Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Maybe having maintained a streak through that time, but I wouldn't be counting. Maybe there's a long term relationship romantically, but definitely with friends. Some of which will be ones I make now, maybe from here or elsewhere, maybe around this addiction or something else, but we would have enough of other things in common where we're not talking about this all the time even if we still come here or go to meetings or whatever.

There would be a deep sense of peace, which I've experienced before. Kind of like the beach photo you have in the profile actually, to really enjoy something like that.

That's it. But I think that's a lot.

 

I actually know one guy in person who is doing this now. He straight up owned it in a face to face meeting that wasn't even about sex addiction but just a general recovery meeting so we knew from day one.

 

Where i see myself in 5 years,

Hopefully with my degree in electrical engineering with a good job and a healthy relationship.

Realistically somewhere getting bat shit drunk and smoking enough sigarettes to burn a hole in the ozone layer because i screwed up again.

 

Either serving in the military or with a computer science degree - maybe both. In a good relationship, thinking about having kids. Want to have run an ultra-marathon by then too. Perhaps most importantly, 5 years and 3 days porn free.

 

Honestly I'm not sure. I don't really know what I want out of life yet, and it gets to me quite a bit. But I know that 5 years down the line, I'll be 5 years sober from PMO.

 

Always was an impossible question for me. For the past 15 years I've asked myself this kind of question from time to time, but never once had I an idea of an answer. As a consequence, my life hasn't changed much in that time. What bothers me is that it becomes more and more painful to think about it and find no answer, with the realization that I've not gone anywhere in the past.

 

Thank you, that's helpful. You may be right in that I have a hard time acknowledging my achievements or just my journey.

 

Hopefully with a girlfriend, job/business, graduated, pursuing mu dreams and no porn for 5 years jaja

 

Bigger shoulders, bigger lats, bigger traps, bigger bank account, and more partners

 

You're not preachy at all! No matter what our difficulties are in life, it always feels good to have some support and I'm very appreciative of it!
