I'm creating this thread as accountability to myself: no pornography, no masturbation.
Rules: It's relapse if I seek out pornography, or masturbate.
I've had a problem with pornography since I was 15, for the last six years.
It is a way for me to escape reality whenever things don't go my way. It got really bad about two years ago; I realized that life passed me by while I was spending hours every day thinking about and watching pornography.
Since then I've made a half-assed effort at stopping, and it didn't stick. In recent weeks, it has become critical for me to stop, because I miss valuable hours of work while I do it. Furthermore, my urges come at my lowest moments, when I feel hesitant or afraid about the work and nothing is going right - I escape.
I will stop, and replace this habit with meditation.
I'll update this thread periodically with my wins and losses.
