Hey guys, I walked away from the forum a while back. I'm not sure why but I thought I could do it on my own. Here I am again back at square 1. I went 4 weeks and slipped up today so I'm going to journal this again. Goal 1 lets get a week going starting today.
Hey guys, one day back in this fight and I've resolved to write a journal entry everyday. I'm feelin ok but a subtle pull deep inside. Maybe it's that chaser effect although when I slipped yesterday it was actually due to edging to soft core pictures. I stopped myself when I was about to orgasm but even with everything in me it still happened. I feel very guilty and self loathing today but also very energized and positive. Kind of like a pendulum swinging back and forth between these two opposite emotional levels. I worked out very early today and very hard and felt a very strong trigger afterwards. I seem to get this often as I feel like I'm the man after a good work out and really want to fap. Has anyone else ever dealt with this trigger and any effective ways of dealing with it or ideas. As I feel working out is important to staying healthy and keeping focused so it's both positive and triggering. When I got back home afterwards rather than shower right away I took my dogs out then went and showered after. I feel like that short amount of time really helped me to breath for a second and regain my resolve. When I showered I kept it cold. Got out, cooked a very healthy breakfast and am now headed to work. I know I'll be fine throughout the rest of the day! Thanks for all the support guys, let's keep fighting this together. Freedom is on the horizon and victory is coming. #neverquit
I sometimes have that problem it became such a habit to look at porn that I would do it out of habit just like a cigarette smoking it even tho you don't feel for it. It also became a form of celebration when I would accomplish certain things and so when I would do something I said I'd dk I'd feel so good that I actually progressed in life in a way that I would want to pmo but this is just the habit calling us back to its dirty lowly ways of despair.i hope you stay strong and find a better way to congratulate yourself upon progression in any little thing in life and that a new way of celebration while with ourselves become adamant until we are renewed.
Hey guys, feelin good today. Work up early again did some stretching. Felt a little bit of a pull but really nothing to bad. It's so weird yesterday something went wrong at work and I began to feel like I was being punished. I still feel that way a bit today but I know it's just my brain messing with me. Today is going to be a good day and I don't foresee any potential troubles as I head to work. Looking forward to continuing to write a great success story. #youaretheauthorofyoursuccess #staystrong
Good luck to all of you. In regards to @richardlessman , I think there is something to be said for natural testosterone levels (or generation) in a man during post workout recovery. I think this natural hormonal response will cause the desire to be sexually active and that could be a good thing. IT just means you may have to be extra carful during your post workout periods. Having experienced these feelings frequently myself, I noticed that if I can hold together till later in the day then I am able to do another workout and tire myself to the point that all I want is sleep. Also, I'm working on writing something to my journal on most days to better engage my brain in this effort because I know I won't succeed otherwise.
