Day 2 ... today I woke up very motivated, mental fog and social anxiety diminish little by little .. I really feel it in my head. This morning I woke up and had milk with oatmeal and I did an hour of exercises to then feel my spirits rise and fill me with positive vibes, then I saw a movie with my father (alpha), at sunset I went jogging on the beach to go back and do another half hour of exercises. I feel really focused after 5 years trying to quit this addiction .. I finally manage to have a good diet, I meditate every day, I read a lot, I practice sports, etc ... I know that I have a long way to go and a lot to learn for overcome this. This page has been a light of hope for my life and I hope it continues to be, peace brothers.
Was just browsing Insta, and I got a follow request from a user who posted a picture of a naked woman. I declined the request, blocked, and reported the user. No sudden urges or erection. 2/30. Lets do this.
After completing this challenge on easy mode (only steering clear of porn), I decided to restart in normal mode (no porn and no masturbation) to improve my sex life with my significant other! Wish me luck everyone!
Day 12. Had two vivid sexual dreams and it lingered in my head throughout the day. I've never felt this intensity of high temptations before and I see this as a good sign of healing. Didn't give in and moving on...
Day 3 of 30. Intense morning wood, that wont go away. Even my female friends are triggering me, i dont like this, because I dont want to see them as a sex object. But fantasy starts automatically.
Ok, so... just had a relapse. 2nd day. Ashamed at first but now I've accepted that I made a mistake and gave in. Been praying and now I feel even more motivation to defeat PMO. Good luck to everyone else!
Make it hard as possible for you to watch porn. Let your Phone or other devises be restricted. Put the tv away or turn the internet of. Just to be bit able if you want to. And if you overcame the urge, althoug you wanted but you couldn’t, you will get stronger.
Personally I try to make a habit of looking away when I feel triggered. It takes self control but after a while it gets easier to do. I also try to avoid looking at women when am on the streets bcos I end up objectifying them too. Ps. Try to make as much eye contact as possible. Look at the eyes then away from the person: side to side or up but down is usually not a good idea. Peace
Thank you for your advise. I will do as you say. But what do you mean with this: side to side or up but down is usually not a good idea. I am asking cause I am not strong in english.
