Hello, Since my previous post, I am still carrying on being porn/fap free! I was supposed to finish on the 1st of August, and now I'm aiming for he 14th of November which will be one whole year! Not sure if I'll be able to do it but we'll see. I have to admit it really isn't easy. The urges of just going to watch pornography and masturbating have been very strong and just get bigger and bigger. Only recently I was on the brink of doing just that, but luckily I walked away and decided to watch a TV show instead. The worry of letting myself down was able to convince me to carry on. I wanted to ask you guys how do you get round these terrible urges and what do you do to stop them from coming back? Fingers crossed I'll be able to make it to the end!
307 days in and I feel your pain. I recently have been getting bombarded with urges and thoughts. I’m hoping it goes away more with time. This addiction is no joke. Especially when most of us have been addicted for most of our lives until they day we decide enough is enough.
Sorry for the late reply but thanks for the response. When the going gets tough I think our conscience can really come in handy. I know the urges won't go away so the only thing to do is tell yourself not to give in or think how you'll actually feel about it. Over the last week or so I've thought about all the pros and cons of ending the challenge now or until I reach my goal date. Doing this I've now got a great idea why I should carry on, and when the urges come back, I can actually tell myself why I mustn't give in.
