This time for sure In all seriousness, though, I registered two years ago, introduced myself... and that was it. Relapsed after a month and got discouraged to try again. Recently my dearest friend (platonic, of course ) ended relationship with me. It got me thinking (finally! ) that my way of handling things - staying on the side, pushing back people, living fantasies in my solitude, keeping false self-judgments - not only is unhealthy for me, but for my close ones too. After that, I've managed to abstain from porn for three months. Then came a relapse and I am currently PMO'ing (am I using this term correctly? twice a week. The need to watch porn has significantly lessened, but at the same time I am still not feeling confident enough to, for example, start dating - disarming my MANY self-judgments is a very slow process, maybe here I will get some boosting Hoping for... maybe not "the best" (perfectionist trap!) but "better"
