[365-CHALLENGE] THE THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE DAYS CHALLENGE !

Please post if you find any good ways to do this. I find that fantasizing is usually the precursor to my seeking out P. I don't know where it comes from or how to deal with it other than distracting myself temporarily.

The other night I started thinking about a girl I knew a long time ago back in college, and I caught myself, wondering where the heck that came from. It's like my brain, being starved of P images, started to go through my past to bring up whatever thoughts might stimulate me in the form of daydreaming.

 

Bwhoah, I'm feeling very sick and tired. Staying in bed actually reduces a lot my libido and I find this very helpful.

P.S. Reply BWHOAH if you watch F1

Too lengthy!

 

Day 175/365

 

For sure. I haven't found anything to replace it with yet, but I can distract myself with sports, exercise, going out in nature, reading, and video games(I quit them but don't have anything against people that play them). The key is to do it regularly. They help to clear my muddled thinking a bit, or if anything offer something else to feel my mind. P.S. I know exactly what you mean about that fantasizing. Same thing occurs with me.

I cannot describe how much I enjoyed my day yesterday with my family. Joining my dad, mom, brother and sister to celebrate the memorial of Jesus Christ's death, meditating on its meaning and thereafter having a family dinner was special. We reconnected on a level that I have not felt in such a long time.

Being a Christian, I meditated on what Christ's death means for me and I vowed to myself in prayer that I will not allow a bad habit to be a chasm between me and God.

 

Agree 100% that porn is just a symptom. Some say lust is an emotion. Porn addiction is a symptom of us harboring huge bundles of negative emotions such as lust, toxic shame, guilt, anger, resentment e.t.c

 

Another book to add to your arsenal:

Day 85

 

Day 9. Had some mild fantasizing turn up last nite. This is as expected. Usually after the first week, my brain starts throwing little fits, trying to trick me into PMO so it can grab that little dopamine boost it's been missing. There's really no choice but to calmly and steadily push through it until it recedes on its own. One day at at time - even one hour at a time if that's what it takes.
