Hey everyone. Today is the day that I count as my annual marker. I have been free from ALL porn since July 4, 2010. It can be done and your life will be better for it. I dropped some things out of my life that you might think are essential like I don't have a smart phone, I don't go on youtube without my SO knowing about it, and I don't have unrestricted access to the internet. For me, it came down to what was really important, my marriage and my sanity. I gave up on the idea of self-control in this area of my life. If I had it, I wouldn't have been an addict. Anyway, I hope you all will celebrate my day with me. I look forward to celebrating yours, even if it is just day one.
Masterclass you are jfrom! In the beginning of NoFap for me about a month, I was so keen on counting the days, the counter meant everything. Seeing yours, I know I can just quit all of it forever, it has no place in my life. Happy independence day!
Great Job ! The fireworks will be celebrating your anniversary ! Your comment of "it came down to what was really important ..." is what its really all about. I'd read here - perhaps from you - early on in my journey that its easier if you have a clear goal in mind of what you want to accomplish. I've had that. And today, I too celebrate a milestone; its been 90 days of "hard mode" (near "monk-mode") for me. I appreciate your comments along the journey. Knowing that its possible to be PMO free and that not only does life go on without PMO, its MUCH better kept me going, and keeps me going. Thanks for your encouragement. Congratulations on your continuing journey ! Be strong, be well.
@jfromcr: I am so proud of you, babe! I wasn't sure if having Independence Day was going to last… to be honest, I was afraid it wasn't going to. But I am SOOO glad it did! Just promise me that, as these businesses take off, we won't be "Independent" of each other. Okay, bad pun aside, I've lived too long like that and I don't want to go back! @MoTWoL, @im_alive, @bfdet: Thank you so much for encouraging my hubby. It's guys like you who have helped along the way!!! Happy Fourth of July, guys!
@lfromcr thanks for all your love and support. I look forward to sharing more years with you and sharing our story with others. I couldn't be "Independent" of my one and only.
Happy MORE-INDEPENDENCE Day to you, too, bfdet! Sounds like you have a lot to celebrate tonight. Congrats on reaching your milestone! You gonna keep going?
What the fuck @jfromcr. Do you have the Guinness world record for No Pmo for 6 years? Are you signing up to become the next pope? Really impressive, never I have read here someone going for such a long time. If I were you, I would aim for a decade. Must be a walk in the park for you. Teach us your ways master.
"He BETTER aim for at least a decade", says his wife, Lfromcr (ha ha!) But really, he's gone six years clean before (give or take because he didn't keep the dates back then), so this will be new territory for him this time. Thanks for your awesome encouragement, @Jungler!
Nice one @jfromcr really happy to see you push the boundaries for all of us on here. Your a true inspiration to everyone on NoFap and really there for the newbies like you were for me, that advice you gave about living my life is really paying off now I feel it. It also really touches me to see you in a loving relationship with @lfromcr your both an inspiration to us all in relationships that struggle because of P.
Hey @Rapparee, Man your making me blush. I really want everyone to see that it can be done and you can live a life much bigger than PMO. Glad that I had an impact.
Wow! Congratulation. Almost 2200 days!!! Can't imagine.! How impressive.! Such an achievement.!! I was at the edge of relapsing again but fortunately read your're story.
Hey @joarev85, Keep practicing man. You will get more days free and feel a lot better. Glad I could assist.
Congratulations!!! Man I hope that I also reach the milestone of leaving PMO forever. We need guys like you for inspiration
