How to stop masturbating
It made me
 "It was the most difficult journey, but most rewarding achievement of my life."
How I did it: I prayed every night before I went to sleep, and every morning when I woke up. I just began to refuse myself any opportunity to fail. No matter how tempted I was, I refused myself the comfort. Lessons & tips: Find a way to block certain sites on your computer, don't give up if you fail constantly, pray for strength and the constant renewing of your mind, find things to do to avoid being bored and tempted.

How I did it: I made a promise to God, and I drew comfort from the support of others who struggled with the problem. I spend my days being very, very busy---between working, school and preaching, I hardly have time for anything else. Remaining busy, praying to God and staying away from porn all helped me to finally conquer this addiction. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Porn addiction and Masturbation go hand in hand. I struggled even since a teenager with this addiction. Once I would drop the porn, I would stop masturbating. Bring back the porn, and the masturbation occurs again.Finally, I had enough and decided to stop tricking myself into believing I was having sex. After a while, you develop new habits and you don't feel like wasting the energy to GET NOWHERE with your sex life. Read how I did it…

This is the end of a seven year long on/off addiction. It will resume if I ever sto… Read how I did it…

Realization
7 hours ago
I just realized something that I’ve always kind of known. My goal of living a holy life for God doesn’t just mean living a life without sin, but living a life that seeks to please God by obeying the Bible.
Thus a holy life isn’t just a life without sin but the life of a worshipper who is always spiritually awake and being used for the work of God.
Meaning that my end goal shouldn’t be to stop masturbating, but to always worship God instead… “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)

Day 1
11 hours ago
I failed on day 5 so I’m starting again.
I’m happy though, because in a few days I will be going away for week to visit my familly abroad. If I manage not to masturbate until that moment then that means that by the time I return I should have a 13 day streak.
Day 3 ending
12 hours ago
I’m close to finishing day 3. i definitely feel the urge to jack off. there were a couple of girls walking outside that triggered me. Then, i also work with all women. but, the urge has been contained. it’s challenging to fight something that seems natural.
day 6
1 day ago
today is day 6 and im feeling so good about myself. it feels like it was just yesterday that i decided to stop. Every time i think about doing it i now nod my head because i know ill have failed. i havent gone this long since 3 months ago. Idk life feels good right now because i know im accomplishing something. I even look more awake then ever and i haven’t been tired. Im still lifting weights to get rid of those urges and now i can also just sit and watch tv without a single thought of porn. these entries have helped me out so much.
Day 8 an feeling Great !!
1 day ago
Hit day 8. I can’t believe it. No urges no temptations. This one feels completely different. 8 days is not that long…but you can’t make it a life time without getting through the first 8 days.
I have been trying to quit porn/ masturbating for over 10 years. I could get a few months under my belt, but could never envision a life without porn. I always tried to trick myself into thinking I could do it once every few months, then once a week, then once a day. Next thing you know I am completely hooked again. I now can picture my life without ever using porn again. Not only can I picture it I want it and look forward to it.
My moods have been so good lately. Relationship with my wife and kids is fantastic. No more nervous feelings when my wife goes near my computer or my office.
I am trying to maintain a good healthy excersise regime to replace porn. Also I am really paying attention to trigger points. When I see something mildly erotic during the day, I do not let myself start fantasizing and get worked up. I turn away and concentrate on something else. I have changed my TV habits as well. Any erotic/sexual scenes I change the channel.
So far so good…hoping to turn 8 days into 8 weeks into 8 years…one day at a time.
Day 1
1 day ago
I don’t believe in God, but I do want to stop. Day one is almost over. I saw some woman walking today that were quite tempting and made me want to go home and beat off, but instead I’m writing this. yippie.
