    Thanks man. I gave myself a goal with a time limit of 3 months now 2.5 months in skill development and getting a job. Things are better then that day, when you have support like you guys then it's easier to not give up. I am grateful.

    Checking in Fellowship!! :)

    Feeling much better today, yesterday i was run over by a bulldozer :D

    There has been a lot of discussion about personal issues and exaustion among us. So i will give you my example on that. Pay attention @Baki Hanma as this will help you on your current situation, i believe.

    Today, i woke up feeling well and energized. The only thing that lingered was the typical coldness feeling (withdrawal).
    But still i was emotionally exausted, like something was draining me.

    So, self-reflexion:
    "Man, what's going on? Why are you sad and bitter?"

    After some reflexion i found 3 major problems and 1 minor problem that i wasn't attending to! No wonder i was feeling drained.

    So i reflect on what to do about each problem, and go for it.
    Now 3 of those problems are solved, and the other problem i define an action plan to attend to it.

    Result: i'm feeling light, peaceful and inspired :). Not feeling pressure anymore. Pfiiiiuuuuuuuuuu :D :D

    So this is to say, Fellowship, that we must attend to our things. It is by definition a requisition to be a man.

    If we don't work on our problems, they will build up, and the pressure to escape will increase in proportion.

    So be aware my brothers and work on your life issues. But don't expect perfection! Organize, do one thing at a time.
    Like Mark Queppet says: you can do it all, you just can't do it all at once.

    Have a great day Warriors. God bless :)

    Yestarday was a good day, I rest almost all the day, I just check some job stuffs but was not too much time.

    Today I'll be alone almost all day, I'm going to control my urges and if it's necessary, I will go to a public place to reduce the urges. I worked out and took a cold shower.
    Keep strong my brothers.

    Check in day 32 hard mode. Nothing really exciting or bad to report. Feeling good. Next goal is 90 days. Looking forward to a full reboot. I like @LuckyMan ’s post about thinking about his funeral. That is a great meditation. I have rosary with skull beads to remind me I will die one day. I will meditate on what people would say at my funeral, I imagined a few times about what God would say to me. Asking me why I never used my gift of music to the fullest. Thank you for the great meditation.

    Hey everyone. Feel so bummed right now. I had an awesome streak of 210 days no PMO and a year porn free. Hard to believe looking back. This year I have relapsed a couple of times and feel like shit. Things are going really well for me right now. I just moved to a new city and got a great job. Despite this, I have felt kind of lonely and relapsed on porn. I am keeping my head up and taking a different approach. My plan is to do the following:

    1) Write out how great my life could be without porn. Write out how horrible my life could be if I continue down the path of porn.
    2) Go back to the office full time so I am not alone and board in my apartment with my personal laptop
    3) Begin a 90-day no P/M reset.
    4) Post on here every day to hold myself accountable

    I feel hopeless at the moment. That I will never overcome this. I hate the feeling of watching porn. When I am searching. When I am watching. All the way to the end it feels disgusting and shameful. I have to overcome this for the sake of my future. In order to do so I must first acknowledge defeat. Onwards and upwards. I'm excited for the journey ahead.

  18. Day 4 complete!

    I toughed it out after a triggering dream last night. Contact with my AP and getting some exercise helped. Next thing to work on is my sleep schedule. I stayed up in the common area socializing much later than I had meant to. Doing my best to get in bed as fast as I can now.

    St. Catherine of Siena, pray for us!

    day 1

    Last night I went to my first SA meeting. This feels more like rock bottom than every other thing I’ve done (including getting myself to the hospital over “too much masturbation).
    At the same time this triggered a big and sad fight with my wife who just said that we were in this position two years ago and I’m still at the same place (and it’s true, other parts have improved but I’m still addicted like crazy). At some point she asked me what do I see as a win, and what are my real goals, so here they are.

    By the end of this year I want to make it one month without PMO. By the end of next year I want to make it 3 months PMO free. And by the end of 2024 I want to be able to stay 6 months free of porn.

    I feel like everything is on the line. But I have to give it everything I got. This is my ultimate goal for the next chapter of my life.
    I saw people in that SA meeting that fought their addiction for 18 years in SE before breaking out. And I don’t want that. This must end now.
