Smart Phones

That is really awesome that you don't use a smartphone. I don't think most people would have the courage to do that, so good for you! May I ask what kind of phone you use instead? Just a simple flip or something like that?

 

Well let me ask you. I have an AP and and Accountability Group. I use Telegram for it. Does Telegram work on that kind phone? It's an app. They really do help me and I wouldn't want to just leave the group.

 

Oh course man. So I am going hard mode. I think that is the phrase for no porn, masturbation or orgasm. I want to achieve hard mode for at least 90 days (the scientific amount of time to reset your brain). Obviously I want to never PMO again, but "baby steps" as the saying goes. So far my longest amount of time has only been 16 days, but recently, because of my accountability group and partners I have had a renewed sense of determination.

And if by goals you mean more of "increased energy" or "end PIED" or something, then I'll state those too.

-First off, the main reason I'm doing this (my main goal) is an increased spiritual life. I find that, when I don't PMO my relationship with God improves/my prayer life improves. Not to mention the fact that it is a mortal sin in the Catholic Church.
-Less sex-centric view of the world. I have noticed I view the world through "sexual lenses". I don't like seeing people (or things) simply as sex instruments
-Don't like feeling addicted to something. I've never been addicted to anything. Never really drank, never smoked cigarettes, drugs, nothing. I hate this helpless feeling like I can't stop. Not really sure that is a "goal", just one of the reasons I want to stop.
-I have heard that going through recovery can life a "brain fog". That would be awesome if that happens for me. More of a bonus though, not one of the main reasons I'm doing/not really a goal
