All of my life I knew I could have been better,do more but I never knew what was holding me back I still don't know if this is why but I will quit nevertheless here one of the files being deleted
Thanks guys I've been enlighted for the last couple days became a better,happier person and this was last thing I had to do.
I remember I did that a year ago - from that time It was a long journey, but good start!!! Anyway my collection was something around 80GB and I thought I had a big one ...
Well done! Honestly, I haven't crossed this bridge as yet and deletion hasn't crossed my mind until now (silly I know). My stash is however, all on an external that is slightly more difficult to access. I guess me hanging onto it now is more "sentimental" even though I don't access it at all or desire to. Maybe I'm just been a closet digital hoarder but your post @Orderman has given me the awareness I need regarding this. So thanks.
@IamMike If you are going to this you should delete it before you get horny don't deceive yourself saying that you won't touch it because you will want to and its better to do it know
On January 9th, almost one-year ago to the day I posted this in my journal - Big move today, tossing my porn stash. So much porn I have saved on CD's, probably 5000 pictures, 100 movies, and 100 erotic stories. During the early days on high-speed internet I had paid for a one-month access to a porn sight that catered to my fetish. I filled CD's with everything on that site and dropped the site after one month. I didn't think that I would ever toss this holy grail of porn, but it has to go. No regrets on tossing this crap out. I always had a fear that if something happened to me my stash would be found and it would leave an uncomfortable feeling for any loved ones who would have found it. But I was so addicted it took me until January 13th, 2015 to delete my flash drive of the Quality porn that I couldn't think of living without. That drive had 4000 files on it. Two years before that I tossed a steamer trunk full of VHS videos, magazines, and books. My life has been obsessed on porn for over 45-years. What a waste of time and productivity. I can't look back without regret, so I'm staying focused on the moment and the prospects of a better tomorrow. Congratulations on taking the big step and getting rid of your personal stash. A word of caution, the internet has more porn than you will ever be able to save. I've relapsed many times since I started my journey in December of 2014, but I'm growing and becoming healthier each day I stay away from PMO. Stay off the porn sights and continue your fight to be a better man.
On the good note, now you have 1.2 TB of free space. Fill it with anything beneficial to your recovery - work, meditation videos, workout videos, Motivational music, whatever. You've taken a huge step to recovery. We are all with you...
I had massive amounts of data on my machine when I started as well. I was actually rediculous enough to "lock them all away" into an encripted folder first. A day or two after I did that, I figured how rediculous that was, woke up in the middle of the night, went to my workstation and deleted that encrypted folder also... Two more days later I signed up to nofap... Edit: Today I figured out that the fake facebook profile that I have beside my actual one, and in which I am connected to a lot of hot girls (mostly fake profiles anyway) was reported as fake by somebody and hence blocked. I'll leave it with that!
You seem to be a DC comics fan like me (sorry I noticed the New 52). Good job though. (my collection was 20 or 19 GB and I deleted it) Have you tried activating Cortana ?
