100 days! Had a good week. Had an amazing no-distractions work week. Had a great weekend with the kids. Had sex with my wife for the first time in months! It wasn't that great to be honest I was so distanced from sex for so long. But it has made me more interested in sex again. So I have to be careful.
Checking in - had another reality check yesterday but staying strong. Have a good start to the week everyone.
@Max Chickens - Congratulations on your 90 days! You are now a member of the 90 Day Hall of Achievement! Keep up the good work.
Día 10. Después de mucho tiempo... Espero seguir así.. los días de semana me cuestan un poco más.. además problemas familiares..
Thanks!!!! I had a little slip up last night. Ive completed my 90 so ive got to think about what the next step is for me!
Ugh. Frustrated with myself.was in a zoom training almost all day , but an hour of it dud not apply to my job, but had to be in "attendance " anyways, so was bored and played on phone Slipped down the ol instashit rabbit hole and ended up browsing pormographic stuff for 30 minutes on phone until I caught myself.... at work is a first and rather alarming So back to day 0 Was making great progress at home
I agree Stress and anxiety are like the evil twins in the shining, beckoning me to the darkness of playing with porn Have tried many interventions from jumping jacks, meditation, reading, Journaling Seems like the urge keeps battering down the door until I succumb, they never seem to go away in 15 minutes like other people report Thoughts? Anything different you've tried?
Meditation is the best thing I have found to calm the brain. Or, when necessary, good old fashioned white-knuckling it. (Although I need to do a little more of that myself.)
I agree with @artifact that meditation has been the best remedy for me. I've learned to simply turn thoughts off for a while. That helps tremendously. If the urges are really strong, I will change my environment usually by taking a meditative walk. I also have developed my own little pep talk ritual. I will tell myself literally, "Mark, you're only going to feel guilty and then vow to get back on track. Let's skip the feeling guilty part and just stay on track." It's worked so far!!!
>100 days, but all of a sudden cravings are coming back. Stress, unable to concentrate, stomach aches, feeling down all the time. Ugh. It's been a while, but I've been here before. I just have to ride it out and hopefully things will be better afterwards.
