    This is a fantastic idea, and the suggestions are terrific too! But no one suggested that we use what is EASILY the most helpful tool of all in this fight, which is going to an SA 12 step meeting. Yes they're difficult but I went "all in" because I was ready to kick this habit and of all the tools I've used and all the safeguards I've put in place, NONE of them help as much as the SA group does.

    How's everybody doing?

    I've had a good weekend so far and I'm very encouraged because of just having a good time with friends. But even now when I'm alone I still sometimes feel a small desire, but I know better.. I don't want to go the easy way. I want to build a stronger character.
     
  4. Still going strong, I've had a distraction with helping my dad build his new pc. It's feels great to work on something productive like this.

    I had a good day today. Right now I feel some old habits trying to ease me back into searching for content I know will eventually will bring me down. I hate it that something in me wants to give in. I won't!
     

  8. I'M IN!
    even if I started June in a bad way.. but I can redeem myself.

    sooo.. I liked this idea!
    This is my list:


    SAFEGUARDS
    • No internet surfing past 9 PM (is almost 11 PM right now)
    • Use PC only to work/study
    • Don't use telegram to check out people around me
    • Avoid extended periods of laziness and inactivity.
    • Don’t watch videos or movies, during long periods of time
    • Don’t overload with work! (I like this one!)
    • Wake up early in the morning.
    • Forget P sites, video-chat or any other sex related app/website
    • Avoid watching movies or TV shows with sensual content, even with other people around.
    • Avoid staying in my room when I can be in other places with other people around.
    • Don't think of my ex - which I still fell in love with

    Count me in too! I started this month with a terrible setback, but I'm committed to staying P and M free for the rest of the month.

    Safeguards:
    * Meditation every morning
    * Cardio exercise every morning
    * No social media

    Thanks for getting the ball rolling!

  10. How's everyone doing? I had crazy urges this morning but managed to pull through.

  11. Heilà!

    Well, doing good. I'm keeping myself busy.
    Since is Sunday, church time and this helps.

    Suggestion for everyone: go out! Stay in a public place - don't close yourself at home or in your room

    Doing well here too. I was with my family all weekend, and we spent a lot of time outside.

    Go check the thread “Why Most Don’t Succeed.” It’s on the front page, or you can go through my recent posts, or search “lobster god.”

    You’re in a familiar cycle. We all hit that low point. It’s okay. Let it sit. And in a while, wash your face and decide what you’re going to do about it. Enslavement to porn is the mainstream, and you’re either going to float along with it like a turd, or swim against the current.

    And if you want to talk about it here or PM me, I’m here for you
