35 and Older Accountability Group

Getting back on track

 

Checking in - in a very nice hotel.

 

Congratulations @krazzer on 60 days! Keep going and don't give up, just move forward to be free!
And I also congratulate the new members! May you succeed in achieving good results!

 

Thanks for adding me to the group. I used PMO yesterday so today needs to be the beginning of a good run. I seem to be back in a bit of a cycle at the moment and it seems hard to get out of.

 

Checking in. Overtaken by constant anxiety. It’s like I’ve gotten ice water running through my limbs the whole day. PMO is the least of my concerns right now. No urges.

 

trying to stay away from P. Allowing myself M and O for now because I can't handle more but seeing avoiding just P helps a lot. However, been bored working from home and was looking up massage videos on youtube. Definitely not porn but still not great to watch.

Anyone have any thoughts on dating apps? I've just tried deleting all of them and think they need to be used in moderation for sure. It's all part of the same sex addiction to me. No point in wasting time speaking to dozens of new women. I feel like I need to detox some before I go back and use it sparingly.

 

Just checking in lads, 3 days in feeling optimistic

 

3 days seems like a great start to me! I guess it all depends on how it sounds to you. For me it would a decent stretch!

 

I hear ya.

My recent attempt before this I lasted 10 days cravings/itch to fap were just too much.

I can't just refrain from porn, I have to go full monk and stop everything otherwise I feel like I'm cheating myself lol.

Just super hard to do.

 

Interesting. I feel so far from pmo I need to have somewhere to start. Otherwise, there'd be nothing for me to work on. It would be like asking me to go to the Crossfit gym and work on chin ups when I can barely hold onto the bar. I am enjoying just gaving a few hours of no P. It feels really nice to be reading (spiritual stuff or other topics). This is an extra few hours a day of freedom not consuming p. even if I m/o for an hour, yeah, I feel low after, but before with p, i was watching for 4 hours a day sometimes. Sounds soooo disgusting when I type it out... just the waste of all that time and deep spiritual energy. Anyway, no p feels great. I hope to get to full pmo goal soon.

 

Yeah bro this addiction is real, I've been on here since 2017/2018 still trying to rid it, it's a drug lol

As soon as we find what works for us we just keep at it consistently, trouble is, it's finding what works in first place.

tNot sure if that hat made sense or not

 

Quick update. Definitely feeling stressed and pressed for time. Perfect excuses for my brain to seek dopamine deluges. Trying to cold turkey my from my triad of addictions: cannabis consumption, viewing the fairer sex in various states of undress/ encouraging their self satisfaction / objectifying and sexualizing them, and sugar consumption (which is lowest on my priorities since I'm fairly good at it; admittedly no master). Would like to make it to the end of the year abstaining or at least making good progress. "Set goals, but stay open!" Suerte todos.

 

checking in still going strong.....

 

Rough week.
Reset this morning.

 

Been thinking about my reset all morning. Had some family stress that got to me but I can deal with it better next time.
Disappointed in my self but feeling good about having a streak that was nearly three weeks. I haven't done that well in a long time.
Looking forward to doing better.

 

I have to eat my words today, too much stress today and lead to 3 faps.

Feel exhausted and low morale.

Starting again.

P.s 1st of month reset, let's hit 30 days and get that sunshine emoji been wanting for ages now.

Lets go!!!

 

Absolute Boss!

Well done dude

 

Día 1
Empezando de nuevo.
Espero que septiembre sea un mes límpioo..
