    I just saw that I'm way over four weeks on my no pmo journey.

    This time has been completely different. I have had very weak and few urges for porn. When they've come I just say no. Same goes for erotic thoughts, the beginnings of a sexual fantasy, whatever, I just say no. Keeping horniness out of my head has been the difference, then my body doesn't get carried away, loading me up with tentpole hormones etc. Because for me, once I get to that stage it's almost impossible to come back, so I keep a clean mind and thoughts.

    Telling myself to 'keep it clean' has changed everything, it makes me consciously aware of anything sexual that pops in my head, and more and more as soon as I say it, the thought is gone.

    This had been a hard stretch, living on my own, really lonely and starved of human interaction, I'm going for two months to be with my family, I feel really confident of hitting 90 days no pmo.

    With each step forward my perspective has changed, each time from my new vantage point the next step looks more possible and achievable.

    I realise that all this stuff, every experience is a blessing, if you can look at it from the right place. This last week I've been waking with a smile on my face, whereas the previous week had me anxious and fearful as I saw the light of a new day waiting behind the curtains. The fear I felt is now excitement, exhilaration of new prospects. Possibilities of future work, interesting opportunities, feeling all the way through me the value of my family members and how lucky I am to have my mother and sisters. I have a will to meet new people, I want interaction, new stuff to do.

    hey man....the opposite of addiction is connection. I am glad for your progress, I do hope you will make it to 90. not only that, i hope you form new habits and new healthy ways to fill the void instead of with PMO. Great things are ahead of us! Godspeed!

  3. Wow you achieved a big milestone. Don't be too shy in showing off a little. Be proud of what you have accomplished. I hope to reach that level in four weeks myself. Thanks for being an inspiration!

    Thanks. The thing is I have done so many things that wouldn't be inspiring to you, to get me to this place I'm in now. But each of those things was a stepping stone. Each time afterwards, what felt like failure and despair turned into solid experience. To know myself better, how my mind worked, slowly they all became a solid place to stand where I could put my next step forward.
    All the best!

    My ideas for new things to fill the void and more than that, my new capacity for things are -; I want to learn how to weight lift properly, so when I get to the UK I'm going to join a gym. Also want to join a drama group, I experience social anxiety sometimes and I want to dive headlong into it. Also get back in the pool every week and do some solid swimming. So a lot of physical things, it shows to me the potential of my energy, when not spent on pmo.

  7. Is it inspiring to YOU? Are you proud of your accomplishments? Who cares about what I think

    Yes I am proud. I was just saying how behind what I achieved and you found inspirational were things that you wouldn't find inspirational. I don't really care what you think, but I was grateful for your comment, it's always nice.

    Dude I was right there thirty days ago. Like I wrote above, they are stepping stones. There's no such thing as failing if your heart is in it. If you keep going you are winning. I wish you the best of course! And anyone else reading this.
