Thank you so much EndPornLiveLife. Good to understand those scientific reasons behind excess porn use. I actually also persuaded my friend (we discussed quitting years ago but both failed) to try to give it up again and he is on Day 6 now. All the best!
Day 41 checking in... Sexual energy may be the most powerful form of energy. Love for all of you fighting to check this energy for a better tomorrow.
Checking in. Haven't been on here in a few days but I'm back, still clean, and chasing victory. This is the way! All the best @Titu. Persistence will pay off You're most welcome. Hah, good work! I like your journal btw.
Day 45.. reached half way.. but i'm having strong urge today... not sure if i'll be strong enough to survive.
Day 59 check in. I just realised that I'm now eligible for the Day 50 Flame-Thrower & Armored Boots! Sweet! I no longer need a campfire for some sweet sweet toasted marshmallows... plus, you know, the whole "vanquishing my enemies" is a nice bonus And tomorrow, another weapon in my arsenal...
I'm okay ,it seems..surviving.. though literally going through a storm.. I remind myself about this challenge i'm in, then stare at the "what if" sticker on my wall to make me excited about the better days to come plus I've added a day counter widget on my phone as you advised ,which is helpful to see my progress. Day 49
Hey Guys, I'm going to have to reset after nearly 70 days clean (my counter is slightly inaccurate). Things were going well but I allowed myself to stray from the path. I think I need to put aside some time each day for prayer/study/meditation in the same way I do for working out.
Day 50 I cant call myself free even after completing 50 days. Urges seems like a black hole which persuades me with all its power. One thing it tells me is that "Dude you've completed 50 days, great, that's enough, just one time.. it wont cause any havoc.. take another 50 days after this, that'll do".... Holy crap... "one last time" seems to be the slogan of this demon monkey trying to pull me to the shallow abyss of addiction.... I'm an addict.. I've been trying to get over porn addiction for the last two years.. I've survived 50 days in a row without pmo.. still i believe that i'm an addict.. and I dont want to be... I want to stay strong... This is the wayy..
Checking in Sorry to hear that @Wenceslaus935. You'll get back up, I know you will! As for the prayer/study/meditation - I can recommend it Plenty of benefits aside from NoFap too. I've only been doing meditation for a couple of months, and I already feel it's making a big difference. This sounds tough mate. My nudge to you is: Keep reminding yourself of the challenge, of the why you want to quit, what you're aiming for, who you're aiming to be. Picture it. Know it. I'm glad you're finding the day counter on your phone helpful. And yeah, 50 days aint enough to call ourselves free hey...I wonder if we're like alcoholics: once an addict, always an addict, even after being "sober" for years. I actually think this is the right way to be, to ensure we keep our guards up against things that could lead us to destructive activities.
