Makes sens. When urges get strong I think being busy and immersing one self isn't enough. introverts for example need a great deal of alone time to recharge thats when they become vulnerable to their urges, it would require unhuman level of discipline not to give in, and equally so if not more to constantly be surrounded by people to avoid the trap. I guess personality type affects what works and doesn't work. There's no one size fits all solution. Religion route isn't for me doesn't mean you or other people's way/perspectives is right or wrong, they just found what works for them and thats a a good thing.
doing good so far. well, good-ish. i really must stop googling actress' images. and i will. although i do not intend to see nudes, and didn't see any also, half of them are still revealing enough to escalate into a relapse. apart from that, had a few urges today, but resisted. but tbh, those urges were BECAUSE of me googling all those actress' images.
first day went very good, no cravings whatsoever did work, gym, and had first cold shower (kinda didn't have a choice but its all good) finished my audiobook (tomassi Preventive Medicine) while meal prepping for the week and doing laundry 1h left before bed, listening to music.. can't wait for tomorrow, life's just so fucking awesome wherever you put ur focus and attention largely determines the quality of your life
I feel disgusting right now... Im gaining weight im smoking cigarettes, im always in pain, i just feel bad. Maybe im going through withdrawls... I want to improve but I cant right now.. Im not watching porn but i just feel terrible.
i recommend too use hostfile, some instructions here : https://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/block-websites-using-hosts-file/ if not scared of using a terminal here : https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts it even has the extension "social" which blocks most social media sites.
I also had a very uncomfortable wet dream. Kind of like almost anti-relpased lol, anyways streak is going fine.
hope you all have a blessed! it's good to know that one is not alone and that people are going strong.
after 11 days I had a dream where I wanted to have sex with a girl. I think I am going to the good way
Self-improvement is amazing, but it has its negatives when people do not approach it correctly. One mistake myself and many others make is to wait for some spark that will change their lives. They keep the same habits, same routines, same negative behaviors, and they wait for a moment of wisdom that will change their lives around. It doesn't work like that. A thought cannot change your life around 180 degrees, but change of action and behavior will change your thoughts about life. For those people, myself included, hoping to get out of a bad place in their lives, just take action, do things differently and you will be at a better place. A lot of people think that you need to be inspired in order to start taking action, but its all lies. Your actions will create momentum that will inspire you and give you energy. Stick to a plan that is different from what you are doing now, and you will see results. Give yourself time, dont quit.

Been there from the negative thoughts point of view, I don't smoke but this addiction has certainly made me feel and look horrible to the point where I wanted to PMO. But that's exactly what the mind is trying to get you to do, mask the "pain" with PMO. You got this man, keep that head up and face those demons head on. They are never as bad as our mind makes us believe they are. We got you.
Day 2 and going strong. Had a shocking very disturbing sexual dream last night, hope these will go away
