35 and Older Accountability Group

Overcame some serious temptations today.

 

Day 24

 

Reset..again. Looked at explicit pictures of the wife and fapped to erotic audio. I messed up. But thats ok, mistakes are ok, I must learn from them. I deleted the picks of the wife and blocked audible after 5 and limited time frames to 25 minutes at a time.

I have read the rules and would like to join this group
Work 3rd shift and need all the help I can get.

 

Checking In Day 17, yay!

 

Checking in. Strong temptations recently due to some unexpected triggers. Trying to cope as best as possible. Realized I still have a lot to go with my personal issues. It's disappointing after being at this for most of the year. At the very least, I have a better understanding of what needs to be addressed.

Stay strong, gentlemen, and never give up.

 

still going strong...

 

Not going particularly strong......but always learning.

 

Bad reset today.

After something like this, I'm tempted to say "the day is ruined" (which could be an excuse to use again) or "I'm failing." I have to remind myself that 1. there's still time to make today a good day, in spite of my mistakes and 2. the only real failure is giving up. Looking back over my journal, I've also realized that my average time between resets is getting longer; 6-7 days instead of 3-4 days a few months ago. So that's a small victory.

 

Checking in....taking each day at a time!

 

Been really stressed and tried to ignore reality any way possible. Reset. Need to interrupt that when I see it.

 

Day 28 and doing well.

In a recovery program for porn addicts, I learned about the most prevalent triggers:

B - Bored
L - Lonely
A - Anxious
S - Stressed
S - Self-Doubting
T - Ticked-off
E - Exhausted
D - Depressed

What I also learned is that when urges come, it's up to me to identify the triggers in order plan a counterattack. This has helped me greatly and I hope it does for you, as well.

 

Keep strong bro, that was yet again another fantastic run you put together, I have a feeling very soon you're going to push through that 30day barrier and beyond. Well done

 

NICEDUDE you're doing amazing, crazy numbers!

Feel proud of yourself each and everyday.

Well done to you as well !

Day 30. Yay me!!!
