It begins

Hello everyone here! I've decided today to make a change. A change that I've been wanting to make for a long time. I am going to quit this habbit of mine. I will do it, and it starts today.

I've been alone for a long time now. I decided that I was not going to have sex until marriage. I am now 21 years old. I'm the type of person who doesn't socialize that much and finds it easier to be comfortable when I'm alone watching tv or playing games and such.

The problem I find with this is it is really easy to get distracted when you spend a lot of time alone and get bored. I feel like this is my main issue. I'm also not sure how I will fix this, but I know it needs to change. The amount of time I spend with other people can't change, but I know I can find something better to do when I am alone.

This is my theory so far. I signed up for a gym membership and bought healthier food. I think that if I try and focus on my health, it will be a good distraction away from getting bored and lonely.

Regardless, it is day zero. I am determined to make this change. I hope that I can stay focused on this goal. I need to stay focused on this goal. I want to change.

If there are any people reading that have any suggestions for me on what you think of my plan here, or any other ideas, it would be much appriciated. Also, any help on what to write on this forum would be great. I'm exceptionally new to this.

Thanks

 

Hey, look at what I found on the how-to page. Haha. Nice helpful lis of things to add here to my origional post.

• Your gender - Male

• Your age - 21

• How long you have been using porn - I have been PMOing irregularly since I was 16 years old.

• The impact pornography use has had on your life - generally negative, I have felt awful every single time afterwards, and obvously regularly feeling awful is not good. Also, it has affected my two relationships in the past in a negative way.

• Why you have decided to quit using porn - I believe that it is wrong. I am also completly wanting to stop. I don't want this to affect my relationship with my future wife.

• Your chosen rebooting parameters - I will start with the goal of not using PMO for 90 days. I think this is a good starting spot.

• When you started or plan to start your reboot and how many days you have in your current streak (if it is day 0 for you, that’s fine!) - Tonight. Tonight is the night.

 

Day one is coming to an end and I feel like I am in control. I feel as if I have a handle on things. PMO crossed my mind 3 times today and I shut it down successfully. I think I can do this. I know it will become harder to stay on track, but this day is good. I can do this.

 

Day nine. It kinda feels strange to know that I've been on track for more than a week now. I think focusing on fitness has help a lot. It keeps me busy. I am definitely not the fitness type, but it helps. Day 10 is just around the corner and I am excited. I really struggled on day 6. I didn't have much to do and had the day open. That was not good for me. Temptation was everywhere. Igot through it though. I installed a new video game and played that for the folowing hours. I know I am far from posting regulary, but I am very glad to know that I can and that people are here. Thank you all.
