>20 year old NEET
>Made this thread because my mother picked up my jizz soaked underwear off the floor while I was lying in bed

How do I stop beating my meat? Discovered the physical process around age 4-5, and porn a bit later. Became a total coomer, staying up all night watching porn on schoolnights, even jerking off in the toilets half way through an exam. Young, innocent, love (even friendship for that matter) was discarded in favour of a cheap high. Shame and compulshion governs my life. I want to change and help myself crawl out of this well of misery in which I reside.

>How
You already know the answer, just don't do it
>but what if i get the urge
Go outside, in the living room or wherever and do something else, at night put your phone in a box or in a hard to get to place, and since your mom already knows maybe even just give her your phone every night until you're ready to handle controlling yourself instead of being mind controlled to jerk off like a zombie
GOOD LUCK

First, understand you won't clear it in one night, or even the same week.
You've already done a lot by recognizing your problem, that's further than most men will ever get.
try your best to abstain from it for as long as you can, even if you break a streak, acknowledge that you went however many days without doing it.
Keep a tally of how many days you've gone without beating your meat and record your longest streak.
Even if you break your streak, you can look at your "high score" and say to yourself: "I'm getting better; i can go higher"
I believe in you, anon

Too lazy to elaborate too much because I've typed this exact same thing in so many addiction related threads.
But there are two ways to beat an addiction:
>quit completely for about 1-2 years, at least that's the figure I've heard for completely getting over substance abuse. After that you might even be able to go back to moderate consumption but chances are you won't want to
>slowly dial down consumption until you're at a moderate level and maintain that
DO NOT try the second option. It's infinitely harder, even if your brain will try to trick you into trying that one, because it's easier to relapse from that.
Quitting completely is obviously very hard, but you just need to give it your best. As >>34074041 said it's not something that will solve itself overnight. You're fighting against a decade old habit here, a week or two ain't shit compared to that.
The most important part is to be kind to yourself about it. Acknowledge that this is a huge challenge for you, don't beat yourself down if you struggle or relapse.
On the topic of relapse: you almost certainly will. And that moment will be the most crucial. Don't treat it as failure, but just as an unfortunate setback to learn from. No matter how hard you relapse, even if it's for a whole week, the important part is that you pick yourself back up and keep going. You're in this for the long run.

Also don't let the big 1-2 year number scare you. It will get a lot easier way sooner than that. Unfortunately I haven't managed to quit completely yet (so I guess take everything I say with a grain of salt) but after about 1-2 weeks it's already significantly easier as resisting the urges becomes a habit and requires less active effort. Maybe a bit longer in your case, but still.

And then of course there is all the other jazz like making the thing you're addicted to harder to access (not as easy with jacking off I know, but I'm sure you can think of something. Definitely delete any accounts or locally saved shit you have for example), finding new positive habits to replace the old ones, finding out what your triggers are and avoiding them (in my case I have certain video games that make me really horny so I just don't play them anymore) etc etc

Also one thing that helps that's a bit of an internalized mindset thing and hard to explain though, is to stop for just a second and think it through, when I get the urge. Like when I feel like jacking off, I picture that I will go, sit down, watch some porn, feel good for a few minutes and at best go back to whatever I was doing and at worst be miserable. And somehow that helps to put the transience of that pleasure into perspective.
