I will try to update tomorrow, I will be on vacations for a couple of days after. Today was good, I was able to fight urges and withstand temptations. Stress is my number 1 trigger, so staying extra vigilant as stress comes and goes in unexpected ways these days...
Stay strong!

Congrats brother ,
I ended up slipping yesterday afternoon during 2 hours of alone time I hadnt planned for , unhealthy pornographic thinking and fantasizing, if not the actual stuff . But from personal experience to nip it in the bud before it becomes accessing porn I have to reset mentally and spiritually
So today's now day 1 again

Have been traveling with family and friends. Has been a very busy past 5 days. Which was great in some respects, but I ended extremly exhausted, as we had all day with the kids, sightseeing, having long lasting diners and few hours of sleep. No time for your mind to wander, BUT as I came back home, it was like seeking for a relief and get a good rest... so it was hard, very hard to fight that. I´m now back working and have a ton of email. I must stay strong and be prepared.
I went doing sport yesterday to cop with the worst urge, but I need to continue being vigilant.

Had a slip yesterday,... bad combination.
a) Slept terrible, plus my little one woke me up 2 hours early
b) Had to work on a saturday, no time to get prepared, 0 dopamine control and no space was left to have a minimum of guard up
c) We are in the finals for a project at work, so had incoming extra work,...
Reset to 0, today I planed.

Day 5. Had a good first 4 days, today I was a bit more struggeling,...it´s harder to keep those thoughts out of my brain. Hence making an update to the blog and after that find some distraction. Unfortunately stress has picked up again, got so much to do,... but hey, day 5 is here! It has been very clean 5 days and let´s continue like this!
Same. I slipped on Sunday and Monday. Sober since then.

Day 7 for me - one week. Was a very busy week, I tried to continue with my steps, seems to work for now. I had plenty of social events, more then usual, which helped to avoid tempting thoughts. Today I have to work and prepare stuff for next week, actually quiet stressed. I fully acknowledge that stress is my number one trigger, hence today I need to be extra vigilant.

Really struggling recently
Wife having severe health issues of an uncertain nature and getting run around from her doctors
Job uncertainty as I had an emotional breakdown while at work and was put on paid administrative leave
Just feel like shit and struggling with mental health and suicidal thoughts
First back to back days using since January:/

Hang on in there, all the things you mention are very tough but you can manage them. Just take it one day at a time!
I am on day 16 today, been okay so far but today was full of temptations. Managed to avoid them so far and it’s 8pm.

On day 7. I´m on a business trip this week, hence will not update. So far today was a good day, despite the stress of preparing for the travel and getting the work prepared... I also had a intimate moment with my wife yesterday and was expecting some heavier chase effect, it stayed fairly manageable. Let´s see tomorrow.
