My Reasons for Recovery

This is a post to follow up the last one I posted in the offtopic forum called 'My Rules for Recovery' again it is a list for my own benefit, to refer back to when I need a little reminding of my goals. I have made these two posts public however because partly I see them as therapeutic confessionals and also in the hope that someone else will relate and maybe get something from it. So here's a list of reasons why I'm quitting porn and masturbation and the benefits I hope to gain from doing it.


1. Recover more time in my life to spend in a wiser way.

2. Eliminate lethargy, lack of motivation, concentration and distraction.

3. Protect the long term physical health, hygiene and appearance of my penis

4. To finish intercourse wholly satisfied and not still in need of masturbation.

5. To eliminate the voyeurism, awkwardness, deceit, lies and shame that comes with the habit, not to mention the long showers.

6. Stop objectifying women, regain a greater appreciation for my wife's body and her sexuality instead of wallowing in the unrealistic worlds created by porn and my own fantasy.

7. Regain and redirect my time, my energy, sexual health and my thoughts back to what they are meant for.

8. Cultivate a sense of pride, self respect and self control in my life.

 

Thanks man I appreciate that, I still feel inspired by that quote whenever I see it, and then I look at my counter below, and feel more inspired And yeah it really does work, it works in a very subtle way, it strengthens your resolve and by helping others it helps you unpick things and learn about your own situation at the same time.

This thread is worth a look through....
