35 and Older Accountability Group

Thanks buddy, We all brothers together fighting the same cause, if I can do it you can do it too.

It's not easy. It's just about finding what works for you.

I am still worried that one day I will relapse but just trying to avoid thinking about it.

I feel so much more productive now, I just want to get sh** done, riding my bicycle to work and putting a podcast on and walking 10k-15k step a day, just started some health courses too and they're cheap check out Umzu.com the owner his name is Christopher Walker teaches you about health etc and has his own podcast as well it's top stuff.

Sometimes I am sitting there and I do think about porn but.once I feel that dopamine release I quickly switch off the thoughts and think about something else.

See if it works for you bro.

Keep strong dude.

 

It's a new month. If you've been in a rut, let's make this month work!

 

Yes , you are right that's why i suggested to direct message me istead of posting here.
And from what i know for the situation there , i agree with your small comment about media.
Divide and conquer!

 

So close to 30, but messed up at day 27.

I'm really disappointed in myself, but I'll never give up this battle. I would rather live the ups and downs then live a life of PMO.

I'm coming back strong to face a new streak. Better than I have ever done in the past.

 

Exactly. Suffer the pain of discipline or the pain of inaction.

(The original quote used 'regret'- I like inaction better).

 

Checking in. All being well, I will pass 30 days this week. It hasn't been plain sailing, but being able to lean on you guys and this forum has made it far more manageable.

There have been several (at least three) occasions over the last few weeks when I would absolutely have given in. That little voice starts up with "where's the harm," and "just one." And it picks the moments when I'm weakest and most likely to agree with it. Before finding this place, I would have.

Each time that I've been close to going back to P, I have come here instead and read through some posts. It's inspiring. It reminds me of why I'm making the effort at all. Most important of all, it makes me feel like I'm not doing this on my own.

For the first time in a very long time, probably ever, it feels like there's a sustainable way out.

 

Went to work yesterday and god was it good to get out. That's my first clean day after PM on Sunday, June is a good month to start again. Working from home today - gotta keep focussed.

 

I can relate to this. It can be a real challenge not to give into temptation. I've found that enforcing some structure/organisation is important - even just making a list of things to do.

 

I've been there. If you mess up once and get back on track you are in great shape. Just don't let it turn into a week.

 

Checking in. It’s definitely been a rough week or so for me. I think with everything going on, it causing me to stress. When I stress, I seek P. I’m trying to stay aware of my thoughts and feelings to ensure that I don’t go down the rabbit hole. It’s been TOUGH but I’m hanging in there. I have to keep managing my time wisely.

 

same for me. I talk a big game but I seem to turn to p to run away from the difficulties of life if I don’t have anything to do.

I’m trying to break the cycle where I have to give up hope to get started on a good streak but it’s easy to see how that goes started.

Reset again and just looking to get the 1st 1/2 day in tonight.

 

I have read the rules and would like to join this group.

I'm now on Day 12.

 

Damn that sucks man. Things like that scare me. Hang in there!

 

Checking in! 65 in 2 days I'll match my last record !!

 

If your previous record was 65 days , you did it!!

 

I sould've put a comma there like "65 , in 2 days..." lol so tomorrow I'll do it. One day at a time !

 

I was a little confused with your post but nevermind, the most importand part is that you are almost there!

 

Checking in.

 

Getting started on this new streak. It seems fragile day at a time kind of stuff. It feels like starting all over again from scratch.
