Just completed 7 days! Well, sort of..

My goal with this was to quit porn completely. My addiction got to the point where I didn’t fap at all or even get hard when watching porn. I was in the routine of scrolling through porn subreddits for hours, watching porn (live cams) every day for hours whether I was actively watching it or was just listening to it in the background whilst working. I ended up with PIED and no sex drive.

The first day was really tough to break my usual routine but I got through it. I’ve found that whenever I get the urge, playing a video game or picking up the guitar for a few hours completely takes my mind off of it.

As I say, my goal was to quit porn and I don’t necessarily want to stop fapping as I don’t think I have a problem with it but enjoy it occasionally. I fapped on day 5 without porn (or any visual stimulation), which I think is still a big win.

Have I failed? Am I still benefiting from this if I masturbate occasionally?
