Strangely ... no. It stems from the fact that I am a very visual person (I guess no one is surprised to here that, this is a forum for porn addicts!) I know that if I watched a screen version I would no longer be able to remember my own version of how the characters looked, and I do not want to lose that. I didn't watch the Lord of the Rings films for the same reason.
It's OK if I saw the film before reading the book (Never Let Me Go is another favourite book, but I saw the film first) Please report back. I did allow myself the stage version, which was shockingly terrible.
It was interesting. I really missed this place and it was hard to tell if that was healthy or not. Part of it was, these forums are a key part of my sobriety, but part of it wasn't, there's an anxious tug I feel about coming here (c.f. porn!)
Thanks @vxlccm yes, I've had a lovely week on a business trip in Glasgow and now I'm on the train home excited to be seeing my wife soon. But I should be writing my appraisal and instead I'm procrastinating here!
Props on that good husband experience. Priceless. And, for generally "providing" that fallow space. It's a beautiful thing.
Thanks @Solomon435. I've had the badge removed. I've been a Moderator Assistant for a while now, helping remove spam and re-home misplaced threads. But I cannot cope with the staff badge or similar. It'd make me look like some kind of guru when I feel like a fellow addict trying to make sense of all this
Thank you sir for being such an inspiration! I read lots of your posts and from them i extracted useful life lessons :) I wish you all the best!
Hello, Sir A big salute to your achievemet. And wish you free from this nasty monster. All the very best. Hope i could get some spirit from you
Hey there, Mr. Whale. It's been good to [still] see you here. I've honestly been staying caught up with your journal, without much useful to add beyond a supporting Like here and there. Glad another whale is at the surface light and still decided to remain with us instead of swimming away.
Very well. Still reading posts here, having therapy, et. but the day-to-day challenges have moved on from porn use to stopping oggling and silencing idle sexual fantasies, though even they are proving easier to master than I'd feared they would. I'm on 807 days without porn and 798 without masturbation. It's made such a positive difference to my life! Thanks for popping by.
kropo82 was last seen: Viewing thread ww.supplentforhealthylifestyle.org/kings-gold-keto, A moment ago- The spam these days! :/
I know! The thing I don't get is why there's a throttle on how quickly we report spam. Established members should not have to twiddle their thumbs waiting 20 seconds between each spam report that they submit, madness
Yeah. I see justification in general reports being spread out, but there ought to be some sort of segregation for spam reports, to speed it up. I hate seeing spam litter this awesome site, and being unable to do anything about it, be it for a few seconds! >:(
Tim, I wish you and your spouse a very happy, meaningful and peaceful day. I hope you don't mind if I follow you. :-)
It's always a pat on the back when someone follows you. I wrtie my journal for me, as a way of navigating through my journey to stay porn free and as a way to reflect on the insights about myself that giving up porn uncovers. If other people find that useful then I am touched.
It is also really useful when people here comment on each other's journals. I've found posts that agree with me, offer me support, or even challenge me incredibly useful.
Whoa! Surprise two paragraphs! :P :) Thank you for the message(s), and yes, you thoroughly deserve that pat on the back. I think the challenging posts can be arguably the most constructive. And you have indeed provided such insight that has been useful to me. So, for that, I thank you. :)
Thanks for saying so, and it is a shame that the forums clearly did not work out for you; they have been a cornerstone of my current streak.
You are officially and fully a next-level fapstronaut. Thanks for [still] taking the time for many high-quality posts, sir.
