Day 2 for me here. Watched 'Your brain on porn' YT vid last night. It was interesting to realize the processes involved in the brain's neurochemical changes that happen when you expose it to high amounts of dopamine release, especially that induced by porn. Gives an insight into what's happening and better understanding to help overcome the urges when you have this knowledge, instead of waiting in the dark for it to just pass. Anyway, I feel good about having this forum to express my thoughts and feelings about my struggle as I go along this path. Feeling connected with others of like circumstances gives me support in the matter. Thanks to everyone on here. Good karma, or whatever you believe in, to everyone on here to overcome, one day at a time.
I've completed the challenge! Up next the 14 day challenge! Haven't felt any urges the last 6 days, feeling strong and confident!
Day 0 here, I've tried many times on my own to quit porn, but after finding out about this place I feel like I might have a chance this time...
@2525 I did it! Back from Belgium without relapsing would love to be added to the Hall of Fame! Thank you all!
I'm new to the site and in general this whole porn thing has been a really big problem since I was.. too young. I'm up for it!
OK, Day 1 completed - again. Feeling better on this 'Day 1' than I did on the last 'Day 1'. Probably because a) I still have juice stored up from the previous 4 day streak (didn't blow it all) and b) I have better expectations about how this is going to go (ie. better than last time!)
Today is Day 2 for me. Yesterday was quite easy more of regret and no urges. Today morning had few thoughts but crushed them and will keep going!
