    I am at day 21 today. I am not going to lie I have felt intense urges. I cant stop thinking of this waitress we had yesterday and how I wanted to ask for her number even though I am married... but I can feel the fight happening inside of me and the desire to do good is feeling stronger... although I know it can be even stronger

    Good to see you're fighting the urges but that think about wanting to ask the number of the waitress is a giant red flag... There's nothing wrong about thinking stuff but acting on them is another story.

    Congrats on the 21 days by the way!

    Well done for reaching Day 21!

    You will almost always see someone who catches your eye, especially when your married. That is life. The main thing you need to do now is keep those thoughts at bay, put them in a box in your mind and kick it away.

    Pro/No pmo is a bit like documents on a computer. The longer a document is left, the further in the past it goes, and the more it is forgotten/left behind/no longer something that’s of importance to you. That is what no pmo does the longer it is in place, it makes porn a smaller/non-existent place in your life. It is just a case of not letting it affect you, managing the urges, which may be a factor throughout life. It is just remembering why you quit in the first place to always stop the urges. Good luck :)

    I recognize this waitress thing. Today in a train station I saw this beautiful lady that was smiling at me when our eyes met. I smiled back and immediately starting to wonder how it would be like if I would try to get in contact with her and start to get to know each other...
    I resisted however, and the train ride afterwards made me forget about her.
    Afterwards I always realize how stupid it would have been to waste time on this, (and take risks, I am also married)...
    Overcoming these urges will be a challenge for me too...
    Thanks for sharing, useful to read.

    It's a struggle every day. I'm glad you were able to reject the urges.
    It's scary how stupid our brains can be. It's TRUE when the say the heart is treacherous
