Day 2/365. I feel good. I thank God for keeping me away from porn and lust today. I followed my protocol today by not bringing my phone in the bathroom and praying when tempted. I saw this TedX talk today and it also helped: Stay strong everyone.
Day 56 "There are two things a person should never be angry at, what they can help, and what they cannot." - Plato
Those feelings and urges are not fact, real and correct.

hi i start it on 26-09-2018. but i have a doubt, the night fall is occur at last night so, Should i need to start from day zero(0) or continue counting the progress(days)
Thanks! Yes no doubt I need a vision for my life. I need to develop a set of strong, congruent values too in line with this. I need to build on a solid foundation again and be consistent. Also try new things as you said.
Mindfulness is indeed fundamental. It is just that my anxiety makes this a little difficult to cultivate in practice. I stopped meditating a while back. I should resume
I found this piece of advice in the book Wack: Addicted to Porn by Noah Church this morning and I will start to apply it too: " Track. Monitor your progress, both subjectively and objectively. Subjectively, keep a journal in which you write your feelings, goals, experiences, temptations, etc. Be sure to take note of when you are victorious over temptation and what helps you do so. Objectively, mark days on a calendar or otherwise. If you are successfully abstaining, then each day marked off should add pride to your accomplishment and put another brick into the wall between your new life and your old one. If you relapse, though, then a counter can serve as a reminder of your failure and an excuse to binge after one reset. In this case merely tracking the length of a streak starts to do more harm than good, and you should instead or in addition keep a spreadsheet that counts each relapse, the nature of the relapse, and the stimuli you relapsed to. Add whatever other details you think will be useful to you. This spreadsheet method helps reinforce the fact that progress is not always all-or-nothing and that relapse is a setback but not a complete reset to your former self. After all, going from PMO every day or several times per week to just once or twice in a month is a huge step in the right direction. "
Day 5- Feeling much better today. I woke up at 6:30 am instead of the usual 8am and went through a series of morning rituals including affirmations, meditation and positive visualization.
All the best guys, I will be taking some time off. Thank you all for being here and all the conversations we had. May all rise and shine to their fullest potential.
Day 11, I’m starting to get out of my comfort zone in social situations. Cold showers might also be having an influence on that.
