Day 4 of 90 progress.

I did share this in my AP group but wanted to share it here too.

Hi everyone, just checking in with my progress. I’m actually doing pretty well, feeling much better with four days no PMO. I feel like I’ve got over the inertia that I felt after starting this current push for 90, it was really tough the first couple of days to get going, my head kept telling me I should be on 37 days. Anyway I’m back in the grove, good nutrition, exercise, 12 step meetings for various addictions. Making sure to connect with people, pick up the phone, go for a coffee, speak about my feelings, and be there for myself. Medatation, prayer ( non religious), gratitude list daily, was doing cold baths twice a day but stopped as was a little under the weather. Keeping it in the day and doing the next right action. Personally for me I’m treating this like any other addiction, i am totally powerless over PMO and I surrender to that fact, I can’t control it and the only way forward is entire abstinence. By admitting I have a problem I can work on the solution and not get caught up in any bs about this time it will be different or this time I will control it, or I will only do it once a week, or maybe I can edge, or maybe it wasn’t that bad, or any other lie my inner addict will tell me is a good reason to start again.

I hope all you guys are doing well and staying strong.

 

Thanks. Appreciate the support. Well done on 54 days!

 

Yeah I feel that. I have other addictions where I no longer count the days. All the best, a clean serene life is much better.

 

Nice one, I really appreciate the support and kind words.
