Step 1/6 Why? This addiction is destroying my self-confidence, self-respect, dreams and future. This doesn't suit the person I am and the person I want to become. This is the year it stops! How? I will limit my internet use this week and use my smartphone and PC mindfully, I will be more grateful for the people around me and the little things in my life, I will be less hard on myself and have more respect for the road I have already taken and for my inexhaustible perseverance...
0/5 m'ed again today, it's so hard not to do that thing this week, let's hope I can pass the weekend clean.

1/6 again, due to a sneak glance yesterday before bed Feelings of shame and regret... That sneak glance was totally NOT worth it! Especially after all the hard work I put in the last few weeks. Luckily I am not starting from 0 again and I learned a few new things that will help me on my journey... I need to keep my WHY in mind! Why? This addiction is destroying my self-confidence, self-respect, dreams and future. This doesn't suit the person I am and the person I want to become. I need to free myself from it! NOW!
2/3 I stumbled today, it bordered on a reset but I'll look the other way this time. Gotta stay out of dangerous situations. UPDATE: Failed. Once you start there's no stoppin. 5 days again, the magic barrier. At least it wasn't porn.
It's never been worth it and it never will be. It's good to see you keep your reasons to quit clearly in your mind. That's the best response for all temptations. They get lost into nonexistence when you live your true life. These are important moments. I wish you strength in resolve.
1/4 Step 4 begins Through the process of rebooting I rewire my brain in order to beat pmo addiction I overcome bad habits by practicing my personal values
Nothing can beat the true satisfaction that completion of real work can give. Even that can be overwritten by the rush you get from porn. As rewards, they must not be even compared, since the first is about wholeness and completion while the latter just causes shame and makes you sick.
2/5 Late check in because I just arrived at home, hanging out with friends is a better things to do than sitting alone at home doing PMO and then regretting it.
