I'm on day 7 and feeling very vulnerable. I stupidly looked at some triggers but managed to pull myself away with fairly minimal damage. Feeling strong temptations now and am home alone with internet access. I'm hoping that posting here are reading the replies will help me get through the day.
Heya! Way to go on managing to break away from the triggers! You've got an excellent streak going, you're fully capable of continuing it. Stay strong, stay busy and stay clean. You're doing great bro.
great job getting away from triggers... i break that circuit by screaming 10x I AM ADDICTED I MUST QUIT PORN COMPLETELY. I AM WORTHY. try it and see how you feel. Stay strong!
You could try watching something really eye opening about what's going on in the world. I was really tempted yesterday and I was online but then I watched this documentary "What A Way To Go: Life at the End of Empire" and after that I had waaaay more to think about then masturbating. I have found in this last week that reminding myself what's really important in the world is like dumping cold water onto my crotch.
Look at your counter, it's just 25 more hours to reach your goal. Don't give up now. I'm on day 9 at the moment, and I already feel some benefits kicking in.
Hey man. Stay strong. Be mindful that we are all in this thing together! And remember why you decided to stop fapping in the first place. C'mon man. You can do it!
Dammit! Thank you all for your support. It definitely helped but I ultimately relapsed. I'm not giving up though... time to start from square one. I'm determined to be more disciplined this time.
The most important thing, and one of the secrets to long term success, is that we forgive ourselves, forgive and carry on again. "You, yourself, as much as anything else in the universe, deserve your love and respect" (attributed) to The Buddha
You can do it, man. You are stronger than you know. Each moment you fight the urge is another brick on the wall you are building between yourself and PMO.
you got this man. keep trying no matter how many times you fall. get back up. in the end, we will ultimately get what we want. hopefully that will eventually be fap free!
