Hi, I'm 42 and new to the community. I've been heavily into porn since my teens and need to make a drastic change. I have read the rules and would like to join this group, assuming there is space?
2 days done. Gonna do my best to redirect all the lusty musty thoughts towards something more helpful and skillful. Stay strong and have a great day all
Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the US. I finally got a good streak going and I'm feeling good! (Knock on wood.)
5 days in and so far so good. Have been able to quash any thoughts before they become urges so I guess that's a decent start. I think it helps that I now realise how destructive that behaviour was to be able to avoid it. But it has only been 5 days, so who knows...
Good attitude. Catching the thoughts and redirecting towards something helpful, something skillful, something constructive has been key to most all positive momentum I’ve ever had. Keep going!
Hanging in there, 5 days done, continuing to redirect the thoughts of porn towards something more helpful
I'm having my first challenging day today. Somehow got totally triggered by the most innocuous image while scrolling Reddit last night and am now struggling with a constant barrage of intrusive P-related thoughts. Not at all helped by the fact that I have over-indulged on coffee this morning, so my brain is in overdrive. Being able to check-in here and having some level of accountability is probably the only thing between me and a reset, so thank you all!
