Well hey, sounds like you're already on a good track. If I may, I found a channel that provides a lot of great information and ideas that may assist you in your quest. YouTube There's a lot to absorb in there, so take your time and try not to get overwhelmed.

And yeah, we all learn the hard way it seems, trying to "ween" ourselves off of pornographic material just doesn't work. I tried for years, and it only got worse. Sexual addiction is unlike any other addiction out there because of how it hijacks your neural pathways. Consistently, the best results I've heard of were achieved by quitting porn cold turkey and trying to stick to that. And don't fool yourself, porn and webcam girls are pretty much the same thing, just different in delivery and level of interaction. Also, don't beat yourself up if you relapse. In all my research and looking around, I haven't found any porn addicts who didn't at some point or another have a relapse. There are varying levels of recovery, though, and the more you prepare yourself with a contingency plan to help you recover from a relapse, the better you'll do.

A huge factor in the successes I've had thus far has been my practice of mindful awareness. It's taken me a while to wrap my head around it, and I don't think I've quite got it still, but I think I've come to a decent understanding of it. Skeezy actually shared a really good article about it with you earlier in this thread, I highly recommend reading it and applying what it says. Because man, it sure proved true for me. In the past when I tried to quit, when I got cravings and I tried to resist them, shut them out, it only made it worse because I focused on them. Instead, let them exist in you, breath with them, and remember that they will pass like all things do in time. Don't worry over it, don't shame yourself for having these thoughts and desires, and just breath. It will pass. Distractions can help so long as you don't try to bash yourself or try to suppress you cravings with them. They should only be something for you to help pass the time while you wait for the craving to pass.

Week one might seem alright. but I'm gonna worn you: week two and three are harsh. If you can get past week three without succumbing, it usually gets easier. BUT. Be warned, any kind of sexual material puts you at risk of triggering a relapse. Try to avoid such things to give yourself the best chance of success. Good luck!
