Another good day, kept busy today and as is happening more each day porn did not even enter my mind today. I did think back to my days when I was severely addicted, so much so that I would fap at work in the toilet block, that is how bad I was back then. It is still amazing to me how my character has changed with such a relatively simple change as defeating the addiction to porn and masturbation. I do not wish that I had never been addicted to porn, because that is history, and it is impossible to know how ones life would have turned out if I had never been addicted to porn. My life may have even been worse, so I will never play the 'what if' game. So brothers and sisters, if a serious addict such as myself can leave porn behind, albeit with a few resets on the way, then you can do it as well. Do not neglect to examine your past and search for any trauma's which may still affect you even if you do not realise it. There are various psychological methods which you can use to exorcise these trauma's and in my case I just used resources found on youtube to do just this. So keep on the path to recovery, don't beat yourself up if you have a relapse, but just get up and keep walking towards your porn free future. Cheers for now.
Ever heard of the saying "out of sight, out of mind?" You're not exactly exhibiting that. Not to take away from what you've accomplished but you literally post about PORN/m/o on what seems to be a daily basis. How exactly is porn "fading further away day by day" for you? Is that in a figurative or poetic sense? In order to move on, you'd have to actually... move on. That'd probably entail leaving this forum behind, starting your life anew.
The battle never stops. I am better than ever and I come to this forum more than ever to talk and help/motivate others.
Different strokes for different folks. No one owes me anything; I don't owe anyone anything. I made myself the way I am, I take responsibility for it and I am working to improve. If and when I'm healed, I hope to put the past behind me and look ahead. I'd want no part of reliving my misery day in and day out whether I justify it by telling myself I'm helping others or not.
