  1. Day 9

    Still not feeling 100%, but well enough to work. Thankfully, even during all of that, I still didn't have any issues with urges or memories. In fact, thinking on it now, the memories are starting to become less frequent, probably due to it being 2 months porn free, and the times they do pop up, I don't have as much of a physical reaction to them. So despite the rough last couple of months, I think it might actually be paying off now.

    Day 61

    Very tired today, back at college which meant I was sitting down for most of the day. No urges, time for bed!

  9. Day 3 complete.

    I gave in to MO last Sunday morning, but since then the urges have been minimal. It makes me very proud and inspired to see guys who are making good progress, continually pushing themselves and overcoming their limits. At the same time, it makes me wonder why I can't do the same. I'm pretty good about staying clean for 8-9 days and then getting no farther. What's holding me back from being able to fight to my full capacity so I can overcome these sins? Something must be missing and I need to figure out what; otherwise I'll keep tripping up at the same point and never growing. I hope it's not a sign of subconscious despair, thinking ahead of time that it's hopeless and I shouldn't bother putting forth a 100% effort.

    St. Joseph, pray for us.

    Day 79 complete!

    It feels great to live another day without PM. I still have fantasies about my wife, but they are getting fewer.


    For me (when I was stuck in your position) the problem was fantasies. I wasn’t watching P in the real world, but I was creating it in my head. So you have to mortify the part of your sexuality that gives rise to the urges, by avoiding temptation in your head and outside of it. And you have to like not being in control of your urges, you have to like the power to say no to a sexy girl. But it’s just theory, you have to make it work on your own :D

    Maybe its a fear of changes, of dying of the old you to which you attached that holds you back. You want to eat your cake and still have it. Be like a seed that falls into soil and dies so that it can live.

    Come on bro , pluck the courage and leave the old behind, like Sam did. That's the only way.

    Hey guys Im back again ... was ashamed and quite depressed lately and couldnt reach more than 3/4 days.
    Now Im on day 3 - its was kinda dumb to not use this forum anymore for the reason to be ashamed of my (not so huge) progress. Progress is progress it wont matter in the end as long as I keep going tryin' and fightin'!

    hope you have a good day - stay strong!
    And let us pray for evryone who hasnt!

    Day 374 no PMO. Most of the day went well. Had a fight with my wife last night so my day ended badly. I’m ready to make today a good day. Good luck out there everyone.
