It’s been hard getting past the first few days, it’s insane the amount of tricks your mind will play on you to get what it wants. The little excuses here and there, it’s tough. If anyone has any methods they use to really help fight this id love to hear it. Nothing I do is working and I’m stuck in a cycle
Hi Emyr, first few days are tough- no doubt, but God sees your struggle and He’ll help you if you ask Him! Sometimes, if I know my mind is going down a bad train of thought, or I’m following the pattern that leads to porn, I’ll literally- out loud speak “No, I’m not doing this anymore. I’m done with this sin, Jesus has bought me my freedom, I’m not a slave” and just verbally acknowledging that helps stop me in my tracks. Additionally, sometimes I need to literally put my phone in another room, leave my bedroom, go for a walk or take a shower, call a friend, Bible audio, workout, etc. “Idle hands are the devils workshop” as it says in Proverbs. Get busy, seek Jesus! You got this!💪🏻
get a little streak going and then think about how shitty you’ll feel if you break it and have to restart

Putting your phone in another room is a super underrated tactic. I no longer sleep with my phone in my bedroom - this ensures I neither pick it back up while in bed before I go to sleep or after I wake in the morning
