Hello community,

My name is Herren, i've been dealing with issues of viewing pornography, lust for a number of years. I am looking to break this habit, and convert it to something more productive, healthy and positive. Looking for your help.

Please read up the menu and choose what you WILL have not what you won't.

In other words as Cordnoy says 'What's your game plan for today?"

I like to tell myself "think about ____" as opposed to "don't think about women etc". If you tell yourself not to think about elephants what's the first thing on your mind...?

I still feel in a world bombarded with images it is in some way able to trigger _______ subconscious areas of the brain. Sort of like when I think of the statue of Liberty, I think of freedom in brazil.

Just distract yourself by getting involved in something else. Don't play tricks with your mind. Avoid images as much as possible and keep busy. Keep it up!
