Hi so today is day 1, of no masturbation / sex / porn. Have absolutely no idea what to expect along the way apart from probs end up feeling horny but need to focus on other things to not give in. Thanks Dave
You will feel a lot of things, good and bad, but as long as you are determined to continue this journey you'll be fine. Best of luck brother
I'll be honest with you. This journey will not be easy and I won't pretend that you will succeed right away although I hope you do. Realistically you will expect good and bad days. So many triggers around us that will test our willpower. We have to stop entertaining our urges and think of positive things. We have to remind ourselves why we are stopping and try our best to remain calm. The urges will come and go away on their own ONLY if we allow that process to happen. Some days will feel very hard but that is what we did to our brains. One day when we are successful with this then our brain will return back to it's normal settings. That is the goal. All the best my friend
Hi i'm a 17 year old boy, relapsed on day 21 and now i'm on day two. I definitely felt less energy since, even though i didn't have any regrets.
So far so good. Maybe it will help if you read the book "Your brain on porn". This book is very good and teaches the addict about how the brain works when its addicted to porn. Very helpful and I recommend it for you. Educate yourself on what happens when you feel urges. One example is if you feel an urge you should not fight it. Just close your eyes and focus on your breathing. You will notice the urge go away on it's own. All the best
