Hello, I just joined. I know I have multiple addictions in my life right now and I know they are all hurting me. The most apparent ones are caffeine and alcohol. The other two that aren't as apparent are pornography and masturbation. I had a day off work today and I ended up first thing in the morning drinking a monster no breakfast and no dinner the night before.(needless to say I felt like crap after this) I went to go pick up my paycheck at work, cash the paycheck go home and regrettably went straight to my laptop... .this is a habit. I think this negatively affects my social abilities and overall confidence. I do roofing for a living and I'm also in the military. After a long day of work I might go have a couple of beers in my bedroom and I end up staying on my laptop for hours. Really bad.... I know. All this crap I do is killing my energy, my mental well being and my physical well-being. I'm going to abstain from all these things for at least 2 weeks, and I know it's going to be hard. I'll be here often and hopefully I'll have your support in my mission!
Best of luck!Have faith in yourself!Remember your goals and achievements and look at the bright side of the world.Hopefully you will be able to stop it and succeed in your mission. You can do it!
Haven't updated this in a while. I've kind of neglected/forgot about my efforts here. I've given in to the temptation of PMO, almost every other day for a while now. It happens when I'm trying to avoid responsibilities and when I'm in my bedroom hiding from reality. The stupidest thing just happened, in fact while I was typing this. I had just taken a shower and went back to my bedroom to get dressed. And I ended up just lying in bed instead with temptation on my mind. At first I was just kind of arguing in my head about bringing up porn on my phone. Instead I just logged on here and read success stories. And eventually the temptation subsided and I had the urge to workout. This feeling felt awesome! Like I accomplished something then, I thought before I go workout I'd share this with you guys. Then while I was typing this....... I just suddenly MO'ed. Now I feel like shit and completely demotivated. I don't know what to do about this now. This depression or whatever after PMO/MO usually lasts a few days and I feel like I have no testerone, confidence, common sense, motivation. I've got stuff to get done tonight, and already I'm doing this thing in my head where I procrastinate and deliberate until I have to go to bed. It's just how I get , and it all has to do with PMO. Advice appreciated!
