I Its great to know we can come here and be honest. That is growth. Honesty with yourself and with people is a step in growth. I know how you feel. Considering what you said previously, i think a question to ask ourdelves is why are we truly letting go of porn. Is it to just fix problems, better our lives, change ourselves, etc. If possible, lets think about it and and in our next check-in, lets give an answer.
Day 14. My brain really wanted to release rushes of dopamine today. Urges were extreme but didnt give in. Moving on...
It's not a test. It's a goal, and a step towards rewiring our brains. Keep fighting the good fight. We're here to support you.
Day 5. I’m having an urge, it’s not to serious just a mild one, I think it’s because I just got my taxes over with and I’m nervously waiting for the results lol. Usually any time I feel nervous or have tension I feel the urge to pmo to release some of the tension, or at least that’s what I tell myself it’s going to do as an excuse to do it... it always makes things worse in the end, it makes me more anxious, and more depressed... but regardless of how I feel right now, it’s not worth the regrets. Moving forward
Day11/21. Why am i doing this? I saw this in a success story and copied it. Here it is: I’m not doing this for how I feel. If I were, I’d never have stopped PMOing because it felt good. I’m doing this, instead, to remove a toxic addiction from my life before it’s too late, and to fix the damage already done by it.
Thank you for sharing this inspiring method. Everyone should implement their lifestyle to this way of thinking. It's easier this way.
Hey guys. Day 5. Relapsed on Saturday. Sorry for letting you down. Got lonely and bored and slipped. Made a plan to counter it next time.
My head has been a bit of a mess the last few days. I also think that I am a bit depressed about my current situation. Which I really shouldn't be! Anyway, this is day 1. Half way through. Feeling good about it again.
As long as you're trying, it's ok. I have completed 1 week challenge and 2 week challenge in one stroke. But this one is quite difficult. I relapsed for 3 times now. But I'm trying again just like you. That's the chemistry in our brain disrupted by porn. It will take some time to repair it. Cheer up. Keep fighting and let's support each other.
