Day 7 checking in. Here again because I'm feeling urges but I'm going to read through the forum for motivation again. GL everyone
Good for you! Being here is the right thing; if the motivation is not enough (from reading); consider writing; writing here about YOUR motivation; your struggle; your early wins (day by day); your "why"; your "reasons"; anything that keeps you in the right direction. Best of luck!
(13) This is what happens when you decide to just take a peek (don't think about checking out anything!)
check check day 4 at this point im just trying to channel all the energy and nutrient minerals into focusing on other tasks like making money, workout, business etc... i will leave the house if withdraws are bad enough but its the realization of you knowing "if i stay here any longer" yeah,... got to know YOU. the mindset that im running with right now is... just one more day.
sounds interesting, let me check out your page but definitely share some of that solid knowledge here more often because im sure i aint the only one thats interested, the more we all know the more meaningful intellectual conversation we can all have and the more we can help.
its tough because PMOdemons Ive tried hard to completely destroy or kill but never goes away, i just cant seem to win that war and self doubt. its differnt for everybody but what i try doing is win the battle... inside everyday.
Day 16. Checking In. I had considerable urges last night. But I just threw away the phone and tried my best to sleep. After a little struggling I managed to surrender myself to sleep. Exercise streak - Day 10. Feeling much more energetic everyday. What I want to write here tomorrow :- Day 17. Checking In. This is my goal for today.
Day 16 tomorrow morning. Honestly having very little urges atm. It's funny because I had a very stressful day this morning, totally out of my control but very frustrating. I haven't had any urges from it though, which is how it used to happen... get stressed/angry, feel like life sucks, think about porn to make things better. It also seems like maybe the things that used to stress me a lot, don't stress me as much now. Anyways... definitely in a good place atm. Remember we're keeping the same day, and I'm the furthest from resetting that I've ever been... so no excuses!
Yo! I will try my best to walk along with you bro. Let's not make our counters to have different readings
Love your vibe man!!! Thanks for all the thoughts you shared above its just lovely; glad you're on to a plan and I will share with this supportive group more as the days come I promise Take care; one step at a time, see ya tommorow!
Finally! Made it back to 30 days for the first time in almost 3 years. I'm giving myself the 30 Day Sun of Hope Award! I had strong urges and edged a little for the last few days, but avoided any actual P and M. I'm going to keep climbing and try to beat my current all-time record, which is 56 days. Thanks for your participation in the group, it really helps me a lot.
So glad for you; AMAZING NEWS; you deserved that award the first time Wishing you the very best, with all that experience under your belt (LOL) you deserve the top spot Keep up that spirit!
Day 17. Checking In. I slept early yesterday night. This avoided any urges and thoughts of loneliness. Woke up this morning did exercise. Workout streak is 11 days now. What I want to write here tomorrow : Day 18. I hope I will pass this day without any difficulty. Good luck you all. Keep it up.
Recovery is more than abstinence... it includes recognizing rituals that can trigger a relapse. It means changing behaviors that bring us into temptation. If the wife leaves the house, then we might have to leave the house. If we're used to staying up later than the wife, then we have to change our bedtime. Routines are hard to change but we have to break out of our behavior ruts that end in PMO. Addiction is a lonely place to live; it's a web of lies. Our addiction doesn't question us, doesn't complain or makes demands. It tricks us momentarily with a promise to feel better. It becomes our one source of synthetic instant jolt of joy, while at the same time it destroys our lives, and drives us into further isolation. It robs us of our humanity. Recovery is about recovering our humanity and becoming human again. Thanks to @i_wanna_get_better1 & @D . J . !
