7 Days of Sweet Victory

So to celebrate my first week of no PMO I wanted to write another thread!

It's been so long since I have been able to abstain from PMO for a week and it has made me super thrilled. Even though it's only been one week, I feel a debt of gratitude towards this community. Reading the success stories, advice threads, and just being able to report in a daily status how I did today has helped me a lot. Seeing my counter go up and up makes me feel very accomplished and I don't want to stop going! I'm pretty big into games, and this site has almost made it feel like I'm playing a game, "leveling up" as I continue to do good.

I won't say it was easy fulfilling this first week of the hard 90. Last night was very hard for me. It took a lot of will to resist. I even a one point had to talk to myself out loud. I said something to the effect "I know you want to, but don't do it because you want to make yourself happy, your family happy, have a better, more fulfilled life. Don't do it." and I repeated that a few times. It seems like when you are PMOing your mind leaves reality for a bit so repeating that to myself seemed to really help keep my mind grounded.

So here's to the first 7 days of sweet victory! *cheers*
