Thanks I’ll have a look✌️

Ok. no probs.. I have completed 90 and 72 days porn free in the past and still returned to PMO.. so I’m not the success story yet.. I’ll tell you straight how meditation works for me and also one potential draw back First off it is way more important to be consistent rather than irregular...

Porn does that man.. it’s pretty well documented that it’s the shock factor as much as anything that triggers dopamine release. I remember watching some hot chick stripping and getting into it and then her boner pops out.. and it shocked the shit outta me.. but you know with your dick in your...

Totally agree about yoga and meditation.. consistent meditation makes a world of difference for me.. the length of time being way less important than just doing it daily or in my case twice daily.. that consistency builds a calmness and clarity that’s powerful. Getting slack in my meditation has...

Thanks for the reply, I hear what you're saying and I know you’re both right.. it just comes down to have the discipline in the moment regardless of the strength of the association of using the device for porn. I did take j707’s advice and find a porn blocker which is waaaay better than the old...

Thanks man, I did remove my social media accounts recently as I just see them as an ongoing problem. I was a gigging musician so was stuck between a rock and a hard place with the need to advertise gigs. I have decided to not go back to gigging after the covid thing and so was easy to get rid...

Can’t think of any other way to describe this but if we were all alcoholics we could avoid alcohol.. but we live in a world where our addiction is delivered directly to devices which as far as I can see we have no choice but to use.. to me as a porn addicted person I am most vulnerable when I...

Thank you for this post man it’s amazing.. I literally just wrote a post in my journal about having had longish successes and then relapsing.. then the very slow downward spiral which ended in me doing exactly as you said 3 days and a relapse pattern.. which becomes acceptable.. like you’re not...

I actually try and see it in a positive sense.. so for example I used to PMO twice a day on avg..(700 per year roughly) if I was counting my old “normal” it would be over a hundred by now.. right now it’s 13 for this year so to me that shows me that I’m still way ahead of where I used to be and...

Thanks for the YT info Ju@n.. I shall look them up

I’m very glad to read this tonight.. well done

wow..awesome man

Thanks for the post..

Awesome post man.. thanks so much.. “numbed” by porn is a phrase that jumped out and also glad to see that you say you can’t ever go back.. I totally agree.. I’ve gotten to 90 and 72 days in the past and now consider myself 100% unable to mildly consume etc.. I also do small steps at a time...

I think you make a good point.. I don’t think your comparison is strictly fair either.. I think porn is much worse.. to me the lack of boundaries and active encouragement to escalation into darker and weirder shit, by its nature has way more potential to be something to feel ashamed about. I...
