    Day 4

    Some things to watch out for while battling your addiction,
    consider these "emotional pitfalls":
    -complacency
    -dependency
    -grandiosity

    If you notice any of these three things in your life start making changes

    Day 5
    Still going strong, im getting closer
     
  5. Second day is half way through! I'm a bit sick today got the flu so that helps keep the urges down and ups my time in bed away from my computer. We'll see how the next few days go! I know they'll be good though! :D
     
  6. Thanks man! Good luck to you too! :)

    Never give up aakkss. Im glad you recognize it as false pleasure because thats what it is. Life does not have to be without pleasure but often the world fools us into thinking we need pleasure at all times. We dont.

    Yeah keeping our head and torso together can be a little harder nowadays but its one of the best things you can do for yourself. Your body is your mind

    Everyone is different

    Something that personally works for me is turning all my electronics off and then just think. Maybe sit down, maybe stretch, but nothing else besides just breathing and percieving with a realistic but optimistic attitude towards your addiction problems.

    Day 23 Update

    Well so far so good and its great thinking there are only 7 days to go to my first milestone :)

    My urge to M goes up and down (so to speak)…its vey difficult with morning wood to not think well why not but I'm managing to hold those urges at bay.

    Haven't looked at porn at all and now finding that I can do without it. Have to say though that having a girlfriend has been a massive help to getting off the porn and also working out regularly. In the past though, even with a girlfriend I would be surfing porn and watching streaming websites and M'ing lots of times a day (in-between the days I would see her). I'm beginning to realise that this was having a massive impact on my bedroom performance and ability to get turned on with a real woman…recently I've noticed a big improvement :) Long may it continue!!

    Keep forging ahead guys...

    @Wazi , what I do is have triggers. Condition yourself to do something as soon as the urge comes. If Im at home, as soon as the urge comes I pick up my current book and start reading it till it goes away because Im so immersed in the book. So to my brain sex urge= read a book. Kinda like classical association if you will.

    Exactly, you have to find ways to retrain your brain to change your bad habits. Easier said than done, especially at first, but completely possible and completely worth it.

    And reading a book is one of the best timekillers in history. Thanks for the tip Aby

    Congrats badgerio! "keep it up"

    ...haha get it?
     
  19. Well. Lost a battle today. I deleted K9 yesterday because it was making it harder to use my computer and today I broke after about an hour of urges, but I turned to the hosts file in system32 afterwords and added every porn site I could possibly think of so that my internet browsing isn't as limited as it was with K9 but still blocks what I need it too. Well... I'm off to take a shower and then be productive for the rest of the day... good luck guys and don't give in...

    Internet browsing can be a dangerous habit
