I can stay away. No pornography. No masturbation. No Edging. Going to take it day by day, and go for the rest of my life. A day at a time. I'm going to these meetings every so often, but I'm going to make it a more weekly habit. The only sex will be with my wife. I will filter my thoughts, and if I can't I will call an addiction hotline or call my wife. Day by day. Today is May 25, 2014.. I can stay away.
Today is day number two. My two triggers are being tired and being alone. I cannot eliminate them completely but I am putting up preventative measures.Such as occupying my time while I am alone with other activities such as reading a novel or playing video games. The being tired bit is just a matter of reestablishing a good sleep schedule.
Today is day number 3, I will be working the overnight shift tonight and plan on following my previous standards. If temptation comes I will call my wife, if she does not answer I am calling an addiction hotline. I will stay away.
Today is the fourth day of my abstinence and sobriety, I am so proud of myself. My wife is cheering me on. I was able to stay away all of last night despite being up over night last night and having access. I will continue to stay away
Today is day five. And I am still going strong Taking it the day at a time with these forum posts has helped it go by very smoothly.
Six days can you believe it!!! I went to an addiction recovery meeting today and was able to share my progress! Tomorrow will be a full week, so excited! WOOO!
8 days and still continue ing to keep strong. Really glad. I love these forums that I can turn to and express myself.
Unfortunately, this is not my first attempt. It is my newest attempt since joining nofap.org and it is working miracles for me. That with a weekly meeting I attend I am barely ever tempted as well Over 9 days and still going strong.
10 Days! I am so glad I made it this far. I'm going to keep going. Finding various ways to fill in my time. I'm using some of that extra time to make a video game of my own
Day 11. I woke up this evening starting with some H.A.L.T. issues (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) which I thought would be a bigger problem, I ate to get rid of the Hungry feeling. Angry and lonely for a few personal reasons which took some getting over, the food helped too. The tired feelings dissapated as I occupied my time and went on the forum. Now I'm good to face another day. I'm so glad I have this outlet to express myself on so I don't turn to my addiction.
Day 12. Almost saw porn. But had a feeling a bad ad would pop up when I was watching a regular tv show online. Put my hand up on the screen and clicked past the ad. Glad to say I didn't see anything. Wasn't even tempted to look just in case there was something. I'm so glad I had that spiritual/gut warning and that I followed it. Over 12 days and still going. WOOO!!!
Over 19 days, I am astounded. I need to post more often. This is the beat feeling to be free of PMO this long!
