The March Challenge.Post your experience here.

I will not be drawn any further into this. I do apologize for misunderstanding you, but I was not trying to demotivate anyone. If you thought I was, then you are guilty just the same. At this point, I'd rather build a bridge. Right now we are building a wall. I want to rid myself of this shameful habit as much as you do, so let's do it together.

 

It's all right. Don't think of this as beating an addiction. Think of it as taking a break. Addiction is 90% mental. You crave the substance or behavior because it feels good, not because it's something you need.

 

Good things should continue forever. So let's keep this journey on the right track. for March 2016 as well!

1. No P
2. No M
3. No P- or M-related O

 

When you feel the urge just put your dirty head in the water under the tap.
Hopefully it'll clean it ;-)

 

Let's do this! We will not waste any energy during this month!
Let's turn bad habits into good habits.
PMO is one of this bad habits, we can turn it into something good, something better, something usefull. We can replace it by actively working on our lives, working on our dreams, working on our future.
We can think big & dream big but we have to start small. We have to take baby steps to reach our goals. This month will be the first step.

 

I read it somewhere that the habits that are good for us are always hard to implement at the initial stage.. so guys if the urge comes try to remind yourself with this idea.. it might help you to counter the urges... Let us all not give up to the urges... Keep fighting guys.. we all can do this.

 

I request everyone here to please share any resource that you all find helpful to tackle pmo.. this will make the journey for all of us easier. Thanks in advance.

 

What's your point man ? You don't seem to have a problem with porn (or that's what you think). Are you thinking we are crazy? We're just community that is struggling and fighting something highly addictive. Of course you're aloud to have your opinion, but you posted your message in the wrong forum. P or M is a bad thing if overconsumed, but if you are able to consume it without having addiction problems, good for you, but just don't start bragging about it here. Anyways, enough of that.

I understand Eshaan cause he is having a hard time right now. I saw your counter reset. I feel sorry for you man But hey, keep up the fight, it happens to stumble but don't worry about it, get up and continue the March challenge.
I understand what you're going through and I am supporting you. Feb 28-29 and March 1st I had a difficult time with PMO. On the 28th I told myself: " OKAY, one last PMO before the next month starts " . Not only I have relapsed, but I also binged for three days in a row spending 3 hours / day on porn. I wouldn't stop regretting, I felt depressed, very anxious. Now it's been 4 days I'm already starting to feel much better. I did the meditation and it helped me relax. I suppose practicing meditation will help me manage my thoughts and when I have an urge, I will be able to throw away the thoughts much more easily.

Eeshan, don't worry about what happened, look at the future!..... and keep us updated !

Guys, if you want motivation, see my post "Terry Crews success story". It's about Terry Crews the actor telling us his "dirty little secret", admitting he used to be a porn addict. This man gave me a lot of motivation. Just watch his speech, and there are 2 other parts to watch.
