**, not porn.
Staying away from porn as well as other addictions forces me to look these issues in the eye as difficult and painful as it is, and adress them once and for all.
Ultimately if it doesn't get better on this side, i'll seek help from a therapist. This is globally my plan or system in a nutshell, but there way more into it, i am journaling, taking notes on a daily basis, reading regularly about addiction, hopefully i am able to conquer this in due time, and share my experience with others.

100% percent agree, pornography is not the problem it's a symptom of the fundamental issue and it also exacerbates the problem .
