Jerking off
Can I still jerk off just not with porn
I would say yes just as long as your beating to your imagination and not anything on social media or porn bc it gets you used to beating without Porn. I would focus on porn addiction and then masturbation addiction
I’m tired of the brain fog!
Some days will be harder than others. Use the panic button in the app when you find yourself slipping and do the breath works. Start a conversation on here. There is no easy way
I actually think it’s okay, just make sure it’s no a masturbation addiction, do it without any porn or thought of porn and focus on how you feel empowered not needing porn, it’s a natural thing to masturbate, but not to view pornography, some people mention abstaining for those dopamine levels but studies show there’s really no improvement past a few weeks, I say try and space it out, maybe once every two weeks

It depends man - comes in waves. Best to keep yourself busy with other things
You are working on resetting your dopamine receptors.
What day will I feel more clearer and not struggle as much
It’s still giving into urges and lacking self control. And the act of it is in opposition to overcoming lust and actual connection with other humans such as a wife or husband.
I would say no - the point is to abstain from quick pleasure that releases dopamine.
Masturbation will very likely cause you to go back to porn. Happens to me every time
