Thanks ,I appreciate your saying that. I like what you said about a great strength from facing ourselves head on.
Checking in on another day. Five days of the Ramadan fast under my belt. I eat like a dang coyote each nite when I break the fast. I wolf down about as much as I can in 10 minutes or so. I think it's time to practice some self control at meal time. Anyway I haven't been bothered much with urges thank God since I know that they can hit unexpectedly. I admire the guys who really do battle with urges and come out victorious. Life is good. One day at a time.
Speaking of being bothered by urges, I've notice some temptations this past week to dwell on mental images that feed my sexual urges. This commitment to noPMO comes down to what you do with your mind. I was really on top of this at first, refusing to dwell on anything that was sexually appealing. Part of this process is understanding that a person's level of inspiration, determination and desire to hold strong to their commitment fluctuates over time and we have the ongoing need to monitor that and adjust as needed.
Thank you for staying with this and restarting when you need to. Clearing up a porn addiction, sexual addiction or whatever you want to call it is a very big step forward in life, and it takes patience. Like anything you do that really matters, it takes enormous commitment and time, but it has to be done regardless. The journey will transform you from the inside out. It's about getting clear about what you want your life to be, learning how you control what happens in your mind, and understanding the impact of your thoughts.
Day 76 of my initial 90 day streak but I already want to go further, up to one year. Would be great to talk to someone in dm attempting the same
