    Day 7

    I was ok for the most of the day but I was definitely more distracted. I kept interrupting work and opening my usual news sites. A clear danger sign.

    I am still focused on making the right choices and porn is definitely not a right choice.

    The next few days will be hard and I will need to stand up for myself. I can only defeat porn if I believe in myself, believe in my reasons for quitting porn and stick to my guns.

    Let’s beat this evil together.

    Stay strong!

    Checking in brave Warriors :)

    So today, no coffee, none of it!! and it was way better than i thought. I felt sleepy, yes, but not lethargic or heavely foggy. i only drank coffee at breakfast so i think the withdrawal will be light, if any. and Wim Hof perfectly replaces coffee in the morning, it gives a natural boost and clarity of mind :)

    One thing i notice is right in the start of the day, i felt myself, i didn´t feel like it was wired or had any kind of inner fuel. i was totally myself, totally natural and in control. It´s great :)

    Lot´s of events today among the Fellowship, and gladly the counters are back :)

    I think I'm supposed to be flatlining but the opposite is true.. way too full of energy - guess it is the dopamine and testosterone coming back in week 3.

    Got through some serious urges today, due in no small part to this forum and the site's Panic Button, and now I feel good again - out the other side of that dark cloud - for now
    Up early, which made a huge difference to the day
    No vanity today though and kept social interaction low
    Bit of a lull in work but not for long
    Did reflect but did not do mindful breathing which I will do now
    better post tomorrow

    Rest well fellow warriors, for tomorrow will be a new adventure full of choices, challenges and victories

    Day 1 - I had this realization as I stood under the cold water in the shower this afternoon (I have been taking cold showers every time I take a shower and it feels great). I realized what it was about YouTube that is so triggering (and why I tend to relapse when I take my phone into the bathroom with me). It is not just the access, which of course does not, it is the fact that as I click on each new video, even ones not remotely triggering, I get a small dopamine hit, and that leads to me craving more. Now there are two ways to get more. Keep clicking on more videos, or go for the big hit and PMO or just MO. Usually when I am on my phone I PMO, at least with P-subs, and that lets loose a flood of dopamine. So one step I am taking to reduce my triggers while on YouTube is to unsubscribe from this one YouTuber who sometimes have P-subs as his thumbnails, but even when he does not, often times discusses politics that make my blood boil. And while I agree with his takes, they do raise my blood pressure, and PMO or MO is a great way to come down from that. So if I cut him out of my viewing habits as well as not watching YouTube in the bathroom (which I admit I did before my shower), I will be less likely to touch myself when I do use YouTube, which I do mindlessly on the toilet, for some reason, and I will disconnect from affiliating dopamine with masturbation and porn. I will also reduce my YouTube use to no more than an hour a day, with that hour split up into 15-20 chunks. I will allow myself to watch a longer video once a week, and I will not watch YouTube every day, perhaps only doing it 3 days a week.

    I think I can stick with that for now without completely cutting it out of my life.

    Best,
    Mathman1994

    Relapsed. The signs were there, and I ignored them. Fishing, p-subs, then pmo. Sorry, fellowship.
