Hi tavla, thank you :). This was a really interesting and educating thread and it was revealing to read your post too.

You have a very good point in bringing up addiction to other daily substances like sugar (or fats, or internet, ...).
There is a common mechanism at work and while porn consumption suggests links to sexuality, relationship, women, the actual problem sits deeper.

Thanks :).
It reminds me of what is really important.
In my mind, it reminds me of "Cat's in the Cradle" - it is such a scary and sad song about what you can loose when you waste your time with non-important stuff.

Hi enigmaaa,
not overly good at the moment. Kept falling in the last week. It is strange how I often think I can make it and few days later falling back to old habits. Somehow feeling too confident lures me into not being careful about my actions

Hello @stegiss! Trying to figure out what I was getting out of PMO -- what feelings it created or covered up -- & to address them in a healthier way. has helped me. Also, to ask myself what I’m going to put in place of PMO (something constructive of course) so I can immediately build up an alternative way of being. BEST of success, guy! (BTW, as a single dad your avatar really resonates with me.)

Hi there, and thanks.
I saw you are doing well on your current streak - Keep up the good faith!
