For 7 years ive been hooked to this horrible deed, for years ive been telling myself "one last time", only recently have I truly realised the complications this will have on my future relationships and now more than ever I'm encouraged to quit, but I'm struggling to get through this initial stage. The habit is compulsive, I don't get horny or anything it just happens, even though I want to quit Im struggling to overcome the compulsiveness of the behaviour, any advice?

One last time is always a lie and you're only making it much more difficult by blaming yourself every time.
You waste your energy on guilt instead of rejuvenation.
You need to let go of guilt and practice self-awareness. Read a few books on the topic to get the gist of it.

Just because youve failed for 7 years doesnt mean your next attempt should be discouraged
Ive failed for a similar amount of time, i estimate I failed around (6 x 365 x 0.5) 1095 times.
My "iron will" app has a scroll bar that is suffocating lol, and it only contains about 1/3 of my attempts
With that much failure, the discouragement is very much looming, but you dont have to let it be.
I try to meet
"Dam Im just gonna fail again like I did before"
With
"Can the past me travel through time in the future and tell me I wont make it? No"
The past is completely gone from this world, it has no power over me and I am a new person. Thinking in this way has allowed me to get some great encouragement to have some incredible attempts again.
We got this, no matter how many years pass I will never give up
Also having some peers you vibe with in this community does give strength and accountability
If youre down for it, I hope we can encourage each other this time around

As stated above, guilt is definitely counterproductive! We have to realize that this is an addiction, probably the strongest addiction there is because it is available everywhere. I very strongly recommend that you read “your brain on porn“. This book more than any other I’ve read is essential for understanding our addiction. You have to realize that this challenge will be with you always and simply keep going and never become discouraged or give up ??
