    just wanted to post this cause I felt like writing it down. I’ve tried quiting for a really long time but always cave after 4-5 days. Last week I started working at a job that I do every year but it’s only for about two weeks. This year we had a few new members join us and one of them is a really beautiful girl. And for some reason it’s made me want to be better about this. I wake up happy now cause I get to go to work to hang out with her. Now hit a 10 day streak for the first time ever. She may not be the one or have feelings for me, but it’s definitely given me hope

  2. I feel for ya dude. I just hope the same the same thing happens to me. I've never really had a girl care about me before and it would be pretty awesome if one did it would be a real motivation booster.

  3. Good on you mate. Im pleased to read of your happiness. But remember, she isn't your source of happiness, that actually stems from your self-made decision to see to a challenge and accept it. Its called evolving, and it began when you decided to change from the old to the new and just BE.

    Now that you got "it" will you be big enough to accept the weight of everything that comes with it, and still be happy?

    That's great! Did you get her number or something yet?
     
  5. I think having a regular woman friend in our lives can be a good help in the over all battle.

    For me, I think about what kind of person I become when I’m constantly PMOing. I’m a sex crazed two faced scumbag when I’m deep in my addiction.

    When I stay clean and sober I’m a cool person to be around.

    I’ve made friends with a woman I really like and care about and I want to continue to be the cool person she likes to spend time with. If I go back to PMO I’ll become that two faced a-hole that will cause her to run from me and not look back.

    That would break my heart if that ever happened. So I’m going to keep seeing my counselor and keep going to the SAA meetings. I like this new life and don’t want to go back to the old.

    Don’t feel bad George, the most I’ve ever gone is 3 days but now that I’ve learned the negative effects of M and started an account on this site, I’m determined to reach inside myself and quit. It’s not your fault or mine. Pornography is one of the most tempting and destructive vices around and young people don’t even realize it because they’re not taught the negative effects of it. Porn was very taboo in the 50’s and 60’s and the explosion of pornography over the last couple of decades is the main reason for the drastic decline of testosterone in men today. Good luck.

    Just keep going strong brother. The self confidence and women attraction is real after longer streaks. Although they are only bonuses compared to being the best version you could possibly be

    Indeed it is, bro :U now that I have a gf again it's been way easier for me to quit watching porn as I feel it'd be quite disrespectful for her for me to keep looking at naked women other than her - plus, damn does she turn me on so bad! don't know you, but I prefer to squeeze her 36Cs on my own hands rather than watching at something maybe bigger or better shaped but from a cold, unsensitive screen lmao

    Exactly. Helps you realize that porn isn’t real and the real stuff is so much better

    Do not want to sound like a jerk, but be careful if she starts to get close to another man. Even if you didn't consider anything romantic with her, seeing her with someone else can trigger depressive thoughts that can lead back to PMO. Or maybe that is just me, but still, i wanted to warn.

    It's NICE when you meet a girl that you find attractive. I have been there.

    Even just being friends with an attractive girl helps because she's "subconsciously" teaching you how to treat an attractive girl the right way. Just be sure that she's not married otherwise her husband will get jealous.

    There is a soothing healing when an attractive girl is around you. If you two are just friends, ask her about the tips on how to get women. It'll make her feel very special BECAUSE it tells her you really trust her.

    I know exactly how you feel. It's a nice feeling even if it's just friends with an attractive girl.

    You’re right about that. She went on a date without somebody recently and it kinda brought me down but not enough to PMO so I’m still going strong

    It's always a bummer and even emotionally painful when that happens, but I see it as fuel for motivation. I always take a good hard look at myself and think "what do I not have?" - and work on it. It can be a positive thing if you know how to turn pain into motivation. I don't know about you guys, but music helps me alot in the motivation department as well, it works as an aid.

    Update: the job ended and she went back home so no relationship will come of it (probably). But I’m over 2 weeks free and really have no desire to watch porn. Told her how much fun I had with her and hopefully I’ll see her again cause her friendship helped me more than she knows
