Day 8 checking in..... Feeling pretty good about myself in general which makes a change. Feel more alert and far less anxiety about work etc. Still had some pretty vivid dreams at the beginning of bed time last night but then managed to get a pretty decent sleep. Keep on going everyone and thanks for the moral support.
Wow I can't believe I'm on 190 days! There is hope for us all if I can go for this long without using P....keep going!!
Day 25. I've been having some strong urges the last few days. Having been this far before, I know it's par for the course. What I'm most impressed with is my mental dialogue. I've been simply telling myself, "Mark, you will only enjoy it momentarily. You will immediately feel guilty afterwards and vow to get back on track. Let's skip the feeling guilty part and just stay on track!" It's worked thus far!
Day 9 checking in..... Doing OK but really need to focus on getting to bed earlier when I'm tired.... Other than that feeling good and far less grumpy than usually. Keep it up everyone
Checking in. I have had a really good week. I finally made some changes on a few things, the main ones being nutrition and exercise. I joined the gym and have been going every day and I stopped eating crap. No problems on the PMO front, I am in the right frame of mind now. It has nothing for me, its just a trap. I don't want to be stuck in that trap any more. F that, it has taken so much from me over the years, I renounce it from my life.
Checking in. Had a great week. Had a bad start with 2 days I could barely work. But I recovered from that and could undo most of the damage. Had a great weekend also, Saturday I did a lot with the kids, trying to be a good dad. Today also had a great family day and a friend came to visit and we fixed an issue with the floor in the house together. Meditated and did workout every morning. I think I haven't had sex for over 2 months. But it doesn't really bother me. My wife and I have very different schedules and there is simply not a real moment we could do it. But so be it. So far I'm doing fine without it.
Day 11 check in..... I'm surprised I've made it this far and happy that I can turn my thoughts away from porn when they decide to drop by! Keeping up with regular exercise and meditation each morning for 10+ minutes are certainly helping me. Finding also getting some fresh air and sunshine each morning whilst supervising my cats as they do their thing helps to wake me up and I believe also helps me to set my body clock so I feel tired and go to bed earlier than before when I was PMOing. Good luck to everyone else and stay strong
