My Rules for Recovery

Having just relapsed I have decided to revise my rules for recovery and set them out here so that I can revisit them when I need reminding of my self imposed restrictions, I blurred the lines recently so hopefully this should help me keep on course and get clear on what it is I am trying (or not trying to do). I'm just doing this to sort my own head out really so this post may not be of any relevance to anyone else.... but if it does inspire you at all or you have your own personal rules that you want to post up on this thread then feel free.


The Rules

Violation of any of the following rules will incur an instant reset

No intentional viewing of pornography in any form or media
This includes..... video/movie, printed image and written word, models/celeb pics, underwear models, brochures and newspapers, glamour photo gallery links, fantasy images, personal photographs and facebook photos, plus any other image or video viewed purely for voyeurism, arousal and gratification. No visual edging.

No Masturbation
Bringing myself to orgasm solo with or without the use of porn is not permitted.
Edging..... intentional and gratifying stimulation of the penis shaft. Bringing myself to the edge of orgasm or prolonged stimulation (with or without the intent to orgasm) is not permitted.


What IS allowed....
Sex.... real sex with a real wife, mutual masturbation, anything goes.
Admiring the appearance of real life women.
Thinking about sex with real women (there's no thought crime here).
