    Hey Guys,

    I was floating this idea on my journey - when IGY suggested I move it to this thread:

    I'm curious as what your found to do with all your new found spare time. I mean if your anything like Me you used to spend hours looking for porn or watching it, to my shame i can remember whole days when I had stuff I needed to do but just lost myself in a haze of porn. I used to sit on my butt for hours and mindlessly watch a screen and jerk off. It's pretty sad really to think I can rationally see how Pathetic it was and to be honest part of me want to go right back there, but I'm not I really starting to enjoy life on the other side, and I want to spend more time here. So here the question what have you found your self doing with your new free time?

    I been watching streaming on my laptop mainly because My free time is after work and I get home around 8pm most nights so there's not a how lot else to do but i read a stack or stuff. but in my days off I'm really looking forward to getting back into my passions I've neglected because porn took over any my penis because all encompassing (but I've told him to shove over) I love photography I have a few different camera and and living Sydney which is a great place to take photos I'm planning on honing my skills and getting better at telling stories through my camera lens. I'd be interested to hear from you guys and girls what you're planning on investing your lives into as we together walk towards freedom.

    Joe.

    That's a great question. Though I'm only three weeks in I can certainly say for sure I've found my time during the days is more open and widespread. For example, everysooften I used to spend hours looking at porn. I think my max time would have been about between half hour to two hours a day. Pretty sad in hindsight, I know. Especially on not realising for so long how much this time wasted on porn and masturbation was draining my energy and causing all kinds of problems that for the most part I don't think we're even aware of.

    Anyway, my new free time is spent mostly working on me. I'll exercise, read, do a bit of heavy writing every now and again, work on some drawings, grab a film to watch, and listen to a lot music. And coming on here of course. As the other user said also, meeting and mixing with people. Just getting out the house. There is much I am doing and will do.

    Relish this newly found time.

    Pursue your wildest dreams :) Something you always wanted to do since you were a little kid. Something simple and honest. It could be something like going for jogging, coming back home and making a fruit juice and drinking it.

    Hey. I had been known (just a figure of speech, it was private) to spend up to three hours a day at PMO.
    Yoga, meditation, reading books I was always going to get to, contacting friends I was ignoring, cooking and baking, cleaning house. These are all things within easy reach, that one can do in about the same time slot as a JO session. I think that is important. We can have big dreams, and we will have more energy, but starting small and working up is an easy path to success.

    I'm currently studying and doing a part time job. So I have been quite busy.

    Wow I've been to Sydney this year and I really liked the place, possibly one of my best travels so far :)
    Now that you mention it seems all so correct. While indulging in my fantasy world it seemed as though I was doing a lot but in fact I was sitting on my bed for hours practically just moving my arms.. Now that I think about it it all seems so surreal and fake though I was in the act just a few days ago lol.

    I spend most of my time studying currently. I really want to get good grades since it is a crucial period and I can't afford much leisure (yet!). I consider studying to be self improvement so it is still worthwhile. After my exams I intend to focus more on spending time with my family and improve on my social life. Work on my hobbies like playing guitar. :)
