Day 22. I had a thought today. Pmo it's destroyed many marriages and relationships, it's led to many suicides. Next time your jerking off to porn think of all those dead souls, those young men and older family men in the grave because porn drove them to jump off a bridge or put some rope around their neck. Think about them. Think about the pain these people were in because their Pmo addiction led them down this dark road. Think about all the marriage break ups, the disloyalty, the pain, the pain for the children within the marriage break up too. Think about all the pedophiles out there who ended up abusing children because the porn they were consuming took them to that point. None of this is easy to think about, but each time we pmo we are edging further towards addiction, Pmo addiction will lead to feelings of suicide, failed marriages and relationships, and the more extreme and taboo our viewing gets which it will then eventually it will most likely be children, that's at the bottom but eventually we will sink to that point. Next time you are sat in front of a screen with your hand down your pants think about these things. I will think about them too next time I'm tempted. Pmo is the heart of darkness
Rank 0 I had a bad (and very messy) relapse last night, and so while I am nearly 24-hours clean from PMO, I did look at porn-sub and touch myself for a couple minutes tonight, and since I am holding a low threshold for a reset to keep myself honest, I decided to reset for 8PM tonight.

I would like to join this challenge, how do I go about doing this? Very new to all of this if anyone can let me know how I would appreciate it. I'm current on day 0 right now, setback was about 4 hours thanks.
All you need to do is make a post in the forum - which you've already done. All other information can be found in the opening post. Welcome to the Jedi Temple!
Not been on the thread for a bit but I’m going to respectfully withdraw from the challenge. Keep supporting each other. I’m going to try and contribute to the forum like I intended as well when I come back to it.
I can't believe I have made it this far, @Marcus Aurelius please promote me to Jedi Master I am checking in for day 60. Currently, my stress level is high and it is making my dark side temptations stronger. I have confidence in myself that I can overcome this phase. Every temptation I overcome makes me stronger
Survived the first day with no set back, got my first 24 hours in. Found an interesting book called Atomic Habits, spent most of the day reading that. Extremely helpful in this struggle. Definitely a new weapon added to my arsenal. Talked about how one should shift their statement, for example when saying I'm trying to quit to porn to saying I just don't use porn. Interesting logic in rewiring one's brain.
