Emotional distance

Six months is a great start to a better P-free life. Don't let yourself be discouraged because things aren't progressing as quickly as you'd like. Think about how long you were in the 'porn fog'...it won't reverse itself in a fraction of that time.

What kinds of things are you doing to help your recovery besides abstaining from P? Are you learning what pushed you towards the addictive thinking/acting out in the first place? Are you actively trying to deal with difficult emotions when they arise instead of automatically trying to push them aside or distract yourself?

I believe mindfulness is a very important element in recovery. For some, it may take some time to get it down because, throughout their addiction, they've gotten very good at the opposite of mindfulness (whatever that's called.)
