    Hello, how are you doing guys and girls?

    So, I decided to (again) take nofap more seriously. I've been trying to quit porn for 2 years now. I got really good streaks of 30 days, only MO without P, for several months. But in the past 3 months things got worst and i cant control the urge to watch porn. I've been edging to P almost everyday. I literally lost my last saturday watching P and i lost most part of my day when i'm home alone or my fiancee is sleeping. Yes, the worst is that i'm engaged and live with my fiancee and yet i find some way to watching P and consequently MO

    I tried to block website, block internet acess for a few times, but i find a way to break or find a loophole in the system that i installed, i tried many techniques, i didn't tried for serious being part of a community, so that is a change that i will try to implement this time (i had a user in nofap, wasn't so

    In this my new journey, my goals is go back to be productive, stop waisting time, get more focused. I will avoid P at all cost (because i want to live a life free of this), while i try to reach 30 days without MO. I will also try to implement some minor change like writing a journal regularly, spend less time on internet, adopt the concept of monotasking and some other things

    So i think this is it. See you people

    Hello and welcome to the site

    I tried porn blockers as well, k9 toolbar. but its way too easy to bypass them, so I ended up on porn sites anyway.

    Now I don't use any pornblockers and it works better. Its been almost 2 weeks since I was on a porn site, never before did I not look at porn for that long, not since I was 15 or 16.
    I think it is becasuse now I don't have to rely on some programm or porn blocker to safe me, but just on myself. If I end up on a porn site its not because a porn blocker wasn't good enough and there is nothing to blame but my own weakness. I don't want to blame myself either, so I don't look at porn. Porn blockers make me lower my defenses because I'd feel a false sense of security and control. My own mind and will are the only things that stand between me and porn. and so far it works great. I do get urges. Strong urges, but I can resist them.

    good luck buddy

    Thanks next1, i think you are right. Blocker only low my awareness and sometimes made me try to break it. I think what i need is block in my mind, that is the true and effective way to avoid it
