    Hello to all.
    This idea came to my mind and hence though of sharing it with you all.

    It has been happening with me that I keep myself away from PMO but after certain days I relapsed. The culprit was the 'New Folder' on my personal computer in which I had saved a collection of my favorite P videos.

    It was tough for me to delete the collection of favorite videos I made over past few months.
    But you have to let go something in order to achieve something.

    So just few minutes ago, i selected that so called 'New Folder' and hit the Shift+Delete button. The initial feeling was don't do it but without any second thought I did it.

    Enough of it. No more of those videos in my PC.

    Encouraging all fellow Fapstronauts to delete those videos and images from their PCs, Tablets and Smartphones and confess the same on this thread. The videos may be your all time favorites. But it's time to put an end to it.
    You are free to post your experiences.

    Feed the white wolf.

  2. i found a usb stick the other week and a full porn film was on it when i plugged it in. I paused, smiled and said, "I don't need that anymore". Then deleted it.

    i've always been too afraid to save files- i always thought, "what if I die and my mom or my sister would find it?"

    I know this feeling well. Deleting that treasured stash is one of the hardest initial steps to take. There's that sinking feeling in your heart as you watch the progress bar delete months and in some cases years worth of combing through the web. It is a necessary step otherwise your collection becomes a 'safety net'. 'If I ever relapse at least I'll have it'.

    That was my thinking but after a moment I took the plunge and let it all go. It's liberating mentally to release the grip that ones and zeros have on me and the hdd space! I was amazed.

    Good Job Donut_Tai. Congrats for winning the challenge. Whether to delete or not is a tough decision to make.
    But Yes, the feeling after deleting is amazing. You feel like you overcame your attachment and mastered your senses.

    I found that the most difficult part of my journey so far. 51 days for me, and it took me until last week to delete every porn video off my system.

    You are indeed going super.

    It is indeed difficult overcoming your desire to hold on to those videos.
