    I can really relate to this. I wonder what happened to the old me too. It feels like he died a long time ago, and I really want him back. Porn is a life destroyer. Hang in there man.

    Ive noticed over the past month that in an effort to understand and tamp down my urges I have tapped into a sort of thought rhythm. I finally feel like the amount of time i spend fantasizing about this woman or that woman is something I can better manage. My memory and my attention is improving because I have engaged in a diet of the mind so to speak. I dont think its a "super power" as I have seen it written here. Its just standard operating procedure but Ive been mentally fractured and distracted for such a long time that it feels like it.
    My outward identity hasnt really been an issue, I have always engaged in the things I was interested in, and there are quite a few. My issue has been shame and feeling like a p.o.s. because of my "closed door" activities and I think its true that there is a conflict between the two personas as Super Furry Thing said.
    I have had every opportunity to fall back into old habits over the last two weeks, and I stayed strong. Even if I fail today Im pleased with myself and now have something to build on. I think that thats the key. Keep trying to figure it out no matter what, just keep trying.

    This is a positive thing though, right? Having the chance to re-find and re-define what makes us tick, what makes us happy, and what brings us fulfilment sounds like an exciting period in our life. No?
     
  5. I agree Kropo. We have to utilize the power of positive thinking because otherwise the negative thinking of "wasted time, wasted energy, don't know who I am, I'm bad" will overwhelm us
