9/90 today. Some days are easier than others. We must build an inner resilience to get us through the tough times. Keep going, friends!
Yes it's amazing how our brains will start coming up with these goofy arguments just to try and get its little dopamine hit. There was actually a funny but truthful thread on here awhile back where folks listed such sayings - they're quite common I think. What I believe we have to do is just be wise to what's really going on, and to not take such thoughts seriously. It helps knowing that if you just kind of laugh them off, they'll dissipate in time, and your deeper-down, more grounded thoughts will come right back. Stick with your streak, buddy, you're doing awesome.
That's so recognisable. Sadly, I have yet to reach that point far on in the process and get over it. But this time I will.
44/90.. I'll be past the halfway mark on Saturday! Up until now I've had urges but it's been fairly easy to withstand them. I think it is in large part due to a mindset shift that I've experienced, helped a lot by Mark Queppet's material. Whenever I feel an urge, I get thoughts like "PMO is pathetic, I don't want to go back to that", "that's not me anymore", "I am going to have great experiences with real women in stead of staying at home jerking off". I just have this feeling that at the end of these 90 days, a fulfilling real world love life awaits.. One big hint that points in this direction, is that I am starting to feel more attraction towards the women I encounter in every day life. It's making me realize that those feelings had pretty much fizzled out during the past years, due to me falling further and further down the PMO rabbit hole.
5 days done. Just need to get one more, hope to just do what I need to do today to stay away from pmo. Just today, that’s it. It’s not worth it today. Maybe tomorrow, but not today. Right here, right now is where we live our lives. Pmo thoughts are simply memory, they are not real.
Day 35/90..yesterday was a pretty tough . Too many interactions. Need to put back the scale down a bit .
it is!! hold on, let's keep on moving on, might fall but let's not give up on our streak! fighting!!!!
It was a nice post and I smiled while reading it.. Didnt at all sound like bragging. Sounds like your enjoying the ride ...or at least parts of it.
I was feeling an attraction to view porn but spent about 20 minutes reading what others posted and the urge passed.I didnt even notice it had passed but just kind of forgot about it and then remembered I had earlier had it. Another day. One day at a time.
