I only made it like 8 days before i broke. Its not easy. Im lonely and i feel like a failure at life. I almost broke again, so i thought i'd list some reasons why i want to do this. First of all, I always feel worse afterwards. Not to mention its hard to pee for a couple minutes. Second, I want something more, and not just this impersonal connection that usually lasts just a few minutes. Lastly, to prove that i can. Willpower is like a muscle, and it would be good to remember that when you think all your willpower is spent there is a little more. At those points, if you succeed, you will become just a little bit stronger making next time that much easier.
You got this bro, no matter what DO NOT TOUCH YOUR DICK! That's the trick and also always be wearing boxers or short or both. never sleep naked or allow yourself to be unclothed at any time. plus in the shower wash your shit and get out, no need to drag the process along and make sure your taking cold showers they help a lot with your willpower/discipline. You got this brother.
Why do I want to quit? simply put, I am not myself when I PMO. Plain and simple. Not myself, and not close to achieving the goals I honestly want. Why do I want to quit? because my wife deserves a real man. A better man. A man who keeps his word, and fulfills his vows to her. Why do I want to quit? because I feel spiritually crippled and devoid of light when I PMO. Not to mention the negative physical effects. Why do I want to quit? because by playing my part in this industry, as a user, I am promoting morally corrupt and illegal practices, such as human trafficking. I take issue with that more than anything else. It physically makes me sick to think about the situation some of these men and women are in, and that I helped to keep it going. Perhaps, when I was younger, I could have pleaded ignorance. Okay. But now? there is no excuse. NONE. Rebooting is basically going back to our default settings, in other words getting back to our true nature - the people we were before this new drug took over. Personally, I feel PMO has screwed me up in so many ways, and it is now time to get back in touch with who I really am. All we need is love. Real love. First and foremost towards ourselves. We must stop treating ourselves this way. It starts now.
I want to quit because I know that this is an addiction rather than something that I genuinely enjoy. I don't want to live with something I cannot control and that will jeopardise my life, my relationships, my family.
That first line is the best advice I've heard yet. It's inspiring. Thanks man. I wont touch my dick. I'll try cold showers too. The rest i already do. You already made it 118 days once, you can do it again easy. Good luck man.
Yeah I heard that advice somewhere and it ALONE is what got me to 118 and i'll be back up there and beyond soon enough. After that far of a fall your damn right i'll get back up there better than before! Never seen that quote before by ALI...LOVE IT!
Why do I want to quit? I want to quit becuase I am addicted to porn and masturbation and its slowly taking control over my life.I dont feel like a man,the world seems black and white,there is no urge to approach women when I fap.I have DE and it's frustrating.I know porn is not normal and my addiction will only escalate to more disgusting shit.I want to be turned on a woman and not by porn.
