To be exact, today marks my 54th straight day! I wanted to post this once I hit 50 days because I feel that's a big achievement. For those following my journal on the 25-29 year old forum, I appreciate the support. Again, I am still doing stuff with my significant other during this time but wanted to completely stop masterbation and I have gone this long without it! What has led me this far? Well the day before I started my streak I bought an engagement ring for my girlfriend after dating several years. I said no more...if I am going to be preparing to get engaged, I don't want to start my relationship with her like this. So we are officially engaged! It happened during this cycle and it is definitely motivating me to give this up for good. Obviously that's not the only thing...another piece of advice for anyone who wants it...STAY BUSY! I have been go go go and not spending any alone time by my computer anymore. That and I just really want to give this up. To put it simply...my desire to give this up for good has finally outweighed my need for pornography. So excited to keep my journal going! Thanks for listening everyone.
Great job man! I'm in a similar boat as you! My journal is linked below. It is an absolute imperative that we not bring this destructive behavior into marriage. Keep it up! My Journal
Thanks but sad to say I relapsed today after 62 days straight. So frustrated with myself because for the first time I was at home alone all day. So dumb of me. Jumping back on that horse though.
I just read the story about your engagement. I know it's a very old post, but congratulations anyway. It seems to be amazing decision.
