    I'm more comfortable with being uncomfortable, that alone is worth the journey

    I notice how many beautiful women are out there (even wearing masks) and how many different forms feminine beauty can take. Make no mistake, the world offers plenty of fugly ones too (ugly outside and/or inside), but you get more attuned to each woman's energy and it makes the good ones even more appealing.

    I've noticed a mental clarity when I have to be on top of my game (i.e. important work presentation last week, an important work discussion around a strategic project). I simply do not know sometimes where the things I come up with come from, and then realize it is being PMO-free is fueling the creative spark.

    I also am much more in-tune with how my body feels, as well as my own emotional state (and what kinds of triggering emotions I had dealt before with pornography and masturbation that I have to deal with now as a recovering porn addict).

  6. Realizing that I have huge issues with control and anxiety. My mind's being restored to me, I think, but there's such a massive gap to bridge between myself and the minds of my fellow men that I'm not sure I'll actually make it. All the difficulty and pain are still better than they alternative though, because they're signs of increasing health. And maybe I'll eventually stop idealizing other people and realize most of 'em aren't up to all that much anyway. :p

    Remember porn addiction is so very difficult to stop by yourself, thanks to porn and masturbation being a Solution to a Problem we may have at any given moment: stress, fear, boredom, frustration, need for approval.

    And as we are used to taking care of our own needs, we stuff down the bad feelings with self-medication.

    And with porn’s infinite variety, endless supply, ubiquitous availability and extremely low cost (often free), we are helpless without the help of others (I.e. and Accountability Partner and group sessions, whether PAA or SAA or support calls from this site).

    Just a few thoughts on a random Sunday nite.

    This post was exactly what I needed to see tonight. Thanks for posting this. To answer the question its easily self-confidence, the idea that I can control my self.

    One other thing is I get random burst of happiness. I never get to experience it when I am numbed with porn use
