Hi @Man786! That's some really great advice from you! I think I need some time to let that fully sink in. There are so many good points you highlight here. - I especially like this point: Porn doesn’t fill the void in my life, it creates it. - Making a vow to never visit these sites is gold too. You basically remove it out of your thinking pattern. It's not allowed. Remind yourself: There’s absolutely nothing to give up. You will be better off away from porn. There is no rational reason to even watch porn. And there’s no genuine pleasure or crutch in porn either. It’s just an illusion, a false belief. - I think this point is very true too: Don’t be hung up waiting for ‘moment of insight’ to come. Just get on with your life, enjoying the highs and coping with the lows. Thanks for this great share, in case I need some coaching I will let you know. For now, I just want to work with what I got and let your lines sink in. Thanks man786!! PEACE!!
F*** yeah... I did it. So glad I made 90 Days!! Thats my third longest streak ever!! Before I did 138 days, before that 300 days and before that hardly ever made it over a week or two, max 4... And I did this for +25 years! Most of the time I fapped 3-5 times a week... 120 Days is the new goal! It will get tough I know that... my brain will try to trick me, it will tell me it's okay, you did long enough... now release!!! Fuck no! I'll keep fighting my urges every single day, day by day... and try my best to get where I want too! for my FREEDOM!! for being a man that stands to his words, for being a better father and for being a better husband! Be You! PEACE!!
... unfortunately fapped a couple of days ago. Back to square 1 (again)... i think i was too over-ambitious...
Your progress hasnt been lost, you got this. You have seen the difference, even relapsing is an opportunity.
Sorry buddy!! You were doing so well… I was reading your story so far and thinking “I can do that too”! you’ve already proved you can - 300 days is one hell of an achievement buddy!! So be proud and get back at it and do it again! I was only aiming for a 90 day reboot… but the more I’m reading here the more I’m thinking this could be a long term way forward!! well done on what you’ve achieved buddy!! Keep fighting… get back up and do it again… but better!!
Hi @Newbie Jasper Thanks for your encouraging words. I guess I needed to hear that for some reason. Will try my best, wishing you the strengths to pull through too. For a new beginning. Thanks!
Welcome welcome buddy! We all need to help each other… we have the same problem but different variants!
