Want to go porn free? Read this.

Awesome post dude. Thank you!

 

Thank you for writing this! I should write a recovery plan for myself too!

 

awesome man

 

A wise man said failing to plan is planning to fail, I like the strong game plan you have outlined and could be used by any of us. Thank you for the game plan! In my journey of transformation, reading books (biography, philosophy, motivational..) proved to be an exciting new hobby and also revealed that, in the end, we are all immensely weak in a certain area and extremely strong in another. Finding out those spots and putting on extra effort on the ones we are good at makes our progress faster. Keep up the great job, and share with us your discoveries about yourself. Thank you for inspiring!

 

I certainly agree with you Resolved Oregonian and i recognize myself in what you are saying. For too long I have been struggling by myself with my porn addiction. To many times my motivation has let me down. When I am going through "problems" in my life I feel that it doesn't matter if I relapse or not. I also need to work with accountability partnets just like you to get more serious about this. I hope everything works out for you with your recovery plan.

 

Lovely .

 

Thanks for that. I'm around the same age as you and I can relate to your 'binge/purge/repeat' (I'm there right now).
I saved your 8 components to the journal in my NF Companion app.

 

Great job, man! Keep the strick up. Steady pace with reaching small goals and milestones is way more encouraging than the huge goal that you can't realize how to achieve. Wish you all the best! Reach the 90-days mark and remember that the reboot itself never finishes.

 

Thanks for sharing this with us! It seems every step where we fumble adds some more strength and tools for the next time around.

I particularly like your bit about commitment to become someone that doesn't [need] P in their life. That's something that's vaguely mentionned in many Fapstronauts' reports in many tortured ways, but we always seem to try and want to remove P from our lives without changing anything else (from fear of rejection or change, mostly), without realizing P has taken roots in our lives for reasons and removing it can't go without filling these blanks, scraping other stuff in the process, and adding what we want for the future "us" to be.

Keep it up!

 

Hey, @TheFutureMe !
Just wanted to let you know that you have realized a remarkable idea in your signature which is in your first line - "One day at time". This shows how important it is to keep track of milestones reached. One by one, slowly but steadily we are going through all of them. And your visualization helps to always remember where we are at the moment, and what is our next small goal.
Borrowing that from you! Thanks again!

Thanks for noticing, and very glad it can be borrowed and used again! The visualization setup is mine indeed, though it's only really a presentation of my own milestones, which allows for me to have separate goals/challenges running at any given time As opposed to a counter, it sort of shows the way we've covered already rather than just stating where we're at.

"One day at a time" comes from the movie "Thanks for sharing" with Mark Ruffalo, which I encourage everybody in NoFap to watch. Careful with this movie though, it contains a fuckton of explicit material and was sort of hard to watch at times, remember it hasn't been made for us, recovering addicts, it has been made for people who have no idea we suffer from that and so it's arranged "to their taste". Yet it's interesting, and if you guys are anything like me you'll learn a thing or two about recovery and its traps

As for the sentence he uses : His character is a recovering addict that says these words as a support/conjuring tool against potential triggers, while counting with one finger for each word of the sentence, for support against all that could lead him to relapse. The following link shows what I mean by counting on his fingers while mumbling the sentence while under siege with potential triggers. I've started using it myself during my previous reboot, then decided I needed more than just a tool to fix my ways

Spoiler: Potentialy powerful triggers in this trailer

(Thanks for Sharing Trailer (0:48) go to 0:48 if you can go through the barrage of nudity)

All the best and sorry for the offtopic from OP's success post.

 

Wow, you have such a profound story behind this seemingly simple but wise phrase! Noticing valuable stuff around ourselves and using it to our own benefit is a great feature of a comprehensive mind. Your progress is the best example of this.
Thanks for sharing!

 

Well done mate. Thank you for sharing. Your recovery plan is a great idea. I have modified a little and created one for myself. I am day 2 of 100 days PM free! Can not wait to be in your position

 

Hello Resolved Oregonian - thanks for the tips! Great advice.

 

My process is working so far on day 3 today. Got my plan set out on my profile, started a journal post and looking for an AP. Every time I get an urge I have been dropping to the ground and doing as many push ups as possible. Also blocked all of my devices from accessing porn with a whole number of methods.

Decided what you will do now you are well over 50 days?

 

Thank you for sharing mate. You have inspired me to explore what I desire from life in a more concrete way. I desire to change many things and my purpose is to give back to others and be authentic. To be that person, there is no room in my life for addictions and mal-adaptive coping strategies. I only want to include things in my life that ADD value not take it away.

I went and looked at miracle morning and downloaded their free resources. I have written out my Personal Affirmations and goals and made up a version of the 30 - day transformation tracker. I will keep you posted how I go. I really apreciate what you are doing for your self and others. I agree abstinence from porn is a small part of the equation.
