Day 9 and doing well. Sleeping better right now.

 

Happy new year everyone let’s hope 2024 is a good one for us all!

 

Checking in at the middle of the week.

 

Mid week check in. All is going well, my head and heart are in a good place thankfully.

 

Reporting a reset: 5 good days in
Got something In my mind and it wouldn't go away after breathing exercises or reading, just te thoughts here for almost 40 minutes of white knuckling it before I succumbed
Gotta try some more different disruptions

 

Checking in, feeling strong and focusing on positive habits like exercise and meditation

 

Checking in again lads, struggling.

Reset.

 

11 Days. Starting to sleep better. Sleep is a challenge, but getting 6-7 hours and am going back to sleep in the middle of the night.

 

Updated my counter, could have many of times within the past three weeks or so. My apologies to everyone in the ranking for skewing the data with my laziness.

 

You can do it. I love your username, just keep taking that one step closer and closer to your goals. You can get there and you can change.

 

trying to work but being distracted - thought I would come here instead of the usual...

 

Checking in - happy Friday everyone

 

A belated happy new year to all. I've had a reset, but on the upside I've got my first counselling session today, so I am hoping that it helps me to keep a good streak going.

 

Checking in - very pleased to see the weekend arrive

 

I wish everyone a blessed and joyful weekend without temptations!

 

Been feeling good lately. It's pretty crazy to have opened up about this crap in person. My wife has been incredible and we're doing great right now. There's no doubt about what I want for the future but it's funny what this addiction does to the brain. There have been a couple times where I've had feelings of loss, but logically I know that I'm not giving anything up that makes my life better. All PMO ever did was make my life worse. It's hard to see that connection sometimes because it's so insidious in the way that it does it, but PMO can never give me what I want out of life. It can only take. There's no doubt that all the changes that need to take place are going to take a long time but I feel like I'm in a better place than I've been in a long time. No doubt it's worth the effort. Great to see so many people on forums like this that also understand that life is better without PMO, even if it's super hard to get there.

 

Doing good, Day 13. 2 weeks tomorrow. So much better without the mental fetishes.

 

morning all - sunny day and no urges so far

 

Weekend check in. All is going well and I had a good week, I just need to keep doing what I am doing and watch out for complacency. Its important to remind myself that PMO is not part of the life I see me having.

 

2 Weeks Clean now and my mind is cleaning out too.
