Day 27/30. Struggled yesterday. Looked at a friend's pictures on social media of which some are in a swimsuit. Not for lust but more just to see her pictures, but also partially lustful, I don't know, I guess both. I just know I need to let go of social media. Just started doing disconnecting behavior. But I got honest. Told my sponsor, and felt much better. It's amazing I start to feel strong, but that's when I'm weak. I am strong when I know I am weak.
Day 3 of 30 I'm starting to think of this as less of a challenge and more of a lifestyle. The urges do pop up from time to time, but I'm learning that a life of PMO is not the life for me
Wow, 16 days! I feel very encouraged. Glad this site is here for us. Making a commitment like this really helps. This week I had a little bit of temptation to think about sex, imagine lustful scenarios and recall scenes from past porn viewing episodes. Didn't dwell on it long, but enough to remember that I did it. It seems that when I stop PMO, it's easy for me at first, but then my body starts to build up the urges again and it becomes more challenging. This is the time to catch those thoughts and share them, so they don't become normalized. Catch & kill the thoughts that could lead you back to what you are healing from. Eventually they will return less and less often and it will be easier.
Day 15! Nofap brings me so much happiness, let the beautiful dreams and memories turn into momentum so that I can kill the urge as soon as it appears! Fight Porn! Fight lust! Fight Masturbation! Fight for love, kindness, happiness and everything else that are meaningful! I must win this challenge.
