    Hi.

    I made it:). First of all It's not Prima Aprillis joke:). I'm very thankful that I found this forum. Thank you everyone for supportin me and off course my Lord who founds me on my road. It was not my first time when I tried to abstain from porn. I recognize that it's wrong few years ago... but now with him it was really easier to manage it. But I know that ain't over and I have to work hard. I want to be better every day and it's not only about not doing PMO but from matter of time I know that staying clean affects on every aspect of life. New goal? Abstain from PMO to the end of the year. I know it is possible but I remember days when It was like a dream. Now I have more energy, my mind is cleaner and my power of will is better. I had some dark times last year: OCD issues, depression episodes and everything almost gone. I don't smoke pot and cigarretes anymore. I'm feelin that this whole year gonna be great. Good luck everyone with PMO thing and averything you are aimin for.



    What can I say to people who trying to abstain it? My personal fundamentals. I know some parts are pretty obvious but it's really worth to remember it.

    1. Block porn sites and delete all movies. You have to do it!

    2. On first part of your war:). Try to find something what can bring you some dopamine. Eat bananas and some other dopamine food.

    3. Doing sports can be really helpful at the start when your mood is feeling down.

    4. Find some passion. I think it's better to run, playing ball, instruments and even playing some games than watch those fakes sexual acts.



    5. Pray everyday.

    I should take it to the first position but I know that not everyone are Christians. I'm praying almost everyday on rosary and the chaplet of divine of mercy. Reading Bible too.:) Now I found how wise is that book.

    6. Be patient and don't give up when you fall. Reading this site is really helpful when you feeling down.

    7. Be thankful:).

    Stay strong and God bless you all.

    Congratulations, Antoine, for making it 90 days!!

    I love #7. Going for 1 day without PMO is already something to be thankful for.

    Thank you for sharing your success with us. And keep going! Until the end of the year? Yes, you can make it. This is your year!

    Hey man, I'm on day 21 now and I feel really good. I wouldn't made it this far if it wasn't for Jesus Christ, He gave me motivation and the will and the power to fight the addiction... He really helps! Keep it up brother, stay strong and don't give up the fight!
    GOD BLESS YOU!
    P.s: cold showers really help. Been doing it for about a month...

    I don't know what you exactly asking about:). I'm not there yet but you are what you eat... So I'm eating light right now:) I want bring that brightest part of me to others. Good luck everyone with "getting there".
     
  8. Praise the Lord God for bringing me here after answering my prayers for release from my lifelong PMO addiction. I have been FREE for over 37 days and I feel amazing. I can even taste the fresh air that I breathe in the mornings :)

    BTW, I just mentally block the porn sites or whatever triggers me. Since I use Youtube, softcore porn and seductive material is unfortunately everywhere throughout its database. I trained myself to browse softcore porn (by that I mean anything as innocent as watching women's sports) without touching myself and that helped me rewire my brain so that I can easily skim through search results without relapsing or having to throw out my computer again.

    You gotta face the real world, the world is full of temptations; but not give in and give up. When you have God on your side, you have everything in accordance with your faith. When you believe in yourself, you have to show the world everything you have got.

    120 days:). That's almost four months. That's my new record and I was making PMO regulary from when I was 14-teen years old. Now I'm almost 26. My longest streak in life was something about 3 months. It was not first time that I tried to abstain from it. But know when I found God... everything is possible and It's really really easier:). Be patient and good luck everyone. Try to find light in your life:). These forum is definitely something brighter than these world full of lies.





    "All you gotta do is ask..."​

    I call it God.:) That's my sword and the shield. I don't need more than Jesus.

    Good luck everyone! You are what you eat... so eat a light!:) Sometimes It's blazing us too much but It's necessary to have it in your heart.

    I'd love an alternative to prayer that gives as much strength as prayer does. Atheist here ;)

    Thank you all!:)

    I'm happy that you are on a good way. 61 days is really nice score. What gave you so much strength?:) I tried a lot of "remediums" in my life:) - It's a long story. But there is no thing that I can compare to light that Jesus is giving me and it's not only about staying away from PMO. Good luck with your road mate!
