Day 4 checking in.

 

you can do it , try put some restriction on your network , here's a simple trick add Open DNS to your home router.

 

i hope you're still on track bro, try doing deep breath exercise, go for a walk , or organize your room, just keep your mind off that sh*t

 

Nice streak going @Stelvio. Stacking one day at a time.

 

Checking in.

Same old story for me: had some work to do that kept me awake most of the night. This morning, I had one stressful thing happen, and...reset.

This will be my only reset for the month of March. I have all the tools I need for long-term sobriety and I'm ready to apply them. I genuinely feel like I'm close to a breakthrough. Wish me luck.

 

Checking in and yet another reset!
Hope everyone is good, sorry I’ve been busy but hope to put in more regular appearances from now on. Great to see so many posts here …lots of enthusiastic members at the moment!

 

today was very fast and exhausting , didn't have good sleep, i was having anxiety, I had urges of course , but they weren't as strong, i think imma sleep early tomorrow I'm planning to Fast.

 

Thanks! Can you tell me more about Open DNS? How much does it cost? Any thanks

 

surprisingly it's a free service, this video will guide you through

 

Cheers really appreciate this! I might well do this but I guess it only offers minimal protection as if we really want to look at P then we just have to go into OpenDNS and change the settings to allow the blocked sites to be released? But I guess that is quite a faff and hopefully by the time we've thought of that we might have made another decision to actually not look at porn after all!? We need all the help we can get lol

 

make it hader for you to change the DNS , let someone change the router admin password , and there you go

 

Day 8 checking in and feeling great.

 

Checking in. Some temptations recently but they soon disappeared. Very unusual how they arrive out of the blue and then just vanish. Had enough of this cold, dreary winter and really looking forward to getting out during the warmer months. My goal is to make this the best year ever (as the kids say today).

Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

 

Some great updates going on.

Im at the stage where p seems like a weird thing. I’ve been here before and know that it takes exactly one Pmo to not feel that way. It’s not a huge barrier but offers a little protection.

listened to a podcast on dopamine. I’m sure most of you understand this more than me and I think I have to dig into this more.

overall feeling good, energy levels are high. Just did a home project yesterday and worked from 9am until 9pm with a stop for lunch. Exhausted at the end but I was impressed with my ability to keep going. Finished it off with a cool shower.

 

Reset last night.

Trying again today.

 

happy , focused and satisfied in the last few days , PMO was a big lie.

 

thank you bro I appreciate it , and would get this far without this amazing group
