The Lord of the Rings Challenge

Day 5 complete! Really happy to have hit my longest streak in a good long while, and only one more day of orcdom!

@Ciceron Do you know the Prayer Before Study of St. Thomas Aquinas?

 

Very good I hope you will benefit from it as much as I did! I uninstalled all games over a month ago and I am surprised that I don't even miss them that much, even though I used to play daily.
I think our addiction is also mainly to dopamine, everything that keeps those unhealthy urges up pushes us right back into the PMO cycle.
Hope today will be a better day, also with your mood. All the best to you!

Day 17, on my way to Bree!

 

Sorry, I relapsed. I couldn´t fight back the stress. I´m very ashamed. Back to day 0.

 

Day 17
Really keeping too busy to have anytime to feel lonely or bored.

 

It looks like we are both at the same leg of the journey as I too am on day 17 (and a half). Keeping busy is key. I have been too busy to PMO, and I am thrilled about that.

Day 17.5 - Hobbit @RiseToGreatness

I have not posted since last Friday when I put down my cat (and I appreciate the condolences I received from you all). I am now two and a half weeks clean and feeling good. I had a moment on Saturday when I thought about peeking and I even started the search, but as the first images popped up, I realized what I was fighting for and I closed out within seconds of the first images popping up. On Sunday as I stood in the hot shower, I was overcome with sadness as I realized that I intended to never look at porn again. I realized that despite all the fighting these last six months, I had never truly thought I would go PMO free for the rest of my life. However, Sunday I realized that if I take that step of going PMO free, I would never PM again, and I felt grief as if I was saying goodbye for the last time to a loved one. Someone in my porn addicts recovery group said that PMO is like an abusive partner. We “love” them even though they hurt us and despite knowing that they are not good for us, we think that we can change them/control the urges and look without it being a problem. Sunday was the first day that I really felt like I was serious about giving up porn and masturbation, and it was bitter-sweet. As I stood in that shower I thought about self-sabotaging myself, and masturbating to nude images when I got back to my room, however, then I stepped out of the shower, and the cool air from the bathroom hit me, and I realized that I could do it, that I did not need to PM again. I know that I can do it, I just need to remain cognizant of my urges and to not give in at the first sign of trouble. I am on one of my longest streaks without PMO and I feel pretty good. In two weeks, I will. Be 31 days clean, and I will have matched my longest record, so here is to elf-hood!

Best,
