Failure after 22 weeks.

First, congratulations on the upcoming kiddo.
Second, I admire your admittance to the problem.

I strongly believe you can get over it.

 

You Can do it Man i bilieve in you

 

I believe in you too, man. I know that feeling when you just can't accept what you're doing. I just recently had a kid and having her in my life just the small amount that she is has helped me to see that watching porn isn't what I want to do. I mean I have a daughter, I can't feel OKAY about this addiction. For instance, I wouldn't feel okay if SHE was a pornstar, so WHY WOULD I WATCH OTHER MENS DAUGHTERS??...

I can feel your pain and desperation in this post, and I do have to say that you had a great streak so just keep on going! Ive only been able to put together 22 DAYS so you are bad ass in my eyes. Keep your head up.

 

Hey dude, that's not a fail in my opinion. You went 22 weeks without porn. That's fucking impressive. I've only made it two weeks before. Any time you spend away from porn is a win. You can't be hard on yourself for relapsing after 22 weeks. This shit is a journey. Just keep going with it and you'll conquer it.

 

I did too actually. I'm about to post about it now. It sucks, but you just keep going.

 

It's good that you are here talking about it. We are all pulling for you.
And congratulations on the up coming addition to your family.
You can beat this thing.

 

I'm right there with you man. I recently made it 127 days (about 18 weeks) and relapsed as well. Let's pick it up together. We know what to do, we can do it! You've already made it that far once, this time you can keep the streak going even longer (even forever!).

I have a 1 year old and having this in my life haunts me all the time. The good news is we can defeat it. We know we can win, we just have to act on it. You know your triggers and what to do to avoid them, I know the same for myself. Good luck, I'll be fighting right along side you.

 

Same. If you could do it for 22 weeks, what stops you to do it for over 22 weeks?

Furthermore, you shouldn't cry nor be in an existencial crisis state, we're humans that have a body which triggers our needs. Being able to control, criticise and think about those needs is what differentiates us to other animals.

What you did is not a failure, it's just a mistake

 

22 weeks is super impressive dude. I know how shitty that relapse feeling is. The lies come in waves- I’m a failure, I‘m a bad person, this is impossible. None of that is true. This is an insanely hard addiction to break. I can tell you are a good dude who really wants to quit. Pick yourself up dust yourself off and get back into the fight

 

Most people I have seen on here have long streaks and then end up yet again addicted. The habit is so strong that it will take more than willpower. It will take building a whole new habit and even still your PMO habit will still be there waiting to be activated.
But you have a good life and you are smart guy obviously, so you will definitely succeed. Don't beat yourself up, just make sure it is only this one fap and don't dwell on it because things could always get worse.

 

IT'S NOT A TUUMAH.

 

Imho if I relapsed once every 22 weeks I would be chuffed to bits.
22 weeks is pretty awesome.
Congrats. (From a dad of 3)

 

Congratulations forma tour stamina.

Keep it trying, all roads are different, and tour road is probable hard at the start.

 

"masturbation is healthy in moderation" The thing is we (or i cant moderate). Sure it will start off once a week, then end once a day.

You will end up masturbating every hour with ed and watching freaky videos.

 

Ha!
