DAY 0

Hello,
I've been trying to quit PMO for almost 2 years now and finally deciding to write about it. 2 years sounds like a long time but I've only really been trying for maybe a few months out of those 2 years. I've been able to hit milestones like 30 and 60 days several times but I always crack before hitting 90. I am hoping that this time I'll be able to hit 90 days and go even beyond. I've been browsing the forums for a while now and decided to finally start posting on here and develop a thread where we can all support each other and give each other useful tips. Today I broke my streak of 14 days and it really had a negative impact on me as I thought this time I would quit for good.

When I reflect on what went wrong it is very clear to me how all relapses begin. It all begins with one trigger and the lack of discipline to catch these triggers early. The rest is like dominoes; it feels impossible to stop the cycle. This time I will utilize this journal and list any triggers that I encounter daily to increase my consciousness and hopefully it will help you guys out too. I was demoralized after relapsing but now I am feeling hopeful and I am hoping that this will be the beginning of my success story

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"

Let's take that step!
 
what are you looking forward to in life?
there is a lot of advice on these threads about particular actions to take to help overcome the obsession
but we also need to look at the big picture....
where is my life going?
what do I truly believe?
am I pursuing my destiny?
am I on the hero's journey conquering dragons and overcoming personal obstacles to true freedom?
what is true freedom? Not fearing a fucking thing! .....that's freedom
 
Good luck and power to you! Remember to never give up on what you want and keep treading your path no matter what. Be the kind of person you want to be no matter what anyone else says! Don't stop chasing your dreams until they come true! When something doesn't work out try something else, keep changing it up to see what works for you too and don't look back

Loving the energy! Thanks for the motivational response. I'm in a good place in my life thank god and I just need to stop PMO. Like I mentioned it's been two years and I've worked on it to the point where it's not a severe addiction anymore but I just can't shake it.

DAY 1

Had a nice day today, woke up early and went to the gym and got my uni work done. Worked on some hobbies and played some video games. I got a bit irritable but I think that's because I didn't sleep enough lol. I started reading a book on quitting PMO as when I started my longest streak I found that it helped me a lot. It's a good read I'll post the link if anyone wants to check it out: https://docs.google.com/document/d/...2nf1KSUDgau2oa6nk/edit#heading=h.8shdtndzifbq

Aside from thoughts I had while reading the book I didn't think much about PMO or have any urges. Hope tomorrow goes well too for all of us :)
