    Hello, I am a 25yo turtle (man) trying to fix my cursed mind and want to live a porn free life. I feel like I am getting dragged into a world that I don't necessary like anymore, and I regret everytime after my orgasm, even though I return every next day to get my dose of (ultra) short-term dopamine shot. I really hate myself for that.

    I am really greatful for finding this site. I am even considering writing a reboot log/journey on this forum, as I feel like opening up and reflecting on things is the first step I need to take in order to know what needs to be fixed.

    I am participating in a 90 days PMO-challenge, which seems quite daunting at first, but
    for now I skipped my daily 'post-wake up masturbate, orgasm and feel regret session' today, so that is a mini victory for me already.

    Small steps, friends, small steps :)

  6. If you are asking how do you quote someone's post in your post, then you simply click 'reply' and it's created for you. Or you can use the quote + / quote - options. To use the quote options you highlight which part of a message you want to show up in your post. After you highlight then a quote + option appears, click it. Then place your cursor in your post and then click 'insert quotes' to see your options. It's tricky for me to explain but I do suggest you have a go. Come over to my journal and practice if you like!!

    Hey, I'm glad you have a good sense of humor. It's needed on here at times. Things can get serious and depressing at times - if you let it get to you. Otherwise, keep a positive mindset, a humble attitude, and a desire to help and it will all work out for you.

    And one other thing I'd like to share with you is that it's not about counting days. I'm not saying you are or singling you out, but I find a lot of people on here get caught up counting days. I think it's nice to have clean days, of course, it is, but if our focus is only on counting days then we lose focus of the real task at hand - dealing with urges, triggers and weaknesses. Having said that, thank you for acknowledging my current streak. It is nice and uplifting to hear a compliment about my progress from others, even when I was on single digits it was nice. You will get to double digits and then triple digits. That's when we can celebrate together with a cyber milkshake!! LOL

    I will definitely try to aim to become a Shiny Ninja Turtle :)

    And I think you are dead right when the focus should not only be on counting days, however, I do think its a nice visualisation that I am on the right track, which gives motivation to keep going, at least that is how I am experiencing it right now.
    Also how do you manage to keep control of your urges? If you don't mind sharing at least.

    I have started my own journal, it actually gave a sense of accomplishment to actually jolt down everything. Currently looking for a time to do a daily update.
