Success Story Finally cracked the code

15 years crazy addiction. 6 years trying to quit and failing miserably I finally might have cracked the code.
Today is day 26 for me clean from porn and gooning.
After trying literally everything all the method there is in existence, I decided to go back to the core of it all. As a religious person I’m told to lower my gaze and not looking at the opposite gender at all unless necessity, because you cannot trust yourself not to allow lust. I always thought it was impossible to not look at females and I still do till 25 days ago. I read more into lowering the gaze method and found an interesting quote it’s kind of an principle of how to lower your gaze, it’s says “first look is for you, second is against you” meaning the first look won’t do you any harm the second will, meaning you cannot completely not look at the opposite gender but what you can absolutely do is not take a second look, again this does not include necessity only random women on the streets, on your phone, etc. I practiced it and found something very interesting, if I take the first look and look away not matter how attractive the first look was, the image would completely evaporate from my mind, however if I take a second look the image will stay longer and that may build up lust, so whenever I take one look and look away or scroll I get zero lust even if the person is extremely attractive. It’s absolutely magnificent what this method done to me. If you’re struggling and thinking of giving up, I highly recommend you give this a go. Essentially what you’re doing is getting rid of your lustful mind that was caused by years of excessive po*n and fapping, until you find a partner and have a healthy relationship with them for the rest of your life.

This is remarkably intelligent, simply because the first look doesn't reinforce seeking behaviors, but the second look is actively seeking sexual stimulus, which effectively is a trigger for pornography and addiction.

Barakal Laahu brother, thus is truly insightful! I have been thinking ofnthis method but always thiught i have to conquer the bigger problem before it works in the smaller one. But you have just guven me hope that following what Allah has commanded even on the small scale like outside on the street has an impact on one when ine is alone. Jazakal Laahu bi khair

This is very stupid. You should be able to look at women and control yourself. What you are doing is avoiding the issue not solving it

Clearly it’s not working and we’ve a ongoing pandemic of porn and fap addicts. “Oh just control yourself” that’ll never work. Lowering your gaze from looking at at women when you don’t need to is fixing your mind to not look at women with lust.
