Yes, it will take time for your brain to restart until everything you saw in P will eventually lose its power and lust. Stay strong, don't give up and be patient because you know it will be worth it and your life will change in all areas. May God help you in this journey of recovery and so may everyone else. Have a happy and temptation-free weekend everyone!
Reset in the early hours of the morning again.. really frustrated with my struggles this month 13/28 days using Need to focus on recovery in February I'd love to hit 30 days again which I've only done once
Hi guys, I haven't been here for a while. Reset for me today, I ended up watching porn and masturbating to a video. Stupid. After being porn free for over a year . Well, back on a wagon
Going out of town next week for work Mon. and Tues. will be sharing a room so my streak should be fine. I've been thinking I just need some time to myself and tired of other people generally.
Day 109 Some urges but everything under control. Thank you so much! It's true. In reality, P and MO don't give us anything valuable Best wishes for everyone
@Raskolnikov II - Congratulations on your hard-earned 60 days! You have received the 60 Day Heavy Lifter Award. (You already had the 90 days and 6 month awards, but at the time you won those the 60 day award had not been created yet.) Keep up the good work!
Day 2. I had massive cravings this morning. It seemed like doing porn was the best thing in my life ever. I managed to stay off it but it was just a matter of pure luck
Checking in and going strong. I've realised I will ALWAYS be attracted to porn on some level, to filth essentially...that is a part of who I am but this doesn't mean that I have to give in to the urges to use as it's SO bad for my mental health and self esteem and I HATE porn and the impact it has on my life so this will keep me strong and get me on another long streak like I had before. Onwards and upwards!!
@Warren of fleabags - Congratulations on your amazing achievement of 9 months as of today! You have received the 9 Month Sash of Persistence . Thanks for being part of the group!
Wow, we are down to 15 members. That's the lowest membership we've had since the early days of the group. But I will keep it going as long as it is helpful to somebody. I know it definitely helps me. If I was out there trying to fight this problem alone, as I was for so many years, my self-esteem would be in the gutter. Isolation always makes addictions worse. So thanks for your participation.
I think I will always be attracted to it too, but I know indulging in it is not healthy all. I started to think recently that it wasn't so bad and I could indulge every once in a while, which led to me looking at some terrible stuff and feeling really disgusted with myself. That's not the person I want to be, so I will keep fighting the fight, even though it's inevitable that I will fail occasionally.
Thank you - I hadn’t quite realised I was at this point. It’s pretty sobering and uplifting at the same time. Please do continue this thread - it is a really awesome way for us to support each other!
Mid week check in. All is going well thankfully, my head and heart are still in the right place. When I am like this I point want anything to do with PMO thanks to the Grace of God.
I totally hear you...it's really tough to have desire for this kind of stuff, I have it to. I just know that keeping away from it makes me feel mentally and spiritually better so I will keep trying, as you are
