If the best can't do it, can I?

Yes the bat of us suffer relapses. I love had one after. 70+ day streak. Was jerking like a damn monkey in the zoo for days. It happens because porn is damn addictive and addictions are tough to beat.

However, you have to drop that defeatist bullshit. You got knocked down, not out of the fight. Pick yourself up from the mat, go to your corner and regroup. Come back swinging. 44 days of no PMO is nothing to scoff at.

Tweak your browser so you won't see porn. Dial up your "content" settings. Disable image loads. Better yet, load K9 software or something similar. You have to take steps to help yourself. Porn ain't going anywhere so you've got to keep it off your devices as best you can.

 

I am the best.

 

I try my very best to stay off of reddit. That place has some demons hidden away

 

Amen to that.

 

Reddit, Kik and Snapchat are my off limit social media stuff.

 

Of course you can.

You know, after 90 days, some of which were pretty difficult, I'd have to say that the sustaining force, the drive, was the underlying reason I made it this far. It matters so much to me to stop doing something that is hurtful to the person I love and will most certainly destroy my relationship with her. This leads to the fear which sends a chill to my bones that if I do not correct this I will end up in a very sad state and most likely alone for the better part, and certainly the end of my life. I have also watched as my son reached 2 years of sobriety from opioid addiction.

How could I not do this? How could I stand before my partner or my son and tell them it was just too difficult, or that I didn't care enough, or that it didn't matter enough.

For me, it is all about the importance of the reasons for doing it, and a very real fear of failing at it.

If you don't have a person in your life you are doing it for other than yourself, if you don't have anyone other than yourself to whom you would not want to admit failure, perhaps it is enough of a reason to do it that you want to have a meaningful relationship with someone else, share yourself and your life and not, ultimately, be alone in this world, and instead be the strongest most powerful, confident, and successful person you can be. You need this. And you need to respect yourself.

Strange how it is that age makes it a little easier, because there do not seem to be as many do-overs possible. Not as many more chances to get it right. I do not mean to be dark, but please believe me - you will be at this point sooner than you think. You will not want to be past the point of your life's greatest potential and a seemingly infinite future, addicted to porn and masturbating yourself into a life of few choices, deep loneliness, and regret.

Life goes by in a flash. Fix your problems now.

 

I've been PMO free since Dec 2014 buddy, so you can do it! heck if i can do it anyone can. I was an absolute mess back in the day

 

My goal is to be fap free, but to have relations with my wife, if or when things get back to normal for me I won't have any reason to fap.
