Back to Day 1

Just make it through today.

If all your dreams could come true by making it through only today, you could do it easily.

 

So im not the only one having a bad day. Been struggling with it since long now. Iv come to a point where everytime i relapse i say to myself iv lost it and it wont change but then there is a new day and i start all over again. But my triggers man those triggers. My biggest struggle is with these triggers. I relapsed today again after a 4 day streak and my trigger was so lame so freaking lame that now it scares me, would i ever be able to get back to normal. I can write so much on my situation now that im sure im going to bore the F out of all of u here . Anyways started back up again. Trying to stay gritty. If there could be a button which i need to press to erase all the porn and shutdown all the servers in the world forever, and to make it to that button even if it costed me my limbs and life i would go ahead and just do it with the thought that atleast someone else wont suffer from this wrath as i have.

 

I admire your honesty. Keep trying, just focus on the current day.

There will come a time when you won't struggle so much.

 

Yes, good thinking, because if you just build small for a while, you will make a foundation for yourself.

I had a lot of nights on this reboot where I was overwhelmed.
I had a lot of nights where I said, "ah heck man. I can't do it. I'm going to use."
I was certain that i was only going to get a few days.

But I said, "what if I force myself tonight to avoid PMO? I'm going to do that instead. I'm going to power my way to a reboot."
What I needed for power was in the water, in my landlocked city apartment:
a shark.
I drew a picture of a shark fin in the water. In big sharpie letters it reads:
POWER THROUGH

I think about how the shark responds to resistance or fear, he just charges right at it, kills it.

Every man has this potential, they just need to bring out the shark.
Because you are more powerful than PMO, no matter how strong the urge.

 

Trying

im trying dear. Been trying since 5 yrs now. Thx for the advice. I wish that day comes in my life before its too late. It will come i know. Reset and start !!

 

So true

 

If it was easy, it wouldn't have any value...

Maybe God's calling you up to train for the majors...?

 

This is a list of concrete tips you can actually start to apply on the subreddit r/pornfree on reddit

Best of luck. Cheering for you from afar.

 

lmk if I can help.

The next time you think you might relapse, stop what you are doing and come here.

 

193 Days man congrats

 

Don't feel bad, I relapsed recently. So we are both starting over. No big deal.
Our goal, on May 21, 2022 is to make it through the entire day.
We got this.

 

It was a huge streak, but I relapsed.

 

So you got it, we are a team here. Anybody else can join. No PMO today, wake up in the morning and we both got a day. Nice and clean.

Anyway, it's just today. We worry about tomorrow some other time. We need to focus on the thing that we can do with total success, which is today.
