Day 16..feeling strong and energized

 

80 days. Got accidentally triggered by a tv show last night. When you stop watching P, you really notice how sexualized our culture is. We, as men, are being constantly targeted by the entertainment and advertising industries - they prey upon our natural appreciation of female beauty. Profiteers will leverage our natural responses without an ounce of remorse. And society mostly does not care that we struggle with such temptations.

Therefore we must take responsibility for our own lives in spite of the influences around us. We must develop a strong inner core of self-esteem and resilience. We must learn self-discipline, and build a shield around us in a way that protects us from these manipulations. Remember that it is we who control the direction of our lives. We can do it guys. Let's support each other, and keep moving forward towards a healthy future.

 

Hey man I can really relate to this, we're kind of in the same boat. I've been alone and celibate for 10+ years now, mainly due to health issues that threw my life completely off-track. I'm really not sure how I'm going to manage long-term, whether I'll try to find a serious girlfriend somehow, or just commit to going monk-mode for the duration.

Never been one for casual hookups, and repeated PMO binges leads only to darkness for me. I'm taking this all a day at a time right now, but honestly uncertain how I'm going to proceed over the coming months, years.

I wish I had some better advice or words of encouragement for you. But I at least wanted to let you know you're not alone in your struggles buddy. All we can do in this life is our best. I hope that we both can find a positive path that works for us.

Fully committing myself to moving beyond just no PMO:

from here on out lust will have no foothold in my mind until I truly know I can allow sexuality to flourish in my mind to the benefit of my health.

NoArousal, here I go..

 

A post like this remembers me of the fantastic book "The Name Of The Rose" by Umberto Eco. Very inspiring. May God bless us all in our efforts.

 

4 1/2 years, wow. Congratulations, I wish you good luck in your further journey. I have been on this challenge for a very long time and I know so have you. Seeing you finally at the finish line is really inspiring to me, thank you.

 

Wow man GREAT job!! I'm so inspired by you. Thank you for sharing your journey with us all

Day 3 of 365 completed after 2 relapses this past week. Was totally upfront and honest with my wife and that has made a huge difference in moving forward on this journey. So far things are good.

 

216/365. It's so mind boggling that I've come this far on this challenge.
