35 and Older Accountability Group

Thank you friend

 

I think the developing of new habits is so important - finding something else to do instead of going on the computer/phone; sitting in a different place; going straight to nofap when you do go on the computer. The number of times i blocked certain websites or put up parental blocks - I always found a way through - I just had to STOP and say no to myself, that was the only way.

 

Three days with no edging. Next target is a week.

 

Checking in with 90 days.

 

checking in guys, (and gals) . not much to say other than its another day w/o P or M. thanks to the lord!

 

I apologise for being too graphic, my mistake. I was not intending to shame people for relapses at all, I was just saying that this mindset "I can slip here and there as long as I can readjust etc" might lead to thinking that it is ok to do PM or PMO in moderation, so to speak, which does not contribute to progress reg rebooting as we all know. This was the thinking which led me to binging on P for a few days when I relapsed instead of stopping urges in their early stages. And I did not tell anybody not to sit and just fap, I was speaking in general terms of what watching P does to young men - and women. But yeah, we all know what it does - let's focus on our individual journeys and support each other.
Checking in, all good here. Been not consistent with my morning routines recently, so I will be working on this now.

 

Check in ...good morning

 

I have read the rules and i would like to join

 

I tried this too. After a long reboot, I think it could work. But earlier on, in my experience, this is a dead end. I tried this, and it lasted for about 5 days. The biggest problem was that since porn is such a crutch, we depend on it so much for the stimulation of the senses, it is extremely hard to do the same with our imagination at that point. I would imagine everything I could to get off, and in the end I was always mentally exhausted. It was always frustrating because it seemed like I wouldn't be able to get off, but then finally after a long time I would. So, it was such a hassle, that of course I went back to porn.

 

late check in, busy night/day. Feel like watching porn alot more today than ysterday, going to the gym to work that out.

 

Check in friday!
