    180 days!
    If I could tell younger me that someday they'd be clean for 180 days, they'd probably laugh lol

    There's nothing like what I'm feeling right now. I feel so at peace. It takes a lot of effort but the result is worth it guys...
    I continue changing every day

  3. Day 46 of No PMO
    Really happy with my progress. Thanks everyone for your support.
    Hope everyone is having a great day. Keep improving.
     
  4. Hello!
    After 47 days of no masturbation (and almost 3 months of no porn) I relapsed with M again, and well the most fair thing to do is to reset the counter... I regret yeah, a lot. But I'm learning, and won't ever give up, that's the important!!!

    Besides, I'm not very sad because I didn't give in to porn. It's horrible, I don't want to come back, in two days I'll be 3 months free of porn and life since then has been way better and different... there are other more important parts to work on right now, and I'm so glad I was able to get rid of that addiction relatively quickly. I still need to be careful, but I'll make it through whatever it takes!

    Thanks for reading me and stay strong everyone!

    =====

    It is very easy with someone like "Wormtongue" in your mind to think high of yourself .. to think you are better than people .. to think you did it all by yourself .. to think "Oh I am over it .. I passed it .. I am safe from this addiction .. I am out .. Relax " .. then you need to remind yourself of facts to stay alert .. Wormtongue wants me to relax and to drop my guard .. to catch me .. oh no .. this is not happening .. there is this guy @WalktheLine who has a "yellow book" where he look at his past "screw-ups" for the last 20 years or so .. I guess I need some of that now .. I am an addict for 15 years .. or even more .. I screwed up many chances in my life .. I hurted my family members A LOT .. I made them cry out of despair .. I hurted myself .. body and soul .. I wasted money and effort .. I wasted the most precious thing .. time .. I wasted a lot of time .. I am over 30 .. there is no more time to waste .. no more .. life is short .. yes I am grateful I am here .. I am grateful to people around me who helped me .. I'm grateful for the people here who shared and are still sharing their sufferings everyday .. it is a strong reminder for me and all other people who are like me to stay alert and to have your guard on .. I am grateful that my regret is vanishing bit by bit .. I am grateful that diseases in the heart is fading away bit by bit .. I am grateful to be on this journey to explore my potential .. I am grateful to play a role in people's journeys around me .. but this is the talking .. and talking is not enough .. where is the "doing"? .. The "doing" of being grateful is to align my actions to these principles .. I can not be grateful if I relapse .. I can not be grateful if I gave in to this addiction .. I can not be grateful for the people here if I let them down .. I can not be grateful to my abilities if I do not use them .. and absolutely I can not be grateful to my time, if I do not use it wisely .. I will be grateful .. by talking .. and by doing ..

    Day zero after a good few weeks again.
    No more excuses now.
    My number one life goal is to never even think of masturbating or fantasizing about sex again in my life. Fuck that disgusting shit forever. I'm done.

    Day 59

    #total_new_habits = 8
    #days_of_new_habits = 30/40

    Haste, difficulties and whatever
    ====================


    One of the extra burden that comes with the addiction package is that there is a haste for everything to be done .. I want to finish things fast without thinking deeply about it .. I want to eat fast .. but I do not enjoy it .. and I do not almost taste .. I want to finish this project or that task fast .. and if it did not go as I wish just for a split of second, the probability that I will leave it and go for sth else is very high .. I stop enjoying challenges .. I see difficulties everywhere .. Difficulty in sleep .. difficulty in making food .. difficulty and burden in laying with wife .. difficulty in reading sth .. difficulty in receiving guests .. difficulty in visiting friends or going out with them .. difficulty in working on anything that needs a bit effort .. difficulty on working on long-term goals .. difficulty in tolerating someone's bad mood .. difficulty in listening to sb's problems .. difficulty in praising others for their effort .. agitated most of the time and at edge waiting to explode .. full focus on what I will gain no matter what is happening for others .. even my goals go to lower levels .. from being a "good" human according to my metrics .. to earning money in whatever way regardless of my principles .. to having more relationships with other women no matter the grave consequences will be .. I find myself embodying the word "whatever" in my actions and my words and replies to people .. I just try to feel "good" and "relaxed" all the time .. I focus on my emotions .. I serve them .. I really become a servant to my emotions .. what they want, I put effort to get .. because I can not take it when they are not "happy" .. but it is not hard to imagine that this is not a good way of living .. not deep .. not fulfilling .. even all the pleasures I got during these periods, they turn ashes .. they do not leave any good impact on my life .. they have even a bitter taste just few moments after which lasts for a long time and trigger regret .. which makes you want to go to sth else seeking pleasure to cover the pain of regret and to change that taste .. but it just gets bitter even more .. why to put myself through this road? .. why to lose my freedom to my emotions ? .. I am their master .. they are not mine ..

    That post made me really laugh! Thanks! Well, I guess yes you can consider me into all of these things although I am still doing poorly on being complete vegetarian. You can add to the list a complete addiction to books and courses. Though I am definitely not a fast reader or learner, I enjoy them a lot.

    I hope you are doing well in the other dimension ! :))

    You are not a puppet to your emotions. You are a master of your emotions.

    Stay strong brother and remember there's always help out there if you need it ☺️.

    I am also someone who suffers with exactly what you go through. But together in this group we can be stronger and in a team.

    I sought a psycho therapist / psychiatrist for many years and this helped me through my issues. My life has changed forever now and I feel great.

    Just a thought?

    Thank you for your support @Spreadlove

    Yes you are right, we are not puppets to our emotions. I am just reminding myself that this is what I go through when I relapse as a reminder and to silent that voice inside me.

    Yes I am much better with group. I love to read the posts and how people here deal with their challenges.

    I actually did once. I made her very angry :) . It is a problem I guess if the psychotherapist does not see that you have a problem. She could not diagnose me with anything, and she did not think that p addiction is sth to make such a fuss of. "All people do it" , she said. It is very personal journey and one need to stick to his own morale and principles because these are the ones that matters at the end of the day especially for the regulation of emotions. Still, I watched almost all the lectures for Prof. Jordan Peterson and he mixes his 20-years clinical practice as a psychologist with a high-level "deepness" and morale that align with my own.

    I hope you are doing well and that your life just keeps getting better !

    Day 60

    #total_new_habits = 8
    #days_of_new_habits = 31/40

    I would like to do sth different today .. perhaps you find it strange .. but I think I need it .. I want to ask all of you to become my witnesses for the following words .. you do not need to do anything .. you can read what I will write if you want and just say in your heart at the end (you do not need to write here anything): "I am a witness for what this guy has said" .. here is what I want you to be a witness for:

    I am grateful for every second of my life .. the good and the bad .. I am grateful for all the successes that have reached me as well as the failures .. I am grateful for my family .. I am grateful for my childhood .. all of it .. the good and the bad .. I am grateful that I am even writing all of this .. I am grateful for the challenges that have met me .. although I regret being an addict, I am very grateful for my journey .. the ups and the downs .. I am grateful for my body .. oh yes I am even grateful for the voice .. it makes me wants to get better to beat it .. I am grateful for all the people (digitally and face-to-face) in my life .. I am grateful for all the pain I saw in my life .. emotionally and physically .. it made me do good things to remove them .. I am grateful to the guilt, blame and all kinds of criticisms .. inside me and outside me .. I am grateful for being a human-being .. I am grateful for experiencing all of this as a human .. I am grateful that there are books .. I am grateful that there are thoughts .. I do not have anything to complain about .. the cup is not just full .. there is an ocean that wants to fill the cup and the cup can not take it and it is just overflowing in every moment .. the reality is .. the cup was never less than full ..
