    I have to kill this addiction.
    It's gotten to the point where I don't even feel satisfaction when I achieve my goals. But when try to quit, I lose motivation to do anything, Like I'm in a cavern, Groping around in the darkness, Life feels dull, And the temptation is to return to the swamp where I started...
    I guess I'll focus on that small light in the distance until I get out of the cave and see what beauty I've been missing.
    My journey begins today.

    Have you attempted/had a streak of no PMO days yet?

    I found it a little easier to talk to women.

    Well there you go. If you felt that then I'm sure you felt other improvements even if they were small. I'm new to this I'm just trying to help others perspectives while trying to hold onto my own.

    I see. Thanks for looking out for me, Sometimes my perspective does lean a little to far to the negative side of things. It's something l'll try to work on.

    This is huge, man. You recognize the effect PMO has had on your life.

    Life is amazing and fulfilling--but you have to eradicate PMO from your life to experience it. Sounds like you're well on your way.

    Get some filters or blocks, and make technology your ally instead of your enemy. Recruit a couple of amazing accountability partners who won't be afraid to ask you hard questions. Start taking the initiative to do productive, positive things in place of PMO, and you'll "be amazed before you are halfway through" (as they say in SAA meeings).
