  1. First of all thank you all for letting me be a part of this important community. Lots of love to my fellow buddies. Whenever I was down and felt depressed someone was always there to cheer me up, I can't return that. I'll be always grateful to you all for that. But this was my last session on 8th Of January 2021 7:20 pm. I'll miss you all. But I'm going temporarily and I'll be back with the victory and I promise this to all. This is it now its over. Now time for final battle. I'll miss you all.

    Love you buddies :emoji_heart::emoji_heart::emoji_heart:

    Day 31. Feeling mellow today. I had a dream last night that I was edging and relapsed. More like a nightmare. I feel that I am on autopilot at this point. I don't have cravings for P. I do catch myself starting to fantasize here and there but not about P. I am able to turn the channel pretty quickly at this point. Definitely feeling really positive about my progress.

    Thank you @Johnthesavage @Slider8 @Gallade_Templar and @BrotherHal for your thoughtful responses. I was able to talk with myself yesterday and get some clarity about my thoughts. I do think it's worthy to pursue a more intimate relationship with my wife - something beyond "sex" as porn would define it. Redefining my sexual identity is at the core of this journey. However, if I'm honest, I'm not quite ready to try to fully comprehend things that abstractly without it being triggering. I am where I am right now in recovery from a decade's worth of pornography use, and I am happy about that. In time, I'll find myself in a different space where I am able to be more of a leader in exploring real intimacy with my wife. For now, I have to assume that any sexual thoughts are at least a risky opening for old conditioning to latch onto.

    Day 8

    Had some time to reflect on my triggers today, boredom is definitely one of them, I need to ensure I’m constantly keeping myself occupied to avoid any temptation.

    I have particularly vivid dreams, and last night I dreamt that I relapsed; the guilt I felt was overwhelming as I now have my girlfriend keeping me accountable, but as soon as I woke up I couldn’t help but grin knowing it was all in my head!

  9. Day 8 completed.
    It's now been over a week of not using Instagram at all as I've found that is my biggest trigger.
    I'm really having trouble figuring out what direction I should be taking in life right now. So many things are just messed up in my life and I need to really change some other habits too but I'm worried of falling back into the trap of PMO if I get too bored.
    I noticed I'm getting really irritated at small things from today. I have to get back into my daily Yoga practice because that's when I'm at my best.

    Well done brother,well done. You see it's better focus not on the goal , but on building the network of habits that'd lead you to the goal.

    If we are not using our intention and pure thought it rolls down to animal instinct at the best and most often to the lust. This was the reason behind Adam and Eve being driven out of Eden's paradise. That pleasure from sex was the forbidden fruit they ate to be cursed by the Creator.

    2 Days Complete. Not many urges today but I have to be ready for them when they come this time. I'm going to get back into a routine of doing exercise daily. This should hopefully also create a way to release energy when urges come.

    To find your direction be consistent in your practice of meditation coupled with good quality sleep every night, this should help you sort the mess in your life as well.:)
