I have been addicted since I was 8 years old. I am 22 now. I have jerked off every days since then. I want to get stronger, better, wiser. But it has been so long that idk how I'm going to be able to go cold turkey. What are some things you have done to stay on track?

Run from sin ! Don’t try to fight it! Run!! Remove everything that binds you. Jesus says it is better to enter into heaven with one eye or one hand than two eyes and both hands and get thrown in hell.

Me and you have a very similar story bro. You’ve got this! Remember why you want to stop.

personally I would say similar to Jalen give yourself activities that acquire your attention so that you don’t boredom jerk and maybe spend a few nights at a buddies house I usually feel like shit if I jerk off at someone else’s house so that may help

Literally in the same exact position. Started at 7, 22 now. Only that that's helped is surrounding to Jesus Christ and giving it to him. I can do all the little tips and tricks, but it's never been enough to fully quit, just helps stalling the urges. Don't know if you're religious, but its the only thing that's help me bro. Wish you the best

When you feel the moments of wanting to watch explicit things or partake in masturbation don’t ignore those thoughts and feelings accept them but acknowledge that those thoughts and feelings aren’t who you want to be, they are not the better person who you are trying to be! Remember why you wanted to quit and remember the feeling of will power will be better than the feelings you’ll get from jerking off.

I am 22 too brother. I fail often, but I am determined to quit all together. The biggest thing for me when I have gone weeks without it has been exercise, and the pursuit of knowledge…reading mostly non fiction. Eating healthy, and getting into a routine of self care. The hardest part for me has always been the first ten days once I get passed that I am usually able to go for a few weeks maybe even a few months. The longer you go the harder it is to go back to porn because you have something to lose. Try your best to get through those 10 days and get into healthy routines like skincare, gym, exercise, hanging with friends making real connections with real humans !
