You can actually use apps on android and apple to help you time a meditation session.... the one I know is 'Calm', which is a great App for timing a mindfulness session. Some of the features you have to pay for, but the timer itself is free...

For me, the reason I am trying to give up PMO is that I have seen the world of porn out there, and after I immerse myself in it, I feel terrible. It is not really a world that I want to be a part of. It takes sex out of context of a healthy relationship and makes something less of it. I want to rediscover the beauty of sex. Also, the main reason I use PMO is as a way to cope with stress. I really would like to find a freedom, and a better way to relax! But, this is not easy to do!

 

BlackWhiteLotus, incredible moment there! You stopped mid-crisis and calmed down. I take a bow to you dude. That is not easy to do. Well done. Also, it sounds like you are seriously stressed at the moment. Courage and strength to you!

I also had a seriously stressed day today. I am also freaking out about my studies, which I am doing in a language which is not my own, so learning that too. I am on day 7 today, so end of first week. I am also experiencing withdrawl symptoms.... my body is so used to coping with stress online and with PMO.... I suppose I need to get some more exercise....when I find some time! Good luck with exams dude....

 

If you have no done so, check out In Case You Didn't Know. There is bound to be
something there that can help you.

 

Hang in there! I am feeling also stressed at the mo. Day 8 and trying to get a balance.... I am thinking I need exercise. But I also hope we will learn how to cope with life without PMO!

 

We are almost at the end of the week BlackWhiteLotus! I am sure things will get better. Sunday is coming... Day 9 for me, and I still haven't gone for exercise. Also stressed and need to relax. I know this is where I am vulnerable. Stressed and needing to relax. My brain in this state usually says...mmmmm online is good for me. But I know that is the worse place I can go!!!

 

Lets turn this 7 days into 70! Then, 700!

Answering you, I started this journey cos I was so tired of lies...and to spent 8 hours a day searching for porn... I didnt know but porn was influencing my sex life. This is the best decision i made ever!

 

First week, well done buddy, keep going.

 

Congratulations!

 

Congratulations on Day 8!
