Title is pretty self-explanatory. I deleted my porn folder with over 1,000 photos and videos. Thank you to everyone who gave me advice and encouraged me to take action against my bad habits. Feel free to celebrate with me!
I've been deleting and creating such folders many times. In the beginning it was hard. But then I realized that I need the folder only before the relapse. Afterwards it's useless. It's just the proof that P and PMO are empty and meaningless. I don't need the folder, along with P and PMO. The images bring nothing to my life just a temporary joy that comes at a high price ( remorse, low self-esteem and depression). Every time a relapse resets me progress.
Good job!!! If you do ever relapse, stick with vanilla porn and don't download anything since you really don't need to as its all online anyway. Hoarding porn is definitely a bad habit.
It did kind of feel like hoarding, I hadn’t thought of that until now. Wow… yeah - like in a way, it is a type of clutter. It’s like a disorganized basement full of random porn clips. not planning to relapse but it’s good advice all the same, thank you. For me, when I am mentally weak, that’s when I’m most vulnerable - so I’ll need to not only be sure that at times when I am feeling weak that I’m not near devices & that when I feel I’m gonna cave I say to myself ‘No Fucking Way!’
Thank you, @MindfulWarrior & @OLLIE_100 Have you both done this and experienced a bit of a discomfort - maybe feelings of mourning even? I feel like, I know I really can't go back to being that type of me again - and it's like a part of my personality is dying in front of my eyes.
Well with me being on Nofap and saying no to watching porn is a feeling of discomfort and mourning in itself as I’m finally letting the old lustful habits go and replacing them with much better ones.
