    Day 7

    A week in...

    I got to the chapter in "The Brain That Changes Itself" I mainly wanted to get to and it made me think. I had a very emotionally walled off and unavailable mother with borderline personality disorder and I tend to most lust after women that kinda fit this description and most respond to situations similar to what my dynamic with my mom would have been like. The more disposable they treat me the better, even though I hate the feeling. I was already aware of this, but it hit me in a new way I think.

    I started taking these new pills today and I should try to take them around the same time daily, plus I let my sleeping pattern go again so if I take them in the morning that's a good excuse to fix it. I got these DHT blockers which should help with this problem of my hair falling out, but a lot of people do claim to get bad side effects so I'm keeping an eye. I've heard they aren't as common or as bad as people on the internet make it out to be though.

    Day 32 :emoji_pray:
    It's really funny and confusing how urges can be strong... But no matter what the mind wants convince us to do, WE make the choice.

    Day 9!
    Big urges yestarday, something that affects me was that a girl I met before, wrote me to see us (just for sex) but is in other state so I'm not going. Other thing is I went to the supermarket and I saw a very beatiful girl, I wanted to talk her becouse she was looking me, but I didn't do it. I controled myself focusing in my goals and reading a little bit.

    Today a feel better, worked out (went for a long run of 13 Km) and will hang out with a friend, so looks like will be a good day.

    Keep strong my brothers.

    Fellow travelers to Mount Doom, the Precious wants me to put on the ring while I am resting or sleeping. What is your strategy or advice if relapsing is mostly in your bed before sleep or morning before you are fully awake?

    I want to protect myself from the ring. I cannot afford to put it on and let it take over my mind. I need to destroy it!

    Today, I plan to go use the gym hot tub and pool. Its my favorite thing to do right now and can be very calming. Need to look for another job, but its Saturday so not much pressure. Yesterday saw some friends and had a good night out.

    Day 4. Urges were pretty strong today. Managed to find and commit to other activities. Feeling very exhausted and want to nothing but go to sleep at this point.

    Hello guys. It's been a few months. Hope you're all doing ok.
    I am still addicted to porn, and it has a negative impact on my life and I cannot do this alone.

    Day 155

    I let myself down today, I searched for a girl I knew on Instagram knowing that she would likely be wearing very little. While I did not relapse, I was certainly fishing - I’m more annoyed with myself as I had little to no intention of going ahead with PMO, but now because of this one mistake I’ve been suffering from the chaser effect all day.

    It’s this sort of behaviour that can lead to PMO and a relapse; I feel as if I’ve been toying with the ring, indulging the temptation of what it would feel like to feel it’s effect again. I have no intention of letting it gain any more power over me though, as it has none. I continue my journey in the knowledge that I must be in my guard at all times, and not to let evil have even a second thought.
