35 and Older Accountability Group

Oh no, so many young men in one place.. Hrrr its good that they're not my type of men

 

Day 4 checking in~ last time, i relapsed because i had cellphone near by. So this time I decided not to have cellular phone in my room at all when im going to sleep. I think its def helpful so far.

 

Hahaha thanks guys, I'll have these stuck in my head all day... Chariots of Fire is actually one of the many movies I've downloaded recently. @Dolittle, I use movies/TV shows as a reward.. (non-triggering, of course)

 

Very wise move. I also found it very helpful. I also left headphones outside room.

I noticed from the table that you are all near the 30 day mark. That is so great.

Just to share with you that when I reached 30 days for the first time I gave up because I was so happy with the achievement and thought I had gone far enough. That is a total lie and please don't fall for it. This time the 30-40 day period felt like very new territory and I felt unsteady for a while. But it became normal again once I got past 40. I encourage you guys to stick together. Wishing you all the best.

 

Checking in and doing well so far. This weekend was full of affection. I met some really nice persons and had a wonderful sexual encounter, wich gave me a bootst of confidence and energy (details would be inappropriate here). That's why I decided to change my goal to 90 days no-PM - whichw as m original goal, when I started this challenege.

 

Thanks brother! Appreciate the effort you have put in to keeping up with counter and making this group run so smoothly.

Its been super fun. Look forward to see all of us rock this whole year

 

Starting the challenge today (PMO). Managed nearly a month about 6 month ago but relapsed. I am now trying with the help of this forum. I am soon becoming a father and I frankly feel ashamed of using so much porn. I waste so much time on the stuff. I have a great life (wife, family, friends, work...) - but it could be so much better without porn! I am so short tempered, inattentive when I have a 'porn day'. I do it mostly out of boredom and I don't think I have a deep insight in how much porn changes me. I really felt amazing when I last abstained and would like to rekindle with the feeling. Also frankly I don't have a lot of secrets with my wife and would like to feel I can be more honest with her. Wish me luck!

 

Good for you man, I'm happy for you!

YES! Even though a month has almost passed, I keep saying to myself all the time.. 'It's 2019!' Such a good year dude. This is such a good year.

Stick with us. You'll go places! Don't give up, no matter how many times you relapse, and check in every day here. We are a solid group. It may be a while before you can get a spot on the leaderboard, but you can still join us in the postings, which is the more important thing.

 

Thanks!

 

Don't let this become you.

 

Day 29 is running. Feeling good, no urges! Thank you all for your support.

 

Daily check in, day 48! Approaching day 50! Had really low weekend but now I'm feeling better

 

Congrats dude! You rocked your goal! What will you do from this point onward?

How do you feel ? what did you learn from your journey about yourself?

 

Relapsed. I’ve been trying to figure out the trigger but it illudes me.

Anywho, back up.
