    My recovery has been going really well, until now :( Don't feel any cravings whatsoever for porn so I'm thinking that's a good thing. However, I have substituted porn by using an app called Omegle (chat app) and chatting to girls on there which obviously leads to MO. There's no pic swapping, just chat so I feel really bad that I'm "getting myself off" to just words on a screen. I've since deleted the app, but I'm really scared that I'll fall back into old habits and download it again. Also, I haven't been on here for a while as I though that I was doing so well, so maybe I should go back to basics and log into here every day and get some encouragement as it's really helped me with the porn. I've reset one of my counters, but as I said I'm glad that I haven't fallen back into watching porn. Oh well, let's start again. Thanks for listening guys!!

    It is just a chat app as you said. I don't see why talking to women needs to lead to MO. You might as well reset your counter when talking to RL people.
    I would recommend working on resistance and tolerance to those kind of things.

    Never heard of that app. How do you they are girls and not men or Chris Hansen?

    Hello Ben

    Forget Omegle whatever that is and be strong enough not to fall back on the old habits. Replace the old bad habits with new productive habits. I see you're on day 42 day now of not going on a particular site - it just so happened that was my favourite 'go to' site for p too 'back in the day' ..39 days ago (Wow :)) I haven't been anywhere near it or any others and its great you haven't either. I honestly thought I wouldn't last more than a couple of days without it but look where we are now - I just don't even bother wanting to go on it any more.

    Yes we will get urges but we're humans! Turn the urges into positive energy.

    Also don't chat to strangers instead chat to your wife - I'm sure she is much more interesting and would love to communicate with you more! Spend the time to leave secret love notes hidden around the house for her or something. Anyway I'm not a wise man by any means and don't want to preach. You are your own person - we have come this far and our army needs to keep on marching forward.

    just tell us your screen name and then we will all pretend to be girls and IM you and then you will become too paranoid to enjoy it.

    Thanks for the advice guys. Obviously I don't know who I'm talking to online as its all anonymous, so yes it could well be some "fat old man" as one of you fellas put it. But at the end of the day it was the words and the images that conjured up in my mind about what they would do to me, I would do to them etc.

    Manfro, so glad you were about pal and left a message :) I feel that we can relate quite closely to what we're going through and it's also interesting to hear that we both shared the same "go to" P website, lol!!
    Again, thanks for the advice and leaving notes around for my wife and talking to her more is a no-brainer. I hope that you're still keeping strong? Hope to keep in touch with you soon Manfro.
