Hey guys, so I’ve been stuck in this porn trap basically since I was 12, yeah they got me at such young age, really evil industry. It’s been so long that I didn’t even realize how much it was draining my drive and affecting my mood. It just felt... normal.   

**Why I started on December 31st**

I was at a cottage with my friends for New Year’s Eve, so I decided to start one day early. Just clarification for those wondering lol

**The Journey**

The first month was definitely the hardest. I knew my willpower alone wouldn't cut it back, so I set a full strict mode and blocked all corn sites and it was the thing I was missing when trying to quit just by willpower…. As time goes the urges start to dissapear, but I would recommend having the setup fulltime probably, just to have yourself in control….

My setup:

* **Phone**: Used a porn blocker with Strict Mode (no option to delete or bypass). The normal web blocker or apple adult content block didn’t work for me as I just removed it in bad urge, not proud of that
* **PC**: Set up a DNS provider to CleanBrowsing (family filter) which removes all porn sites

**The actual progress I’m seeing:**  

**Mental Strength**: I feel way more grounded and present. Small setbacks don't mess with my head like they used to.   

**Social Life**: Before, I had zero interest in dating or meeting new people. Lately, I’ve actually started going out again and I’m genuinely enjoying the connection.

**Positivity**: My overall vibe is just... better. It’s hard to explain, but when you stop living in that fog, everything feels a bit more alive.

If you’ve been stuck in this since you were a kid like I was, trust me, it’s worth the grind. That first month is a battle, but the mental clarity on the other side is a whole different world. 2026 will be our year!

If anyone also started this challenge in 2026 let me know in the comments💪. Thanks
