So I'm in day 2 without any porn or masturbation, but I haven't had any real urges yet. But still, I'm so addicted that i've noticed that my go-to position for my hands is in my pants. Like it's not even sexual. it seems ive went there so many times that now it's just my hands "automatic" relaxing position. This shows me even more that I have a problem that needs to be fixed so I need to make it to 90 days

Welcome.
Any plans?
Have you read the Handbook

yes I read it. thanks. My plan is to make it to 90 days no matter what. I'm gonna be constantly updating my progress on this site. I uninstalled Instagram and I found a hobby. Plus, I wrote down a bunch of rules so if I break any, I reset my counter. It's harsh but effective because I can't tell myself that i will only view images or only touch myself a little because if I do any of that, I have already failed.

Welcome.

90 days is a great target but do not think that just because you make it to 90 days everything is foxed for life.

It is a day by day attitude, for the rest of your life.

Perhaps Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can help find a new position for your hands?
