Regarding the hypnotic tracks there are people like Glenn Harrold, Craig Beck and Paul Mckenna. There are others as well but those are my favorite so far. I tried listening to audio books while jogging, it does have a good effect. I personally prefer to read though since the retention is much higher
My friend I really appreciate your words. First of all i'm glad my forum has this effect on you, and I like the graph that you sent me. That's a motivation by itself. I also like how you recommended me to write a book, it might be something I'll consider in the future. Goodluck to you and all the best
Your whole text really resonates with me. You are writing exactly what i am thinking and similar to what i have been through as well, just way more sophisticated and with much better phrasing. It truly was a joy to read. Thank you for putting so much effort into this post and for sharing your experience. @Aviator24: I still have a question thuogh... Did you still have your brain coming up with memories of porn scenes from time to time? I am at 40 days without porn and arund 20 days without MO, but my brain keeps bringing up past scenes from porn i used to watch, and i try to redirect my attention immediately, but those sexual thoughts are more annoying then anything else... It feels like my brain is trying to fight me trying to fight my porn addiction. Because i am not watching anything anymore, it just sends those pictures to my mind anyhow. I never M to it and try everything i can to not even touch myself if they come up. Did you have this as well, and if yes for how long, and how did you deal with it?
Hey man. It really makes me happy to hear such feedback because in the past I thought I was the only one going through such painful thoughts. It's my absolute pleasure to help. Never stop going forward on this path and the more you do this, the greater you'll feel in your life. 40 days is an achievement, congrats. I remember I had these past images popping up in my mind and this is very normal. If you've been watching P for very long time, it's your subconscious mind reminding you "hey I miss that intense pleasure from P where are they?" That's why my friend the longer you delay M and continue your journey, you'll master self control and tell your subconscious mind to stfu. Not in a hatred way of course, but in a new powerful version of yourself that wants to control life positively. Right now I no longer get P scenes at all. Literally. Of course as a man I get strong urges whether I talk to a woman, or see a picture from tv or anything that resembles a female. I consciously take my focus out and do something productive instead. The urge goes away. That's self control. It'll take some time to practice and master, and it is very worth it. Delaying a biological urge to M for a positive brainwash is a very powerful lesson for you. Goodluck man
I really like this. "Telling my mind to Stfu." That's something i would say as well I've MO'd twice after i stopped watching porn, always without much or with no imagination. Now, it feels better to do the whole thing without actively MO'ing, just so the brain won't get any release and dopamin activation. And i know those things go away the second i am with a real girl. And while i don't need to have them, i still believe they still are an amzing addition to our lives. I choose to have them in my life. Not a specific girl, because i just don't believe in "The One", but girls in general. They don't even have to be intimate partners. I just like and enjoy their energy. And if i get the gift of getting rid of my PIED, i am willing to do this forever.
I aimed not to M at all. Let it happen naturally as I said in my forum, whether from a wet dream or a girl playing with it. That is rewiring right there. Godlike to your journey buddy, hopefully we'll share success stories in the future
One of the best post I've ever read here. Thank you for this. Keep fighting Mate! We can beat this sh*t. Keep going!
Really inspiring I feel like you are on the other side of the world or speaking to me from the future I wish i will arrive one day
That was a great read, thanks for sharing. So nice how your life has transformed man. May the journey of a good life continue, be blessed bro
Great post sir. I don't consider myself were you are at but I know I'm getting better. After my last binge session (150+ days ago) I can say porn is behind me. There was some change in that I wasn't going to slip anymore. Now that I no longer have that battle to fight I have more energy to face other areas of my life. Your advice: 1) Definitely look at the big picture and beyond. What's going to keep us away from porn if we don't have something to replace it? 2) Exercise is definitely a hard one for me. I do labour work but not scripted exercise. 3) Reading self help books definitely would be a good replacement to browsing the internet or video games. 4) The idea of making friends with girls is something I'm working on. Actually, making friends with people is a better way for me to look at it. Even with guys there always seemed to be a barrier. 5) I have a journal, this is a good reminder to get back into it. Typically I wrote before bed. I'll try in the morning instead. This means I'll need to go to bed earlier and rise earlier. 6) Never looked into hypnosis. Taking my best guess I'd say it is likely to work on the same principles advertisements do to influence us. In a sense, a hypnosis to counter the hypnosis we encounter every day. I'll keep it in mind to look into.
