Day 5 got me testing my PIED. Felt like playing with fire with gasoline in my hands. I feel more confident than before, like if I want to have sex I'll probably be fine. I think by the time I get to the 90 day challange I'll get back to beast mode.
I like this counter: |3|7|14|21|30|40|50|60|90|120|200|300|365| I'll steal it in good faith my friend.
New challenge counter on my signature, got me extra motivated and psychologically engaged. Brought you by xxmemel0verxx
Day 7. To be here in this community really helps me. Here i can share my thoughts openly. And people around here always support each other. Move to the next challenge!
starting day 6. Much easier to overcome the urge. But insomnia is really annoying. I need to stay in bed at least for an hour or more before going to sleep. Last night got triggered, just didn't act on it as i decide what to do and what not. Thanks for the support guys.
How do we run that counter, @HunchoJack? For example, if i have done 7 days challenge, should i start 14 days challenge from day 0 again? Or i just continue it to day 8?
Have to start over, still cannot go even a few days anymore without doing it. The reason why i keep relapsing is because im not confident in myself and convincing myself i don't have a problem. I think i need to remind myself of my goals and why i decided to go Porn-free. Im doing it for my sex life, happiness, independence, and so i can please my girlfreind without being limp. Day 0. I want to be free of the constant urges and guilt.
We have the same goals! I want to be a man who appreciate my girl as a human being, not just a sexual object. Be optimistic, man!
You're in the right place man. Keep posting in these forums and it’ll get easier. I was caught in a shame cycle for a long time but I realized I can use that same energy to do anything I want. It just takes a little while sometimes. You’re not alone. Be kind to yourself.
Day 7 completed! I feel so great about finishing this challenge but I’m reminding myself that all I have is this moment right now. All I have to do is stay strong for today. It really doesn’t matter if I have 7 days or 700. I could always go back to my old behavior if I forget to pay attention to my thoughts and feelings. I need to be humble and grateful to stay strong. And more than anything else I need these forums and the people in them. Thank you guys and I’ll see you around! I’m going to the next challenge now!
You don´t go back to 0, that'd be too much bc imagine you hit the 300 mark, that mean you'd need a whole other year just to complete the last one. Mark them as you go, so I'll mark number 7 within the next couple of days, 7 days later, I'll mark 14, so on, so on...
I feel you man, one think that helps me stay away from porn is remiding myself of the devastating effects it's had on my life, including (ESPECIALLY) going limp on my girl too. This is a classic
Starting a new job tomorrow. That means I'll be dating again soon fellas. More reasons to stay away from the devil
