Thanks B! Just got a bit of a shitty work environment, which is tiring me out. It's hard to keep your priorities straight when you're like that.

Video of the day for me - Kill that f*cking coward!

Repeating myself but - you do have to replace the bad habits with good ones. Its hard, but try and do it. Examples were given in a post before mine, but anything positive will do - there are countless online courses you can do, get in touch with family and friends more often, exercise, read, whatever just do positive things, you very well know what they are

Keep it going guys!

 

Day 7.
I joined this forum 178 days ago. Of those 178 days, I was 159 days without P.

 

Would love to read it!

 

Thanks for all the support. Day 5/90.

I have quit smoking pot since about 10 days now. It makes quite a difference. These two addictions of mine are so connected

 

Day 16.
For the past days I have been feeling zero motivation
I was expecting to be motivated or feel some drive to do any task. But I only want to do tasks that require almost no willpower power. Like watching movies or just sleeping.

 

Day 8 rebooting. Have been reading the forum rebooting as the best remedy. It helped me a lot!

 

I have been addicted to porn i wanna change

 

Welcome man. We are with you. Keep going!

 

That's great. At this time of our lives we ought to engage in things that will motivate us, and not discourage us. Success is awaiting us.

 

Good to know. The most important step is being willing to change. We are a group that is committed to overcome PMOing. Welcome to the family. If there is any challenge, you can share with us.

 

Day 7/90 Completed​

Today is my 7th day of no PMO. I struggled yesternight, but here I am today victorious. I feel energetic for not falling to PMO. It is better to spend time with ourselves, and loved ones than watch people on screens doing things that are damaging to our overall wellbeing.

 

17 days complete

Today is a tough day. My brain is really craving an instant high right now. I'm on my last 30mg caffeine pill. Moving down to 20mg tomorrow. For those of you who are considering quitting caffeine, I highly recommend finding a way to gradually reduce your intake. Quitting cold turkey can definitely work, but when you PAIR that with trying to stay PMO free it compounds the urges. In short, it's just too drastic of a chemical change for your brain to handle. The urge to have SOMETHING that makes you feel good can become so overwhelming you'll likely end up binging on one behavior or the other. At the same time, everyone is different. Not everyone's brain operates the same way and not everyone experiences chemical change the same way. So, cold turkey might work for you. Just something to be aware of. If you DO want an incredibly easy way to reduce your caffeine intake, try Wean Caffeine. I've been using these and it has helped tremendously! It's not magic, you'll still feel discomfort and tired on some days, but the withdrawal symptoms are much less severe. I've found that while I may be uncomfortable on some days, I can still function fairly well, so I've been able to continue doing my job and take care of responsibilities at home. More importantly, I'm still mentally present and clear enough to fight the PMO urges and make better choices!!

For those of you that are noticing a connection between any kind of drug use (caffeine, alcohol, pot, etc.) I'm right there with you! I think a simple explanation is that while these are different behaviors and different chemical addictions, they all follow the same brain pathway of doing something that makes me feel good instantly without me having to do any real work (or be productive). In other words, they all follow the pattern of escape mentality. I believe that reinforcing one of these tends to reinforce the others. In the past I've observed that if I break my commitment to no caffeine, PMO will not be far behind.

Again, this is how things have worked out FOR ME. I'm sure not everyone is the same, so don't hear me saying that you're wrong to drink coffee or alcohol if that's what you do. Those things are fine if you can maintain a healthy relationship with them and they don't affect your PMO goals. My only two goals in saying this are 1) to write out my thoughts on the subject and 2) encourage you to be mindful of these factors and how they MIGHT be affecting your progress. I hope at least some of this was helpful to some of you!

I appreciate all of you going on this journey together!
