    9 MONTHS 4 DAYS NO PMO

    Everyone, IF you think you can't recover from PMO addiction - I get it. I thought this would be the case for me for years. I would typically hit 5 days and bail out. And binge. And die a little more. But I am happy to say that recovery is within reach for EVERYONE. If you're committed to it, it's possible.

    I continue to build virtue every day. My focus is far more internal, checking my integrity and value system. I have got to face God- and myself in the mirror every day.

    I think of the time that I save now - so much time was wasted with pornography. The pornography industry is a slow death for everyone involved. The women, the PMO addict, everyone. There is no love, only attempts at control. Death, pure and simple.

    I am reminded of the Matrix. I have unplugged.

    This is what worked and works for me.

    1. LIMIT TIME ONLINE. The internet is a bad neighborhood. Know where you're going. Take care of business and leave. If you hang out and wander, you're going to get mugged.

    2. GET TO KNOW THE EXECUTIVE FUNCTION OF YOUR BRAIN. This is the pre-frontal cortex. It's there to help you achieve greatness. When you speak mentally to the urge (the voice of the limbic system) - with authority , it will fall back in line. Example, "NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT, THIS IS NOT AN OPTION"

    3. COLD SHOWERS. I did 100 days last year. I started again back two weeks ago. This forces the pre-frontal cortex to speak against the limbic system. The voice of the limbic will say "don't do it. Stay comfortable" but the executive function must speak . I will actually face the shower head and say "I EAT COLD SHOWERS FOR LUNCH". Incredibly invigorating and a brain changer. (During the cooler months mix in a little hot water. It should be highly uncomfortable but not painful.)

    PRAYER
    I save the best for last. I pray an hour every day. I read the Bible, reflect. I know that this is the key game changer. I don't know what you believe but I know that God and his grace are as real.

    THIS IS WORTH IT!
    YOU ARE WORTH IT!

    GOD'S PEACE!!!

    Great, especially the part where you read, study the Bible and pray.

    Goa head, God is waiting you.

    You belong to him

    HAHAHA! I love this quote! I love those cold showers, I have picked up a good addiction in my journey to defeat this PMO addiction. After about 3 weeks of straight cold showers I tried a hot one to see how I felt... Didn't feel right and just cranked it all the way cold after a couple of minutes LOL.

    Great job friend, keep it up!! That is so awesome, 9 months is an accomplishment to be very proud of! Keep going my friend!!

    I'm glad that it helped.

    Don't give up. Every struggle is an opportunity its to set a new neuro-pathway. Especially when the urge is strong and get through it.
    PMO IS NOT AN OPTION
    PMO IS NOT NEEDED


    GOD'S PEACE!!!

    Yes. I used to think it was all about stopping urges - which can work - but, it's really about building up your ability to exercize your will under temptation. I had incredible results.

    GOD'S PEACE!
