Why Journaling is Important ? I'm going pretty well with NoFap so far, But i'm about to stop Another Addiction - Today. The Game Addiction - I won't touch that crap again nor speak to anyone who is addicted to it, although my family members are all addicts. The Sugar Addiction / Junk Food Addiction (( Sometimes...)) is the next on the list. And i will try to limite my Internet use too, including coming here to this forums regulary. Thanks to all of you, anybody knows why Journaling is Important ?
For me there were lots of reasons It made me accountable, I'd told a large community of people (you all) that I was giving up and you were following my progress: I didn't want to disappoint people here. It quickly became a place where friends would challenge me. I'd write something I'd planned or realised about my reboot and friends would disagree and so I'd think it through again or more deeply. It's somewhere to get support. When things are going badly and I'm tempted to relapse I wroia journal post and friends here five in with supportive replies. It's a place where I can thrash through what I learn about myself and my recovery. Things like the relationship between madturbation and my porn addiction have taken me a long time to work through. It's somewhere I can refer people from other threads when a topic that I have worked on in my journal crops up. It's somewhere I can refer back to for key posts or just to reflect on my journey and how I've changed. Most of all it has proved to be a place where, as long as I remain honest, I can dig inty psyche and unravel the things that made porn so addictive to me.
