    Your strength doesn't come from techniques, it comes from within you. You have to find the resolve and tenacity.

    Day 125. Definitely feeling some urges today. I think it may be a chaser effect from some of the urges that I experienced over the weekend. I had a very intense wet dream, one of the most real wet dreams I have ever had. I woke up wondering if I had O. This forum has really helped to keep track of the urges I am experiencing and understand what is triggering them. Pushing through!

    well, my rule of thumb for that is: if the site has triggering materials, then you shouldn´t be there. is that simple.

    entering a site while tip toeing, afraid of stumbling across triggers is like walking in a mine field. and for the subconscious mind you´re fishing. to detect this trap ask yourself "is there any percentage of me that wants to stumble across sexy contents?", if the positive is "yes", even if it´s like 1%, then your fishing, and sooner or later you´re gonna be pulled under.

    it doesn´t matter if the site isn´t porn. it doesn´t matter if it´s a tv channel with bikini girls. if you´re close to sexy material, you´re fishing. be honest with yourself bro and stay away from those places. plus everytime you´re fighting a temptation you´re losing willpower, once you deplete all your willpower, the fish will grab the bait and it´s game over.

    Checking in Fellowship. Feeling good although brain fog has appeared again, oh well :(. at least i´m feeling much more peaceful and in a good mood :)

    Uruk-Hai today ;)

    The following members are well on their journey. Congratulations!!! :)

    @Thomas3 - Buckleberry Ferry / Shire
    @Revanthegrey - Bridge of Khazad-dûm / Moria
    @OttarrTheVendelCrow - Ithilien / Gondor

    A special wave of support to our brother @bob200 and @Themomentum which are struggling now. Rise my brothers, you can do it!

    My Fellowship, the other day a brother on a sub section posted a movie about semen retention. Yesterday i saw a part of it, and today i saw the rest in my work break. The movie is really really good!

    It revolves around the Jewish scriptures but the message is so clear that it can be understood by everybody. it talks about semen retention, masturbation, porn, deviant behaviours, etc, wonderful movie!! and i will probably watch it again ;)

    Here it is. Thank me later ;). Have a great day!!! :)

    I agree with you, just even if someone quits every triggering site,social app etc. there will be allways something to triggers you, mosty its really random.
    Most of us is trying to forget about porn, and not thinking about it is keeping us from failing, but when someone or something just little bit gives us remind of porn/sexual content, our brain will start thinking about it.
    Its just a mastery, to control our thoughts, and forget about it as soon as posible, because if its not handled it will be soon out of controll and in the end we fail.

    Day 9.
    It is funny, sometimes a feel a desire desire for porn, not a urge, but a felling similar to when seeing the blue sky and the infinite (the ones who read A Song of Ice and Fire will remember Tyrion at the Eyrie's prison) you feel the desire to jump, even though you don't have any suicidal thoughts, strange, maybe a deadly curiosity it is.

  17. Day 1 complete!

    Yesterday left me feeling very tired, both physically and emotionally. Monday is one of the days when I have time set aside to run, though, so this morning I pushed myself to wake up early and go out for a tough run. I'm so glad I did. It was almost symbolic, in a way. If I can recover from the reset, not allow myself to suffer the consequences, but to muscle through and really exercise my willpower, I have what I need to beat this.

    Relapsed a few days back and haven't been able to maintain a streak since then. Although I did go to my pastor this past Saturday and thru confession basically brought up the struggle I've been dealing with. Its definitely a weight off your shoulders to share what you're going thru with someone else.

    I'm feeling the need to ramp things up in terms of my recovery process. I've struggled the past weeks getting a long streak. My longest one in recent memory was prob 23 days. I'm going to look into getting a therapist, who can hopefully share their perspective on how to improve.

    Has anyone been in SAA before? If you have would u mind sharing what the process looks like to join?
